MY IRISH EYES ARE FAILING
I will be undergoing cataract surgery in the next few weeks. My eyes probably are about all that I can claim as Irish. The image attached to this post is not me, but those eyes are so nice and clear … Continue reading
WHEN IRISH EYES ARE LAUGHING
This is a rerun from last year, but the jokes are timeless. Since I’m about a fifth Irish, I decided to post a few good Irish jokes for this special day. ‘O’Halloran,’ asked the pharmacist, ‘did that mudpack I gave … Continue reading
ANOTHER WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY!
The sun sprinkles a handful of fairy dust upon clinging icicles. Each one hangs on for dear life hoping that tomorrow the thermometer allows them to dwindle a bit, but in reality each day only adds to their girth. That … Continue reading
RABBIT HOLES

WHO AM I?
I love musical theatre. One of my favorites is “Les Misérables,” by Victor Hugo. Hugo lived in a time of great turmoil. The French Revolution was in its early development. People were living in poverty while their rulers partied the … Continue reading

FRIENDS BY FAITH, NOT SIGHT
I’d driven that same road several times during the week. Funny how you get in the habit of going somewhere and never really stopping to notice the things around you. There was one thing I did manage to see almost … Continue reading
OH TO BE A BEATNIK AGAIN . . .
I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s – when you were either a square, cool, a greaser or a beatnik. I’m sure every generation has their own labels, but to be a beatnik in the 50’s might’ve been akin … Continue reading
WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR MY LIFE?
