Mick Jagger is pandemicking like the rest of us
It’s been more than a year since most of the world headed down to their basement. Thirteen months of too much tv, too much delivered dinners and groceries, too much Zoom, too much disease and death, too much of everything. It’s been more than a year of boredom for everyone….and by everyone I really do... Read more »
The Oklahoma Sooners basketball team needs a rabbi
What a weekend of college hoops. The NCAA basketball tournament got underway and it was upsetpalooza. Things were so discombobulated that although I haven’t checked my brackets this morning, I’m pretty sure losing three of my final four teams, including my championship pick, means I’m not going to win any of the numerous pools that...

What am I missing about the royal family?
Elizabeth Phillip Charles William Kate Harry Meghan What is the big deal with these people? Why the fascination? What do they actually do? Yes, I watched the big interview with Oprah last night. Yes, I felt sorry for Harry and Megs….sort of. But, I’m still trying to figure out what makes them such a big... Read more »

The clusterfuck of working the Covid-19 vaccination system
28 million cases of Covid-19 in the United States! 500,000 of us have died! The numbers are daunting. That’s how many Americans have been lost to the Covid-19 pandemic. While all the disease and death has been tragic, it appears we are seeing the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Vaccinations! In the... Read more »
It took a procrastinator only one day to buy a new television
There’s a fine line between taking the time to do the research to make an informed decision and being a procrastinator. It’s a very fine line. I cross that line, moving back and forth, often. For instance, two years ago I needed a new laptop. I narrowed it down to two models. Then the research... Read more »
Why are there so many stupid drug commercials?
Oh…Oh…Oh…Ozempic! Did you sing the above words as you read them? Of course, you did. You know the song and you know the commercial which you see multiple times every day. The television viewing public is being overwhelmed with pharmaceutical drug commercials. Humira, Xeljanz, Skyrizi, Eliquis and, of course, Oh…Oh..Oh…Ozempic. It’s become so bad that... Read more »

What will I write about when Donald Trump is gone?
It was March 6, 2016. That was the day I wrote about Donald Trump for the first time. He was coming to Chicago for a rally and “Donald Trump doesn’t scare me” was a preview of the rally. A few days later, it was rally time. I wrote “Happy Trump Day” as a satirical look at... Read more »
My grandchild is way more popular than me!
Babies are cute! That’s a given. Everyone loves a newborn. I have a relatively new grandson. He turned four months old a couple of days ago. The novelty hasn’t worn off yet (does it ever and if so, when?), so I’m still sharing pictures of him on Facebook. I like the ones where he has... Read more »
The Week in Review: Donald Trump's Insurrection
The first full week of the new year was nothing like we’ve ever seen in America. From the Democrats winning the Senate, in Georgia to the attack on the Capitol building, in Washington D.C., it was quite the start to the new year. Let’s take a look at the lowlights in the first 2021 edition... Read more »

Songs for an unprecedented win in Georgia
It was quite a night in Georgia. Democrats won both seats in run-off races and with that, they will control the Senate. It’s hard to explain exactly what and why it happened. Maybe it’s easier to explain it all in songs? Type your email address in the box and click the “create subscription” button. My... Read more »
