I know exactly what I am missing. Back in the day, when I was a wee lad, some friends and I used to make regular trips to a certain donut establishment, which shall remain nameless. Let’s just say I owned a t-shirt from them, and I owned stock in their company… really. I was enamored [...]

Sometimes being a pal is hard work. You may have to give your friend a ride when their car breaks down or tell them that they have a booger hanging from their nose. Sometimes you may have to tell them that they keep making the same grammatical errors over and over. Other times, you have [...]

I like a good peach. Remember that song by The Presidents of The United States of America? The song that goes, “Moving to the country. Going to eat a lot of peaches”. I always disliked that song. I always made fun of that song… “They’re not talking about peaches, you know”. Occasionally, Terry will get [...]

As I have noted previously, I wear flip flops all the time. Yes, yes, just like many of you, the flip flop is my go-to footwear for 8 months of the year. Several times I have been out and about, you know, shopping, mingling, wining and dining, being social, coffee-shop-ing, and all of a sudden [...]

How do you approach eating out? Or dining out, if you prefer. I am not referring to spending money or where you eat, but what is your modus operandi? My late grandpa, who we fittingly called Gramps, would walk into a restaurant like he owned the place. Sure, he might look at the menu, but [...]

Many times, I weigh the weights of a situation or situations. Do you weigh the weights? What are the weights? Well, we are not going to discuss what the weights actually are, but, they are not physical weights… sorry Terry. The weights are immaterial, they are intangible. So there you are, in a room full [...]

You are walking. It is cold outside. The sub-zero temperatures make you bury your face beneath your scarf such that the scarf is wet with the moisture of your breath. At least your breath smells good.
