I’m not a big fan of spam. Yet, I have a certain psychological, sentimental fondness for spam. On the 5th of July in 1937 (right after the 161st birthday of the United States) Hormel foods introduced us all to spam. I wasn’t alive then and neither were my […]
I was just on the treadmill continuing my attempt to learn lip reading. See, I watch the television while exercising. However, I don’t listen to the tv. I actually listen to my iPod. I dutifully exercise this way day in and day out. I like keeping my brain […]
Fidget spinners are all the rage. You go into any kids store these days and there are rows and rows of fidget spinners. There are also tons and tons of kids, all ages, just trying to convince their parents that they need yet another fidget spinner. […]

I’m a huge, huge baseball fan. Namely, of the New York Mets and Yankees. Everyone I knew grewing up in the South Bronx lived and breathed baseball. Well, everyone except my mother. She found baseball to be excruciatingly boring. However, she never tried to convince me of her […]
