Striving to bring a giggle and weirdness to your day, this podcast’s mission is to feature fantastic writers whose wonderful stories deserve to be heard in audio. And it feeds my love of telling funny stories about life, befuddlement, and the odd adventures in life. I have an affinity for the funny in the mundane, always have. I cataloged my weird adventures at the gym into a one-woman show that you can watch on my YouTube channel. It’s entitled Does This Happen to You at the Gym. I got a lot of joy out of that, so I began writing about my adventures. There was no way I could write enough for a weekly podcast, so I began telling funny stories by other writers. And I’m still at it.

While waiting at the bus stop recently, I noticed a crow pick up a nice juicy worm, take one bite and then reject the rest. I live in an upscale neighborhood and even the crows are picky. Turns out urban animals do take on our characteristics, as scientists in Russia found out. But who really domesticated who?

I've done lots and lots of job interviews. Every audition is a job interview and I've had several corporate jobs. You'd think my most memorable job interview is an audition but its not. Its a corporate one. Give a listen and send me your memorable job interviews. I'd love to voice them. You can tweet me @kriskkaria.

Have you ever had a conversation about the most mundane topic, like orange tape which somehow goes very awry? My friend, Gwen, reminded me of the nice, but slightly vacant receptionist who worked at the Forest Service lab for awhile. We had to watch what we said in front of her, as it often got misinterpreted.

I'm getting my first taste of having dogs in the city. My family always had cats and dogs, but on a farm or ranch, not in the city. I'm getting alot of walking done.

The holidays are over and I got the last carton of eggnog weeks ago. I'm out of eggnog and in withdrawal. My coffee is not the same without it. I'm trying a substitute, eggnog in a pouch, we'll see. Turns out they are quite a few foods only available during the holidays. Some I didn't even know about. Take a listen and let me know what foods you love but can't get all year round. You can tweet me, @kriskkaria or find my fan page on Facebook. I'd love to hear from you.

My reminiscing about working for the Forest Service Lab brought back more memories, not fond ones though. The techs sent me out again for field work in the summer, more water samples. The tech and I met a strange forest ranger who loved sewage treatment plants. I learned lots about sewage treatment which I promptly forgot.

I don't bother with a Christmas tree since there's only two of us. I do want more lights than what my little ceramic tree provides. So, I strung lights on Jack's large gargoyle. Turns out I'm not alone, Americans string lights on all sorts of inanimate objects, not just trees and shrubs. I've got a list, help me add to it, just send me an email.

I always wondered how those White Elephant gift exchanges got started and why its called White Elephant. According to my research on the Internet, no one knows. Caught in one this holiday season, here's a short story about the White Elephant.
