Today when I walked to my car, I could see my breath. When I got in the driver's seat, turned on the ignition and saw that the temperature was 48 degrees, my first step was to turn the hot air at full blast, and my second step was to curse the...

 A few weekends ago I took my "grand-pug" on a trip out of town to see my friend Liz.  Killed the proverbial two birds with one stone, since I not only got to hung out a friend I hadn't seen in WAY too long, I got to spend some time playing...

My father in law’s funeral will be this Saturday.  Technically he’s my “ex” father in law, but since I kept my ex’s family in the divorce, I still get to claim a seat up front in the “family” section of the...

I've got to say something.... I think Mrs. Palin may be on to something. Palin: "I don't want to talk about that, I have this other agenda that I want to discuss." Think about how useful that tatic could have been for our...

Okay, I’m not sure what happened to Helen Hunt, but apparently her face got caught in a vacuum machine and she was only able to survive after pulling back so hard that her face fell off.It doesn’t seem that long ago that Helen Hunt was perky...

I live with a room mate. It's a smart thing to do I suppose. It's cool because, you get to live with a cool buddy, and divide your bills in half -- half the rent, half the power bill, half the cable bill: It's good stuff! Well, my room mate is in a...

One day late last year, I was perusing GrowingBolder, which is a website you may have heard of.  I stumbled across an article about a man who'd created an amatuer baseball league for adults, and decided to check out the league.  After weeks of...

To begin with, I was writing this blog right after Friday the 13th.  I thought I posted it, but apparently I didn't hit the submit button or was interrupted.  Anyway, on Friday the 13th I was washing dishes and was rinsing my last pot when the...

  This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store.   We...

Inflation has hit the tooth fairy. My friend was complaining his grandchild got $10 from the tooth fairy. He was comparing that to the quarter his kids found under the pillow when they lost a tooth. That reminded me of the time my son asked why the...

   The evening of September 14th, the night of my first speaking engagement, turned out to be rainy and rather miserable.  But, that didn’t deter about 40 hearty New Hampshire folks who turned out to hear me talk about the Why...
