Gettin Hip How hip is hip? When I was a kid “being hip” was the coolest status you could get. The hip people dictated the way people dressed, what kind of music was cool and they mastered the art of looking down their noises at the non-hip. Fortunately or unfortunately I was never embraced by…

Let The Sunshine In
As is often the case hearing a song will bring back memories and recently I heard the 1969 hit “Let The Sunshine in” by the Fifth Dimension from the musical Hair. Actually it was part of a medley “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in” and it was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks…
Choices
Today I spotted Krokos and Daffodils bursting forth outside and the sight of them knocked my internal clock into the Springtime mode. I know it’s not “officially” Spring, but when the sun breaks up the bleak, wet, weather I start mulling over the Choices I have. Like for instance; talking a walk, washing the salt…
A Gift that Lasted
In the past few days there has been a lot of conversation about Microsoft’s proposed buy-out of Yahoo at what they say will be a cost of $44.6 Billion dollars. That ought to point out the impact of the internet and the different search/e-mail sites. Google, the other big one, is opposed to the buy-out…
Patiently Hip
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!

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…
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…
Hot Rods
Boy do we love our cars, trucks, and motorcycles! A recent study indicates there are over 250 million passenger vehicles in the United States which is amazing given that the population of the country is estimated to be just over 300 million people! That means there are more vehicles than drivers! That should say something…
Last Thoughts
Well we’ve made it another year and it sure hasn’t been dull or mundane. World events, sports, politics, and the economy are just a few areas that have had upheavals and cataclysmic events that have affected the courses they have taken. Landmark decisions, new interpretations of current laws and the rapidly growing use of electronic…
