For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
Spring has sprung. The grass is riz. I wonders where the flowers is. My mother, from the back woods, taught me this little poem oh so many years ago. It is of course far from the truth. A college educated man of the world, like myself, knows exactly where the flowers is. Or, are as …

“I read the news today, Oh Boy!” This is the first line in the Beatles tune A Day In the Life. As with many of their songs from that part of their career, the rest of the song makes very little sense. And Oh Boy, did John Lennon ever get that part right. The news …
There is a song, in the Broadway musical Fiddler On The Roof, called Sunrise Sunset. No, it’s not about global-warming. Why does everything have to be about global-warming these days? I mean… Oh wait, I was talking abut the song. The song is a very sensitive melody about how the years fly by as your …
Do you ever listen to older music? Specifically, I’m talking about The Beatles. If you don’t you should, they’re really, really good. Anyway, the specific song I’m referring to is John Lennon’s Come Together. In this tune, amongst several strange and meaningless lines like, “He shoot Coca Cola” and “He got choo-choo eyeballs” is the …

Here’s a good TV show Idea: Macgyver, a loose Cannon. walks into a bar with some Friends, (I think it was called Cheers). He’s there to meet up with Mama’s Family, for some Good Times, to order Chips, and maybe pilfer the Silver Spoons. It was an Emergency that they discuss some Mission Impossible. Keeping …

I was listening to the radio yesterday when a strange article came on, talking about couples sharing each other’s passwords. That, in and of itself, is not terribly noteworthy. I listen to talk radio sometimes, and they are always putting up reports on strange subjects. I want that job. Not the radio job, although being …

We have all heard our parents say stupid things. My father’s favorite was to come up to me while doing homework and ask, “Working hard, or hardly working?” Then he’d laugh and walk away. I admit it was worth a giggle in the first grade, but by the time I was a senior in college …
Disney lied. Oh, I know that statement will get comments, but the truth must come out. Remember, I am not saying Disney cartoons and movies aren’t entertaining. They are. Also, I will admit I love the Disney parks. So, all of Disney is not necessarily corrupt. In fact, unless you have serious issues about the …
What’s in a name? Shakespeare wrote, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But what if you’re allergic to roses? The names would be very different, much more colorful, and far less flattering, than if you weren’t. Admittedly, he was referring to surnames and not adjectives, but it must be considered. Therefore, …
The other day I was looking through my local TV listing. Actually, I wasn’t looking through it per se, as much as I was searching for the answers to the crossword puzzle on page one, which, as it turned out, happened to be on the last page I looked at. Then I proceeded to fill …
