For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
It always starts with an accomplishment... Well, it’s May. A month for rain, flowers, marriages, graduations, and of course tears. This year my second son, leaves high school for the lofty heights of college. My wife sits around looking through the old albums, with a tear in her eye, whilst I cry much louder for …
Many are called A while back I had the honor to be on jury duty for a week. Well maybe honor isn’t the correct word. Perhaps I should say it was a distinction. No, it was more of an experience. I guess that’s not quite right either. I have it. It was more like a …

Let me ask you You’ve probably heard that our friend covid caused some teensy-weensy delivery delays. Well, I’m here to say that’s just nuts! In fact, I ordered a refrigerator with my tax refund, and it arrived this week. Of course, it was my 2020 refund and I ordered it in March of 2021, but …

A saying to remember There is this great old saying, “Never Send a Cow To Do An Eagles Job.” I don’t know who said it originally, and I really don’t care. It’s a pretty dumb saying. It might have even been me, one night in my youth when I was blasted out of my gourd. …
