For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
When my father was ten-years-old, he went to my grandfather and asked him for ten dollars to buy a game. You might have heard of the type, cardboard playing space with cards and various plastic pieces. So much for the ancient history class. You probably weren’t interested in this fact at all. And I’d be …
Boy! Talk about your moral dilemmas. I am shocked, appalled and very confused.

I have a serious question. Well, not earth shattering, but it feels kind of important to me. I hesitate to ask it, because it might be the eternal stupid question everyone is looking for. Don’t doubt its existence, and don’t try to sweep it under the rug with patient denial. You know you’re doing it. …
Well It happened. A dear friend just celebrated a monumental birthday and then gave up the ghost. Yep, my car is twenty-years-old and it marked the day by not starting. At first, I thought it was just being lazy. Hey, on my fortieth birthday I didn’t want to do anything either, but I spent the …

My father was a man of few words. That said, he had the greatest work ethic I have ever seen in anyone, and I’ve met a lot of anyones. I worked twenty years in retail electronics, and frankly, anyone came into my store every day. In those days I could meet six or seven anyones …
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday Mr. Ohh!, Happy Birthday to mmmeeeee, and many more. You are welcome to send all the expensive presents you want, but in truth it is not my birthday. It’s the day I celebrate my birthday. Perhaps an explanation is in order. You see in my …
As many of you probably know, and many of you probably don’t care, my niece has young children. Good for her. The reason I’m mentioning it, is that a few days ago I decided to babysit for her. In truth I was roped into it and had no choice in the matter at all. But …
Well it’s August again. A time of great rejoicing, provided you are the parent of a school-age child. Yes, Back-To-School is upon us. A time for pondering the mysteries of why the thousand dollars’ worth of school clothes you bought only three months ago no longer fit. You can also look forward to trying to …
