Well they say life is the result of experiences and in the recent weeks I had an experience that will certainly add to my life; my view of life to say the least! For the first time in my life I was a patient in a hospital. Sure I’ve been in the hospital before to…

February is a Month to Celebrate!
Well we made it though the Christmas month of December and the resolution filled month of January, and now February is here and full of great days to celebrate. This year it’s “Leap Year” with one extra day, 29 instead of the usual 28 which happens about every 4 years so this year it’s a…
Party
Seems like everyone I know is going to some kind of Christmas party. They have them at work, church, the local pub; friends hold them and so do social agencies. Some women I know have parties to make things like cookies and treats, some have them to decorate things, and swap tales. As a rule…
Yes, it’s Super!
The Webster Dictionary definition of “Super” is “greater than others of the same kind” and when “Super” is used in “Super Bowl” it means it’s the greatest game going that day! Actually it’s been the biggest game of the year for the forty one years; this years Super Bowl is number forty two. Of course…
Hot Rods
Boy do we love our cars, trucks, and motorcycles!

By now everyone; sports fans, non-sports fans, animal lovers, children and teenagers alike know about the fall of former Atlanta Flacons Quarterback Michael Vick. The sheer magnitude of the money he’s going to lose as well as the Atlanta franchise and Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank, is close to unbelievable. Personally Vick is going to…
College
After watching the college football bowl marathon I came away with memories of time in college. Since a lot of these bowls have been played for years there were a lot of references to the different years big events happened. I remembered that forty years ago this February when I was in college there was…
Regulars
What happened to the regulars? When I say “regulars” I mean people you see all the time at a particular place. How well you know them varies but I always wonder just what happened to that “regular” that is no longer there! I wonder that when I pass a coffee shop, restaurant, market, ball field…
A Non-Human Slave
Slavery is a social economic system under which certain persons known as ‘slaves’ are deprived of personal freedom and compelled to perform labor or services”. Well that’s the dictionary definition of a slave; but does it only apply to people? For example, have you ever thought about how about an electric Public Address system feels,…
