As a guy that is getting older, I have come to appreciate the things people told me when I was younger and thought that old was something for other people. Now, I can appreciate the stories I sat not so patiently through. Here is one of my favorites. Its called: Samples Please! An old man goes t...

While there isn't much to like about most politicians I have to admit a lot of them just aren't very smart. A travel agent for thirty years in our nation's capital has this to report:"This is why we're in trouble! I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn'...

I tried it out on a good friend who happens to be a minister and after he laughed he said "God will forgive you I promis...

If you don't like sports today's blog is not for you. I have been a sports fan all of my life. Not at the expense of other interests but along with them. Today though, its sports. This weekend saw what is arguably the number one golf tournament of the year, The Masters. How big is the Masters? It...

Last night I posted on Face Book and twitter how enjoyable it was for me to see and hear a thunderstorm in Tracy California. I grew up in North East Ohio where thunderstorms are quite common. A pilot once told me that its one of the area of the country weather actually forms, so a nice day can tu...

I think my common sense has gone defective on me. It seems now like things that seem like common sense to me are not to others. Or, maybe some elements of America have gone mad and will challenge anything they don't like, right up to the Supreme Court. Each year in our wonderful United States of ...
