Dull Men's Club - Celebrating the Ordinary

Where dull men – and women who appreciate
dull men – share thoughts and experiences about ordinary things

We don't get out much
It's OK to be dull
No matter where you go, there you are
Born to be mild
We're giving a good name to a four-letter word
We don't try to keep up with the Joneses (who are the Jonses, anyway?)
Go for glitz and glam?  Why?

Cloud Appreciation Society

I like to watch clouds. It’s such an easy thing to do. I can do it from anywhere, anytime. And it’s free.

It’s about time that someone stands up for clouds: The Cloud Appreciation Society is doing just that.

This society and its website, founded in 2004 by Gavin Pretor-Pinney, is busy giving a good name to clouds (an objective very much the same as an objective of the Dull Men’s Club – giving a good name to dull).

A cloud should not be a metaphor for doom. I learned from this website that I must watch the thoughts I have and words I use about clouds. I no longer say “I see a cloud on the horizon” to mean that something bad is about to happen. Now when I say “I see a cloud on the horizon” I mean that I am looking at one of the most marvelous displays nature has to offer.
