In the past I have discussed the logistics of feet sweating something like 91 quarts of sweat a year. I have delved into the mysterious differences between men and women. I have even had the courage to explore what happens to a penny after it is swallowed. I have provided a veritable font of wisdom […]
When I was a wee bit younger than I am now, I used to shake my head with sadness or shake my fists in anger — I used to get upset at the sheer volume of signs screwing up our roadsides. When I was too young to drive, back before seat belts were mandatory and […]
Despite the still colder than normal temperatures, this week you may see journalists across this far and wide land dancing jigs in the streets and in front of governmental buildings (kilts are optional). This seemingly pointless jubilation can only mean one thing: A. Free drinks at the pub down the street. B. Free lunch at […]

Last week I got some great news. News that had me whistling happy tunes, snapping my fingers and tapping my toes. I had a stye in my eye — left to be exact. That’s it. That is my happy news. I went to the urgent care center in Oxford, sat down on the table-bed thing […]
Four years ago, this week we were knee-deep in presidential campaign politics. Guess what, we are now, too. Here’s what I wrote then, but what is best about that column was what I stole from humorist Will Rogers. It was the same four years ago, as it was 80 years ago. * * * Give […]
