After Hazel and my New Orleans honeymoon, we settled into a little home in Lennon, her home town. I don’t recall the date, but it would have been a Saturday night in November 1949. We had just gotten to sleep when Hazel’s friends decided to drop in. Actually they didn’t just drop in. They sort […]
This is hardly news, but I was told recently the greenies are out to control the world. But, so are the Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, atheists, Russians, Japanese, Californians, Alaskans, upper and lower Slobovians, oil producers, Mexicans, Hollywood, etc, etc., but not the Detroit Tigers or Lions. ?

I don’t recall ever hearing a commercial that I recall liking as much as the one with a cow saying ‘Eat more chicken.? * * * I was caught up in all the hullabaloo in the news coverage of the Pope coming to the United States. It’s a first for him! I listened to a […]
I think Congressmen should wear uniforms, you know, like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors. Here we are a year ahead of the 2016 elections. Already I’ve heard enough propaganda from the self-proclaimed perfect candidates I’ve recleaned my up-chuck bucket three times. From his first speech as president of the United States, […]
My sister, Barbara, who plays golf twice a week year around, suggests others use the following list of rules of golf which she has adopted for her play. A ball hooked or sliced into the rough shall be lifted and placed in the fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried in to […]
