Facebook has made the word “friend” real cheap. Probably when they changed it from a noun to a verb. Having ten thousand friends you’ll never meet means nothing to me. I’d rather have the five that have stuck with me through thick and thin.

Sounds like a poor man’s Arby’s.

Once I made a trip to PA just to go to Curry Donuts. Got a dozen toasted coconut. I was one happy camper. Plus a large hazelnut iced coffee to wash them down.

Calamari is like scallops. If they’re overcooked, they’re impossible to eat. Again, in other parts of the world, they eat it as much as we eat chicken.

You might say no to this, but someday you might change your mind. Once I went to a restaurant that served exotic meats- alligator, ostrich, snake, etc. I wasn’t sure at first, but alligator wasn’t that bad. It seems to be more popular down in Florida, where gators are everywhere. Gator tastes a...

I felt that way about lamb too for 40+ years. Then a friend made some lamb chops which changed my mind. No mint jelly though. I tried duck once, but found it a little greasy. Rabbit I have no desire to try, cute cuddly things. Deer, I used to feel the same way. You can’t eat Bambi! But after a...

We never had Marble Slab, but a place probably identical called Cold Stone Creamery.

As far as sundaes go, hot fudge over black raspberry ice cream. You don’t have to go crazy with toppings. Sometimes less is more. I’ve seen kids at the frozen yogurt place throwing on everything plus the kitchen sink Although my favorite Ice cream topping, on top of hot fudge and whipped cream...

Like you, around here , you can’t walk five feet without stumbling on a Dunkin’. Krispy Kreme (based in North Carolina, I believe) made a dent here back in the 90s. The newspaper ran a h Aldine Krispy Kreme would put Dunkin out of business. Didn’t exactly work out that way. Even better than...

Yes, but without the helmet and mask, I’m not a Power Ranger. Just a hippie freak pretending to be be.

With all the gear on, your field of vision is reduced to one square inch. The mask is to cover your face so they can’t see in. Trouble is, you can’t see out. If you’re the least bit claustrophobic, this gig ain’t for you.

And Fauci is the “they” that’s pushing it. one time 15 years ago, for a kid’s birthday party, I got hired to dress up as a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger (I was the red one. That’s all I know about them.) Easy gig. Play tag and pose for a few pictures with the birthday boy. Half hour in the...

Okay, history stands corrected.

I was around six, seven, eight years old when Good Times was originally on the air. I had no idea how tv production worked, how they got those cameras into an apartment and have a studio audience watching. Good Times was tv’s first spin-off if a spin-off. It spun off from Maude from All in the...

I’m making chili today. Starting it today and let it simmer in the crock pot Back in ancient times, we had the same thing. It wasn’t pizza, it was a cheese brick. Part cheese, part concrete.

Losing people will always hurt. Back in 2015, my wife lost both parents within six months of each other. My dad was no bargain. Even though he died in 2008, it took me a few years to get over that. Things, I never had much trouble of getting over the loss of things. Only when I had my hair cut...

I’m all for that. A lot of people of different colors and languages are for that too. Another thing I don’t get is cultural appropriation. Some woke guy on YouTube made a big stink that white people shouldn’t wear sneakers because that’s racist. So would it be just as racist for a black...

With my friend Brian, I didn’t just cut ties and refuse to speak to him again. I felt sorry for him that he had this hatred in his heart. It made me feel more sad than angry. I’m fortunate I never had to deal with racism, with a few notable exceptions. At various times at Toys R Us I’ve been...

Wouldn’t it be funny if Black people thought we all look alike? Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

I had a friend in high school named Brian also. He was not the least bit shy dropping the N-bomb. It wasn’t hard to see where he got it from. His dad and grandfather said the same thing. One time he made a comment “All N-bombs are like this”. And he expected me to agree with him. In clear...
