So far, so good. Been to three of my doctors this week, and every one gave me good news. Heart- check. Feet-check. Endocrinologist- check. A1C came down, lost a little weight, all good. Eyes tomorrow. The older you get (and living with diabetes for almost 30 years) your health becomes your top...

Not necessarily. There are plenty of young people who are complete loners. For me, socializing is just my wife and myself, or with a few people from church. But I never hung around with a huge entourage. Even playing in bands, it's usually just the four (or five) of us. No man is an island...

Kid, you're still in your childhood.

They're thinking of rebooting Jersey Shore. This is my state, and they are/were an embarrassment. If I never see The Situation again, it'll be too soon. A lot of peoples' misconception about New Jersey is that because it's such a tiny state, I must run into EVERYBODY. No. There's 8 million...

No, you are not, by any stretch of the imagination. My mouth used to be a lot worse 20 years ago, when my commute was an hour each way, and road rage was just coming into vogue. My dirty mouth still opens up once in a blue moon, but much less frequently as I get older.

I thought this was old news. It seems that since Mama June lost all that weight (and a chin or two or three) she can go out and get any man she wants, and give hope to all her dumpster diving redneck sistas out there. Ya gotta redneckonize!!!! Honestly, how this show ever became a thing...

My whole family smoked, all my aunts, uncles, grandparents. But back in the 70's it was common for just about everybody to smoke. Didn't make it right, but society deemed it acceptable back then. Every family gathering, when it was over, it was always a chore emptying out the ashtrays. So...

Reminds me of the classic song by Yes, "Starship Troper". 8)

There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name-o. B-i-ngo B-i-ngo B-i-ngo And Bingo was his name-o. You probably sang this song at least ONCE in your youth. But, they never said... Is Bingo the name of the dog? Or the farmer? We established the farmer had a dog, but which one is Bingo...

I love Dylan too. (For the uninitiated, the song in question is called "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35") The opening track from his 1966 "Blonde On Blonde" album. I can see where the line might grate on some, but I would've given anything to be in the room when this song was recorded. Dylan and some...

I loved Spencer's since I was a tot. I always loved in the back where they had the lava lamps, strobe lights, black light posters, and all the neat stuff to turn your room into a hippie crash pad. Black lights. I must be addicted to that ultraviolet glow. Found a number of decent Sesame/Muppet...

The closest I ever came to a goth phase was standing for 5 minutes in Hot Topic. 8)

Back in the 80's (when radio stations played 60's rock (then considered classic) as part of their rotation), this song was everywhere. You couldn't ignore it. Then it got to the point in high school where some jocks would see some cute girl coming down the hall, and it was Showtime: "Dere she...

I'm sorry to hear that. I make lasagna a couple times a year, and Garfield would probably have to fight me for it.

Lasagna probably being the exception. I've mentioned before, in my pizza priority list: 1. Mom and pop locations, in my case Frank's or Vincenzo's 2. Some frozen pizzas, like DiGiorno's self-rising crust 3. Chains from best to worst, Papa John's, Domino's, Pizza Hut 4. Homemade, with a Boboli...

To show you how classy it is, one K-Mart by me (before it closed down) sold Little Caesar's at the snack bar. If it was a toss-up between Little Caesar's and Tree Tavern (the worst cardboard frozen pizza on earth), Tree Tavern still wins out.

I used to be able to make a pipe out of tin foil. 8) I'll save you a few bucks.

I hear "Desperado" in the distance, and I'm sinking into a trance...

Maybe it took a while to say "Wocka Wocka", but in the beginning his ears wiggled.

A lot of people get seasonal depression this time of year, due to the cold, less daylight, holidays are over, and many people already broke their New Year's Resolutions ("This year, I'm serious about going to the gym!"). Vitamin D should help. Not just for bones, but stimulates serotonin in the...
