I’m taking a little break from standing at the end of a freeway offramp with my little cardboard sign to talk to you about taxes. Yes, I have been forced to come up with a snappy little slogan on an old piece of corrugated cardboard in hopes you’ll throw spare change at me before thatContinue reading “Taxes, Smaxes”

This past Thursday I drove my wife 45 miles to get her second vaccine for the Covid-19 virus. I couldn’t be more excited to finally get her fully protected from this deadly pandemic. My wife was “Yea, OK…let’s do it if we can go visit the local shopping area.”  Our priorities might be different butContinue reading “Vaccine Hesitancy”

My wife and I have had a tradition for years to take a little trip in the springtime. Not a full blown vacation, just a short trip somewhere after a long winter. Thanks to the pandemic, we were robbed of that opportunity in 2020. Just about a month ago, my wife was sitting on theContinue reading “The Great Outdoors”

Just the other night my wife and I rented a caper movie called “The Vault.” I really enjoy a good caper movie and, even though this one did not get much distribution, it wasn’t that bad. The story is about a treasurer hunter who finds an old sunken Spanish Treasure, only to have it takenContinue reading “Caper Movies”

I just played in my first softball game in over a year…ouch… and I’m hurting today. My whole body hurt so bad, the only way I could communicate with my wife while laying in my lounge chair was by blinking Morse Code with my eyelids. They say Father Time defeats all athletes. He’s kicking myContinue reading “Old Aches and Pains”

I try my best to avoid talking about politics in this column but I can no longer avoid talking about the crisis we have at our border. Aliens are pouring over our border, taking our jobs, crowding native born Americans out of their neighborhoods and living amongst us while injecting their foreign ways into ourContinue reading “Border Crisis”

It’s award season! OK, I can hear the loud yawns out there but I like award season. I watch most of these award shows to see if my favorite movie, song, TV show or actor takes home a prestigious golden trophy, marking their accomplishment in their craft. It’s important for our society to recognize theContinue reading “And The Winner Is…”

I haven’t read a comic book since I was in the Army so many years ago. For some reason comic books were the reading of choice for all of us young men (I was in the army so long ago that women in every aspect of the service were the thing of dreams). I doContinue reading “Weekend Man”

I have a golf equipment store not too far from my home and it never fails, every time I walk into it to buy golf balls, tees or get a club regripped, I walk out with a new golf club. Let me clarify. It is not really a new club but a previously owned clubContinue reading “Course Knowledge”

The last thing I thought of when I first signed up for my first land line so many years ago were “robo” calls. I did not sign up for these intrusive calls from telemarketing companies (the civil name I use for such companies. You don’t want to know what I call them when they callContinue reading “Robo Becky”
