When you want to compliment the restaurant you ate at last night for their “done-just-right” chicken livers, chances are you’re going to turn to Facebook and post a note on their wall. Same thing is bound to happen when you want to bitch at Greyhound for sitting you next to the toilet on the New [...]

An email reached my in-box this morning that sparked my curiosity. “Save 63% off our selection of [deleted].” “Save up to 55% off the entire [deleted] product line.” “[Deleted] entire line is on sale. Save up to 53% off.” These deep discounts prompted me to click through to the site to see if this was [...]

“Can I use your bathroom before I go?” “Sure,” I obliged. “What’s with all the soap and shower gel?” “Um, do you need any?” I asked as I stammered for an answer. “No, and apparently you don’t either.” That quick conversation lasted less than fifteen-seconds, but outed me as a thief. Come on, admit it. [...]

I’m supposed to die today. I’m not too concerned about it. I just hope I don’t meet my maker the same way James F. of Ohio did. He got run over by a bus. Helene R. of Texas fell into an open manhole. She’s dead. Then there’s poor old Fred W. of Montana, his wife [...]

The piece of mail most people never like to receive arrived in my box the other day. Official Jury Summons. While I appreciate the fact that Lackawanna County wanted to make sure I am not left out when it comes to performing my civic duty, I must respectfully decline the invitation. It’s not that I [...]

On my way home the other day, I had to stop off at the local grocer to pick up a case of water. As I made my way through the store, I passed the deli where a charming young lady smiled and offered me a sample of bracciole. Anyone who knows me, knows that bracciole [...]

When the valet delivered my car yesterday, he handed me a card announcing the new “Auto Spa” being offered at the club I belong to. For a brief moment, I was excited. Then I realized that anytime you throw the word “spa” onto something it commands a higher price. I’m used to taking my car [...]

It’s been a while since I did a video blog and believe it or not, at least one person not related to me asked why I stopped doing them. It’s not that I don’t like to do them, it’s just that it’s quicker for me to sit down and bang out some words on my [...]

There used to be only a few things that made me cringe when I visited a website: animated GIF’s, Comic Sans font, and music/video that started playing automatically. Today, I’m adding three more things to that list, which I hope doesn’t start to get too long: Non-Standard Fonts – When I go to a website, [...]
