A gathering of predators with blood in the water

2008-06-16T22:31:51Z

I seldom write anything to do with golf. That's because so few people I know out here have any interest in it. Some of them believe it's not a sport at all; something akin to fishing or curling, etc. This weekend I was glued to my TV whenever ...

Friday the 13th really is unlucky I'm discovering

2008-06-14T15:39:07Z

Maureen and I went to the movies Friday. I'm not normally superstitious about Friday the 13th...still, there's nothing wrong with playing it safe. If that belief doesn't get you, Murphy of Murphy's Law certainly will. I despise Murphy. We've ...

2008-05-26T22:28:27Z

Another adventure in My World

2008-05-08T12:32:30Z

Idle hands are the Devil's weapons of opportunity. Busy hands belonging to an untrained but highly experienced sidewalk mechanic are Murphy's playthings. Wednesday morning, as I finished off my second cup of coffee while trying to determine wha...

Languishing in the "golden years"

2008-05-04T01:06:20Z

I was not aware of the exact time, nor can I be positively sure as to the day of the week; I can however assure you that the event which would follow in the next few minutes has been indelibly etched upon my faltering mental systems. I may not r...

What life is REALLY like when one gets "OLD"

2008-05-01T11:27:07Z

It has long been said that in the spring, a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. I am one that would agree with such thinking...at least as it applies to young men. However, when one reaches a certain age, like 65 or more and I am now 6...
