A Sheep Trick Played On Most Of Us.

I attended the James Taylor concert last Thursday. Yes, I not only travel well, but am willing these days to drive 2+ hours on a Thursday night to Orlando. And of course, make the requisite wrong turn on the way back that sent me through Bithlo, something no one in...

My What A Big Head You Have.

I was watching television last night when I noticed the phenomenon again. I was waiting for Glee to start and Scotty McCreery on American Idol was standing next to Ryan Seacrest. And there staring back at me was Scotty’s mammoth sized head. I only became aware...

You’re A Pill. Now Look Like One.

When I was a kid, my Aunt Linna always would say to me, “You’re a Pill.” I never understood what she was saying. Of course, I never understood why she would spend hours laboring over a puzzle either whenever she visited our house. But as we get...

Caught Up In The Employee Draft.

I was watching the NFL Draft over the weekend. Outside of the fact that it is ponderously boring to watch and every player drafted gets a #1 jersey with their name on it, I think it has some wonderful potential. For a college player, it’s a dream come true. Even...

The Sound of Silence.

Spring has sprung and the snowbirds are going home. Thankfully. Once again, all the out of state plates are heading back north and the streets, shops and stores are once again mine and mine alone. Well, almost mine. Few people probably know what it’s like living...

The Nissan Leaf? It Blows!

I never thought I’d live long enough to see the day when our once adrenaline and testosterone infused country would become a society of wusses. But there it is, right before my very eyes – the downfall of our society – the Nissan LEAF. I remember...

If There’s Not A Word For It, Make One Up.

As you know, I have something of a love affair with words. Unlike those pesky numbers that always tripped me up in math class, words have no wrong answers. Best of all, you don’t even have to use the words that can be found in the average dictionary. You can...

Man, Those Are Some Shapely L’eggs!

As a young man, I used to build models. They could be cars, trucks, military vehicles or planes, no matter. I was really good at it, too. By the time I was 14 I could finish the most complex model sold in a day. I think that was a little distressing to my mother who...

Parallel Universes? I Knew I Was Misplaced!

Like I needed to fill my head with more information, I tuned into the Science Channel last night.  After watching a great piece on the Tank on the Moon (about a Russian rover three decades before we had the ones on Mars), one of my favorite documentaries popped on...
