For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
A false start and false hopes Well, it’s autumn. The season of change. It might have been the season of dollars except that was reserved for December, and the holidays of spending. Oops, I meant giving. Therefore, in September and October we are really only able to spend change. Was there a point to all …
Welcome to August Welcome to August. A very significant month in my life. Not only is it the peak of summer in the northern parts of the world, but it is also the month where my thoughts change from paying off Christmas bills to thinking about managing next year’s holiday debts. Yes, for thirty-one glorious …

Welcome to College orientation Well, I have now been orientated, or maybe I should say indoctrinated, perhaps brain-washed is the most correct term. I’m not sure. What happened was I went to my son’s college introduction seminar and I kind of feel like I’ve joined a tribe. The speakers called it an inclusive college community. …

It always starts with an accomplishment... Well, it’s May. A month for rain, flowers, marriages, graduations, and of course tears.

It started so simply 88 Open mouth, insert foot, close mouth. 89 Open mouth, insert foot, close mouth. Oh, I’m sorry, I’m being punished and have to write that one hundred times. Yes, you heard correct. Mr. Ohh! is being disciplined because I did something that not only embarrassed the heck out of one of …

I love these titles and would do anything to maintain this air of mystique, except for one tiny little problem. It’s all a load of refried-monkey-dung. I don’t know what bunk …
I like to read. I wouldn’t say I was well read, unless you count Sports Digest and the funny paper, in which case I’m a literary genius. I did read a bit in college, but I was able to keep that to Spiderman Comic books. Heck, you change a couple of names and they become …

Goals are important. I personally have goals to eat a piano and win a Chili Cookoff in Texas. Well not at the same time. Currently there is no access to a piano. I did live in Texas for a while but frankly, never ate the chili. But as I read in one of those Self-Help …
Several months ago, I got a letter from my old alma mater. Whoopee!! So, they need more cash and think they should ask poor shmucks who haven’t come close to using their degrees in years to give it to them. You’d think intelligent professors in academia, would get the hint; I’m not sending you any …
