SINGING IN THE CAR
Summertime and the living is easy. At least it used to be. Well, maybe it never was easy, but I have some wonderful memories of summer vacations with my family. There were the road trips, where we’d all pile into … Continue reading
MY ADVENTURES WITH CARS
My very first car was a 1950’s Ford Fairlane which was about to leave the world at any moment. Fortunately I didn’t have to drive more than three miles a day to take my children to school. When it finally did give … Continue reading
MAKE ‘EM LAUGH
Ever since watching the movie, “Singing in the Rain,” I have great joy when I can make someone laugh. Maybe I should’ve become a standup comic. Is 78 too old to start a new career? The only problem I can … Continue reading
LOUISIANA JONES & HIS MUMMY
It’s throw back Thursday, and time to share an oldie but a goodie. Paul was shuffling through some old photographs a couple weeks ago and found this gem. When he owned his ad agency, we’d have an annual Halloween party. … Continue reading
GOOD HAIR DAY

THE PRINCESS & THE PEA
I’ve been ranting about this kidney stone for some time now and it finally met its demise a few days ago. Recovery is going along as expected. The first night after the surgery, I was wide awake at about 3 … Continue reading
THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE
Yesterday morning was filled with a time of waiting while listening to reverberations of Claire de Lune as I was placed on hold. This seems to be the story of my life lately as I try to rearrange my schedule … Continue reading
MORE GOOD NEWS
Who would think that two little stones in the kidney could cause so much trouble? One Cat Scan revealed the little buggers a few weeks ago. Prior to that I was nursing a knee that had been Cat Scanned also. … Continue reading
GETTING THE BUGS OUT
For all my 77 years of living, I’ve been under the misconception that Daylight Savings Times was suggested by one of our founding fathers. Ben Franklin actually made a suggestion similar to this when he was living in Paris, but … Continue reading
WHEN IS TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH?
When we lived in the heart of Minneapolis, I had a membership at Costco. I’d drive a long way, spent more than I should’ve on things I normally wouldn’t buy, bought my prescriptions, had photos developed, got ink for my … Continue reading
DIETING WOES
In my lifetime I must have tried at least a couple hundred different kinds of diets. I started to notice that I wasn’t the cute little Shirley Temple look alike I thought I was when I turned nine or ten. … Continue reading
