I’ll be 65 this year. Wow. I can’t ignore it; my inbox and mailbox are already starting to fill up with companies trying to sell me insurance and Medicare supplements. And the way my body feels and looks, I can see why they are targeting me. Good grief, it’s really...

Greetings everyone. I haven’t written this blog for months, because I’ve been experimenting with a different media platform, and trying to be all writer-ish. Authors, even the non-famous variety, are supposed to generate a newsletter to send out into the world...

Have a seat….. First of all – I can’t write a bunch of silliness about my life without saying something about what’s going on in Ukraine. I avoid writing about politics, religion, and race because you get enough of everyone’s opinions shoved down your...

Not edible….. It’s early December – the last of the Thanksgiving turkey has hit the road and you’re kidding yourself that you won’t make the same bad choices again. But every day you go to the office, there’s another food gift in...
