Gosh, it’s been so long since we talked. How you been? How’s the family? Seen any good movies? For me, it’s been a time for accumulation. I’ve been taking notes on everything from whatever happened to Condoleezza Rice, to aging, vegetables, dog food, advertising slogans, to happiness according to current son-in-law Bob. Please note the […]
Doubling up: 2 favorite topics in one column Bacon ‘n Shayna! If you’re not interested in either of these subjects perhaps you will tune in next week when I try to explain the origin of the universe, how automobile companies know how to build cars that get 1,000 miles per fill up (but won’t manufacture […]
This miscellanea brought to you by Mr. Cellanea When you read a headline like that you know you’re in for some ‘profound? statements, some outstanding prose and some stuff from the manure spreader owner. You can expect to read a 2010 Jottings that’s completely unrehearsed, unrepeatable, unnecessary and certainly not serious. Keep that in mind […]
About a month ago I read, heard or smelled that bright colors were ‘in? for men this Spring. So, I immediately bought a yellow, short sleeve shirt. If I have a favorite color it’s yellow. Mommy’s influence. In the good ol? days of golf, wild colors were the rule on the links. Plaid slacks or […]

Does your train of thought have a caboose? Don’t you think talk radio has way too much talk? I missed the National Hockey League. Did I sleep through it?? Enough with the questions. Here’s a favorite license plate: PB4WEGO. We’re into the golf season, and here’s a golf- ing definition John Patrell would like you […]
At the beginning of every year for as far back as I can remember (2009), the news is dominated by telling us ways to save money. One major emphasis is on coupon clipping. Headlines yell, ‘Over $25,500 in coupon savings in this issue.? That in mind, I am a saver, I took the insert coupons […]

Here, Shayna; come girl; Don’t leave me, Shayna For exercise I like to walk. And so my dog doesn’t get bored I’ve taken to finding/visiting new, exciting places to exercise.
