Not so long ago the entire family was dining together, and the discussion turned to the inability of my wife and daughter to get up without ...

It is a chilly 16F outside this morning with a threat of flurries. Winter is upon us, I believe.  I am back to work after the long weekend. ...

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that the upcoming Rolling Stones tour is sponsored by AARP?

 I woke up in a good mood. Then the Keurig refused to make coffee. It won’t even make hot water. Nothing. I think the bleeping pump has died...

It is a bittersweet day. I won’t belabor the point. Today is my grandson’s sixth birthday.  Later this afternoon the wife and I will go down...

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, I sure did. Of course I ate way too much and had too many desserts. That’s what it about. Well except f...

Ha ha ha now you have it. BTW, is that the most Seventies of seventies videos?  I know there is an East Chicago (in Indiana), but on the “ol...

That one will really get stuck in your head. BTW, why does The Godfather get all the “greatest movie of the seventies” hype? Did the critics...
