As I write . . . It’s windy. It’s warm. It’s dry. There are only 11 days to Halloween and it’s 70-something degrees outside. It’s not right. It’s not fair. I think I’ll pull something out from the desk drawer . . . * * * When I harken back to those joy-filled days of […]
I am experiencing a moral dilemma of sorts and I’m not quite sure how I should handle it. Do I do what my pappy would have done — face up to it, look it in the eye, growl and then kick it in the butt? Should I call that bastion of morality, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, […]
Before I get too far into this thing, let me state the obvious: Yes, I know Halloween was last week. That said . . . We live in an old home. An old home that is next door to an old hospital. An old home that used to be a medical center, and prior to […]
I didn’t get to test drive the New Beetle Convertible GLS in the summer — which would have been my first choice to drive any convertible vehicle. I did have it for the second seven days of October. It was perfect time for tooling around with the top down and taking in the area’s fall […]

The harvest is in and the holidays are upon us. Americans, despite the world at large, can find reasons for thanks.
