We’re just a couple of weeks away from Halloween, and that means gearing up for lots of trick-or-treaters.
I don’t know where all of these kids come from, but I’m pretty sure we import them from all the towns and cities in our area.  It’s nothing to have 200 or so dogs, Spidermen, princesses, cowboys, vampires, […]

It looks like OJ Simpson might just be on his way to the pokey — and for a good long time.
Two of the his co-defendants have already turned State’s evidence and will no doubt testify against Simpson in connection with that memorabilia armed robbery in Las Vegas. If he’s convicted of all the […]

Autumn is my favorite season.
I love the fall — the cool, crisp air is always a lot less humid than the summertime conditions, and that means I can breathe more easily.  The trees put on their annual magnificent display.  I break out my mother’s recipe and have my favorite, pumpkin pie.  Football rules.
Still, I know […]

They grow up so fast!
I just got off the phone with my sister.  Her granddaughter and her fiance just bought a house.
He works at a funeral home with the owner.  It was part of the guy’s parents’ estate settlement, so the kids got a pretty good deal on it.
Still, it’s hard to believe that little […]

Late night TV leaves an AWFUL lot to be desired.
There was an infomercial on last night that really takes the cake.  I don’t know the guy’s name, but he’s a fixture, always selling all sorts of things.  Now he’s pushing colon cleaners.
I’m sure there’s a legitimate market for this product, but I can’t imagine that […]

For the first time last night in a LONG time, BJ and I got into the hot tub.
It was a little hairy trying to climb the steps and swinging my leg over, but I was able to do it without pain, and the hot, bubbly water really helped my back, which has been aching a […]

Several weeks ago, I promised you all a picture of my 1967 Cadillac Convertible. It’s taken me awhile, but here she is:

Isn’t she pretty? I was hoping to have a buyer this past weekend, but the guy never called me back. So I’m still hoping to hook up with somebody who will […]

If you’re considering a cash advance, you might just want to clean out your garage or basement.
BJ and I drink a LOT of Coke, and we always save the aluminum cans for recycling.  There’s a can crusher right outside the kitchen door, and once we collect enough to fill a big trash bag with the […]

I’m not exactly the model for nutrition and healthy habits, and as it turns out, I’ve been doing quite a bit wrong to help heal my broken pelvis.
First, the online experts I’ve read say I should cut back on protein and carbonated beverages. I’ve been living on ham and turkey sandwiches and huge amounts […]

BJ has a way of figuring things out that doesn’t always match the way most people think.
For example, having BJ as your Euchre partner means this:  “Pick it up, and you’re going alone.  I’ll take the nine out with me.”  We get set a lot.
This one was really funny, though.
I still can’t drive, so BJ […]
