I moved to Southern California many years ago to an area called the Inland Empire. It’s located about 70 miles east of Los Angeles and only about 50 miles from the popular vacation destination, Palm Springs. I’ll be honest, I had no idea where Palm Springs was located when I decided to move to SoCal.Continue reading “Palm Springs vs Santa Barbara”

A little change of pace in today’s writing. If you don’t know, I am a huge Chicago Bears fan and I am old enough to have seen a Bears game when they were playing at Wrigley Field on the north side of Chicago. I have lived and died with the Bears for over 60 years…mostlyContinue reading “The Kansas Comet”

If you are not sure what irony is, I will demonstrate and it starts with my teeth. Betcha I got you hooked with that line…or not. When you see me smile, you’re not going to see one of those gleaming, bright white, Chiclets (the little white chewing gum squares) smiles you see on some ofContinue reading “Dental Hygiene”

Having one of those days again. Can’t seem to focus on one subject but have all kind of things floating through my head. My sons claim that’s due to me hitting my head a few too many times but I think of it as a stream of consciousness (something I heard in the 60s). So,Continue reading “Wanderings”

I thought I would brag a little today. I went golfing with my friends this past weekend and I have to tell you about this one shot. I was left of the 18th green in two, under a tree, sand trap between my ball and the green, with the green running away from me. IContinue reading “Golf Enthusiast (or addict)”

I am sure all my readers have been wondering where I have been for the last few weeks. Anybody? Apparently no one has been wondering where I have been for the last few weeks. As punishment, I will be telling you where I have been the last few weeks. Could I be a bit moreContinue reading “What I Did On My Summer Vacation”

Have I told you I hate the Internet? Well, I do. I also love the Internet. Conflicted much? Thanks to the Internet I can watch shows about serial killers, some of the worst possible movies ever made and view how-to videos on my phone…how do I build that personal warp speed engine…found it on YouTube.Continue reading “World Wide Web”

This may be hard to believe but I was a bit of a sports writer in my past life. I used to write articles on local football, basketball, baseball and golf. Just picture a guy with the stub of a cigar hanging out the corner of his mouth, a beat-up old fedora with a pressContinue reading “Sports Extravaganza”

I am fed up. Just a couple of articles ago I wrote about how important it is to wear a mask. I was nice and added some humor but after today, no more Mr. Nice Guy.  I work out almost every day at home. I am doing so well at it, I’m thinking about droppingContinue reading “Enough Is Enough”

Nobody likes when other people tell you how to raise your child, but I’m going to do it anyway. The reason I can is because I have three generations of child rearing to refer to. I grew up in a family with eight children, I had three boys myself and I can look at myContinue reading “Child Rearing”
