Mother could be the absolute best at untangling things. She had a real talent for rubbing a thin chain, balled up as it may be, between her thumb and forefinger that would loosen the knot so that it could be straightened out. She also had a whole network of spies…
It’s time for this week’s reflection. Remember. Let us reflect upon the loss of the 41st President of our country. After the leadership we have experienced the last two years, it is necessary to recall the statesmanship as well as the highs and lows of George H.W. Bush. His bravery in…
Let’s go chasing Waters next fall! But it won’t be much of a contest because we know exactly where to find him: Camp John Waters. How we never heard of this debaucherous experience until now will haunt us until our dying day, but we’re making up for lost time and…

It’s been a trying week. Let us gather in prayer. Prayer. Now, more than ever, people of all faiths need to come together at one altar to pray for this country. Angry individuals are coming unhinged and acting out in dangerous ways. One sent 12 fake bomb packages to politicians…
For me, the nerdy hot thing started with Howard Bannister. And, even if the term “nerdy hot” actually is an oxymoron, it didn’t much matter when Ryan O’Neal as Howard dropped his pajama bottoms in the bathroom doorway while Barbra Streisand was taking a bubble bath in What’s Up, Doc?…
