Damn, it’s been hot…EVERYWHERE. I keep seeing different maps online that show the whole country colored orange (the color that usually represents that it’s cooking out there) and 100-degree temperatures from east to west and north to south. If it stays like this, Canadians will stay home to keep warm in the winter. I keepContinue reading “Damn, It’s Hot”

Age Related
If I knew I was going to live this long, I would’ve taken better care of myself. Who of us hasn’t heard that saying or used it? Don’t believe it. Only the good die young…really! How about: He/she wasn’t sick a day of his/her life. Complete cow patty (trying to be good here). There areContinue reading “Age Related”
Highways and Byways
Over the past few weeks, I have driven quite a few miles and made a few observations while traveling on the highways and byways (that would make a great headline… make a note) of this fine country. I am going to share some of my thoughts from my time traversing this great country. I haveContinue reading “Highways and Byways”
What I Did On My Summer Vacation, 2026
Before I share my exciting summer vacation, I feel I should explain why I haven’t been posting blogs for a while. First, let me make this perfectly clear: it’s not my fault; it’s Joe Biden’s fault or Obama’s. I have absolutely no evidence to prove my claim, but do I really need any? It worksContinue reading “What I Did On My Summer Vacation, 2026”
“I used to be able…”
I am a man of a certain age, or as my sons put it, older than dirt and twice as disgusting. I guess that makes me a dirty old man. As I have advanced in age at a tremendous speed (I was 30 just a few days ago), I find myself using the phrase “IContinue reading ““I used to be able…””
Prime Time
I’m just warning you, this will be an “In my day” article, but I’m also sure most of you will agree with me, even those born in the last 20 years. Here we go. Like everyone else who watches television, I am being forced to make some tough decisions. You know the kind, “cut theContinue reading “Prime Time”
Weather or Not
I just walked in the door after my senior softball game. Why they let me in this league, I’ll never know. I hear you snickering. The weather today is beautiful. A clear blue sky, no wind, and 72°. This was our first game in about three weeks. Just a couple of days ago, there wasContinue reading “Weather or Not”
Bearing Down
Scene: A basement in an old recreation center. The walls are covered in dingy, yellow ceramic-coated bricks from decades of neglect and cigarette smoke (when it was allowed), and the floor is old, green, and dirty linoleum that is most likely filled with asbestos. The few fluorescent lights that work are flickering in their deathContinue reading “Bearing Down”
Excuses, Excuses
As a few of you who actually read this blog have noticed, I haven’t posted anything in a while…months to be exact. You are probably wondering why. Anyone? Well, I will tell you anyway. I have been dealing with a significant medical issue that required some intensive treatment, and being the wimp I am, itContinue reading “Excuses, Excuses”
Yes, Chef
My wife is a great cook. I am amazed how she can walk into our kitchen, take what is available in the refrigerator and cabinets, and whip up a meal that tastes better than what most restaurants serve. The other day, I mentioned in passing that I saw a picture of split pea soup, andContinue reading “Yes, Chef”
