is a FAMILY FRIENDLY web publication featuring an eclectic mix of (hopefully) humorous stories, answers to (mostly children's) questions, interesting news topics and odd or eccentric viewpoints and opinions. Basically we cover anything that interests me (aka Grandpa Oddball). If you have a question or topic you'd like to see covered click on our ask or suggest links. If you have a news item you'd like to share or if you have alternate viewpoints or opposing views to our opinion pieces that you'd like to submit click on our submit link. We're not proud and will consider any family friendly inquiry.

As with many endeavors this project has taken on a life of its own. Strangely, in addition to my stories and my answers to children's questions, people seem to be interested in my odd (I prefer the word eccentric) views on a variety of topics. Well, I'll try to accommodate your requests though I have no more particular expertise than anyone else. Being disabled I do have the time to do more research than most people on a subject and my interests are somewhat eclectic.

I have a list of topics that have been requested ranging from abortion to economics and politics. Many people seem to be interested in my views on technical subjects like renewable energy or the environment. As soon as I'm able I'll start posting articles on those subjects on my list. Not all the articles will be written by me as I often run across interesting or opposing views expressed by others which I'll try to include as well.

I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting topics to research (it keeps me mentally busy) so if you have a topic you'd like me to address enter it below and send it to me. Please help me out by keeping your suggested topic pithy. My rules for investigating a topic are simple. If it interests me and does not involve spreading unsubstantiated rumors or character assassinations then I'll add it to my list.

Hope to hear from you soon.
