When I read the news that the dark-haired half of Siegfried and Roy Las Vegas show was dragged off stage by one of their white ‘friends? I thought, ‘There’s a column in there somewhere.? Roy Horn, 59, was bit in the arm, then dragged off stage by the white tiger Montecore, in front of an […]
While sitting on our brown, Italian leather sofa the other evening, I came to a startling revelation about myself: I do not like plain, single-colored socks. Nope. I don’t like ’em. It’s nothing personal against plain-colored socks. Their monochromatic tendencies are fine for other folks. Just not me. I don’t believe they’re boring or dull. […]
As I write . . . It’s windy. It’s warm. It’s dry. There are only 11 days to Halloween and it’s 70-something degrees outside. It’s not right. It’s not fair. I think I’ll pull something out from the desk drawer . . . * * * When I harken back to those joy-filled days of […]
I am experiencing a moral dilemma of sorts and I’m not quite sure how I should handle it. Do I do what my pappy would have done — face up to it, look it in the eye, growl and then kick it in the butt? Should I call that bastion of morality, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, […]

The conversation started innocently enough. A person advertising with us wanted to know if her ad was ‘too risque.? Ever the eavesdropping kind of guy, I listened as our ad rep hemmed and hawed trying to answer. When the conversation was completed and the phone connection terminated, I asked what all the hubbub was. The […]
It’s a tough gig I got. While driving new cars all the time I have to take notes — mental and with pen and paper. And, it’s annoying to hop from car to car not knowing where the light switch is or flipping the lightswitch when trying to find the windshield wiper gizmo. Like I […]
Does anybody remember comedian Bill Murray’s lounge lizard routine from those exciting days of yesteryear, when ‘Saturday Night Live? was relatively new? I only ask this, because three year old son, Sean Rush, is following in Bill’s footsteps, if only because he walks around the house singing (over and over), ‘Star Wars, nothing but Star […]
Christmas is the time for family and friends to be together; to hold each other and to remember, we love. Most area families this week are together. They’ll be giving presents, swapping stories of Christmases past and enjoying each other’s company. And, many area families have this opportunity because of the efforts of a very […]
