Should I get a Roger Stone-like tattoo on my back?

Should I get a Roger Stone-like tattoo on my back?
Have you seen enough of Roger Stone lately? In the last week, he’s been the main topic on all the cable news channels. It started when he was arrested last Thursday. The FBI knocked on his door at 6am. Yeah, it’s fairly early, but nothing outrageous. Next he claimed he was treated worse than Osama... Read more »

Would you work for free?

Would you work for free?
Imagine this scenario: You go to work. It’s your scheduled payday. You’re expecting a paycheck. What you get is your employer telling you he can’t pay you today.

It was the year of living in danger for the media

It was the year of living in danger for the media
“Love to bump into you in a dark alley. Your entire outlook would change and trust me you would never talk shat about our President or his family again. Tough guy with a keyboard. Actually you are nothing but a bully coward.” It happens a couple of times a year. Someone doesn’t like something I’ve... Read more »

Michael Cohen’s eyes tell the story. It was a sad scene as Cohen and his family walked into a federal court on Wednesday. The look on their faces showed they all knew he was going to prison.

Steve Winwood and Joan Jett join Michael J. Fox to fight Parkinson's Disease

Steve Winwood and Joan Jett join Michael J. Fox to fight Parkinson's Disease
When you think of Michael J. Fox, what first comes to mind? Is it Alex P. Keaton from “Family Ties?” Marty McFly from “Back to the Future?” Maybe his characters from “Teen Wolf”, “Spin City” or “The Good Wife?” I think his legacy will be the work that he’s doing in the fight against Parkinson’s...

    My so called friends think it's time to edit this section. After four years, they may be right, but don't tell them that. I'll deny it until they die! I can't believe I've been writing this blog for four years. It started as a health/wellness thing and over the years has morphed to include so many things that I don't know how to describe it anymore. I really thought this was going to be the final year of the blog but then Donald Trump came along. It looks like we're good for four more years..God help us all! Oh yeah...the biographical stuff. I'm not 60 anymore. The rest you can read about in the blog.
