If you haven’t already registered to vote, and are eligible to do so, please do so immediately because all of the elections this year, from the Presidential and Congressional elections to your local and state elections are extremely important. I am a long-time firm believer that consistent voting, not just in Presidential elections, but in … More Voting in America’s 2016 Elections
I played Trivia again this past Wednesday (by the way, my team won again for the 3rd week in a row – yay!) and afterwards my daughter, Tara, asked me if I wanted to go to a small tavern very near her place for a last call because one of our very favorite people, Emily, … More Sometimes All of Us Just Need Some Compassion
Last week I played in a Trivia Contest with 2 people I had never met before: Aaron and Molly. They were both such great people and so much fun to chat with. One of the categories was “Adult Swim.” All of the five questions for that category were going to be about the different shows … More Lassifer: The Evil Collie From Hell
To quote Charles Dickens from his book, Tale of Two Cities, it was the best of times and it was the worst of times. But for the most part the 2016 Olympics in Rio was the very best of times for athletes, visitors and viewers alike. Even before these 2016 Games began, there were many … More The Closing Ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics

But my temporary sleep deprivation … More The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro
This has been a horrible month for my wallet. My internet bill went up $20 a month, despite pleading phone calls to Charter’s customer service (wow, is that phrase a joke with those people!) and to that department’s supervisors that were in vain. Then somewhere shortly after the first of this month, I picked up … More Thank You, Joseph Grummer!!
Donny Boy (sung to the melody of “Danny Boy”) Oh Donny Boy, the courts, the courts are calling, from east to west and down the country side. Your wallets gone and all your polls are dying. Tis you, tis you must go and you must hide. Your oft told lies have now come back … More Donny Boy: My Ode To Donald Trump
After Melania Trump gave her speech last night at the Republican Party Convention in support of her husband, Donald Trump, the Internet blew up with charges that she (and whoever “helped” her write her speech) plagiarized Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic Party Convention speech. One of the best and funniest comment on this whole fiasco was … More Melania Trump’s Republican Party Convention Speech
When I was in high school in the early 1970’s, I purchased a P.O.W./M.I.A. bracelet (prisoner-of-war/missing-in-action) of an American serviceman in the Vietnam War. The information on my bracelet was “Capt. David Dingee” and the date “6-27-72” which was the date he either was made a prisoner or became missing. I later found out a … More My P.O.W. Bracelet
