The cruelest of ironies, Colin Powell died from Covid, even after getting the vaccine. So he certainly wasn’t part of the anti-vaxxers or anti-maskers. Very soon, if it hasn’t happened already, half the Chicago police force will be let go for not complying with Biden’s mandate. And there’s one...

There is still hope, as slim as the odds might be. But to sign yourself out might not be the wisest move.

Vanderbilt in Nashville? He might run into my sister there. I didn’t think you could just sign yourself out of hospice. I thought, just like a hospital, you need a doctor’s clearance. Otherwise in a day or two you’d find yourself right back in there.

You must have better legs than me. 🥶

Growing up, those Ben Cooper make and costumes were everywhere. I had my share of them. But some kids went to great lengths to make their own costumes. Props to them. The first time I ever wore makeup was when I was three. There was some carnival and I got my face painted up as a clown. I loved...

Masks are decent, but for past Halloween’s I’ve enjoyed having my face painted up. I’ve done Dracula a few times, once a mummy, and a friend who has a steadier hand than me did me up pretty well. Mostly whiteface (one time as Dracula she tried green) black eyes and lips, a little blood from the...

Your dad made it further quitting than mine ever did. Until he went into the hospital for the last time, his habit was three packs of camels a day. Every day for 55 years. His nicotine withdrawal was so severe they put four patches on his arm just to calm him down. It’s kind of hard to win any...

There’s quite a bit to unpack here. I’m vaxxed, but I don’t feel the need to mask up because…I’m vaxxed. If I need to keep masking up, what was the purpose of the vaccine in the first place? My rule of thumb: if you’re vaxxed, go live your life, go back to work, you’ve done your part. Next...

I’m a little late this year, but Happy Birthday all the same. In your honor, I’m taking my car to the gas station with a hundred dollar bill and tell them “PHILLIP!!!!”🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

There’s something about it that rubs me the wrong way. I’m still trying to understand how people identify as trans in the first place. It also raises my eyebrows how many get extremely defensive if you don’t respect their pronouns. I can accept that, but some change their pronouns from one day...

Up until yesterday I didn’t even know (or care) who Demi Levato was. some of her musings seemed bizarre. Freaking out at a froyo shop because of the sign “sugar free” triggered her into hysteria. Sweetheart, labeling items sugar free is for the benefit of 30 million diabetics like me. Get over...

Sounds a lot like my dad. In spite of his shortcomings, he’s still your dad, and I know it’s painful to watch him suffer. I take he was a smoker, right? COPD, emphysema, etc My dad was no prize either, drinking and smoking until it caught up with him. There’s still a chance through some miracle...

If aliens, dogs and cats are so offensive, what would be suitable names to replace them with? And then how are you going to re-condition society just because something offends your delicate sensibilities? Some snowflake got offended at traffic signs. They used to say WALK/ DON’T WALK, but...

Coffee and milk, yes. Even tea with milk, yes. Iced tea with orange juice, maybe. But orange juice and milk, no way, no how.

You know what, Cullen? The Electric Company got so much mileage out of silent e. Besides Tom Lehrer’s song, and the one with the monsters, I have two.favorites. 1) Morgan Freeman sitting in a tub. But he’s also sitting in a tube. In the end, he stands up with an inner tube around his waist, and...

It depends on how the owners train them. I met a few who are nice with people. Others are trained to attack you. Same with Rottweilers.

Powder Toast Man!!! That’s terrific! Dang, that was 30 years ago. I remember Ren and Stimpy originally aired on MTV before finding their home on Nick. After Ren and Stimpy, Spumco kinda fell into disarray. At one point, they were pitching a new series based on one of Stimpy’s nose goblins. Too...

Last month when Biden unveiled his vaccine mandate, roughly 80 million were invaxxed. He pretty much called the untaxed the scum of the earth. Simple math shows just as many people voted for him. Coincidence or irony?

I can’t remember if I posted this. But for his 80 th birthday and still kicking, my top 10 Bob Dylan songs. 1) Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 2) Hurricane 3) It’s All Over Now Baby Blue 4) Sweetheart Like You 5) If Not For You 6) Tombstone Blues 7) Positively 4th Street 8) Subterranean Homesick...

There was only one store up here that had a Dunkin and Baskin Robbins under one roof. Their merger didn’t last long. Baskin Robbins had a few stands in mall food courts, but that’s about it. Out in California, they’re everywhere. There are a handful of froyo places, but they’re not everywhere...
