A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
"A guy willing to do dangerous, futile things." Well that statement just about covers every boy I have ever known, from my brothers to my husband to my son. Have you never seen the show "Jackass"? There is also "Jackass the Movie."
