It’s true. I really am turning into the same kind of curmudgeon as my grandfather who used to throw his slippers at the TV or radio when there was some news item that stirred his ire, as well as a few chosen words. That’s the way I’ve felt too often in the last few years […]

This is a perfect offering from Slim Randles to share on the blog today. It’s roasting here in Texas and has been for several weeks. No rain for several weeks, either, with none in sight. And of course there is no global warming. Sigh… Anyway, it’s too hot to rant about anything, even though the

Normally for the Fourth of July I post something fun and patriotic, but my patriotism is really lagging right now.

Again and again I asked the question, “When will it ever end?” And again and again the answer is…. In Buffalo New York, the families and friends of ten people who were heartlessly shot and killed on Saturday are mourning their loss and maybe asking the same question. The shooting took place at a busy
Good Monday morning everyone. How was your weekend? Mine was very pleasant and I was thrilled to see my rose bushes starting to burst forth with flowers.

My plan for today was to just talk about a book I’m reading that has captivated me for the past week, but then I decided to check a couple of news outlets before settling into the work day. Not a good idea for my plans or my blood pressure. Because I like to have something
