Jump Grasshopper Jump!

Like a grasshopper rubbing it's hands together (or is that a praying mantis?) I have been contemplating starting a blog for some time.  I have finally decided to jump in.

Grasshopper clippings are meant to be humorous.  Most will be relatively short stories, and like a grasshopper, will jump from one topic to another without a smidgen of transition.

They are meant to be clippings from my life with a humorous spin. This is for two reasons.  First, I need to practice writing.  If you couldn't tell already, I'm not very good at it.  Second, I think finding the humor in situations can lead to a much less stressful life, and doesn't everyone want a little less stress?

I cannot guarantee that these clippings will be funny to anyone besides myself.  I also cannot guarantee that they will be entirely truthful although I can assure you that they will all have a basis in truth since that's where the best stories come from. They will also be much better if you read them with an accent.  A Maine accent if you can.
