My son and I have the most wonderful conversations. As he grows older, it’s becoming more and more apparent that he has my odd sense of humor and gift of observation. It was he who brought up how creepy children’s shows are today. He particularly dislikes...

My friends love to chide me about the sliding scale I have regarding rules. I have some rules that I follow very rigidly. And there are others, ones that some people would call laws, that I don’t follow at all. I don’t profess that there’s any logic...

As a young man growing up in the free-loving 60s, I certainly was a bit of a dweeb. I really liked girls, all the way back to the 3rd grade when I had my first crush, Joleta Cutler. She doesn’t remember me in the least but I certainly remember her. I was...
