HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY Today, we honor all those men and women in the armed services who gave their lives protecting our freedoms. Originally called Decoration Day, this day of remembrance was created during the Civil War to pay tribute to those who fell in battle. And while the actual summer solstice doesn’t happen until the…
Hello again……
He is one of the world’s most successful and prolific song writers in history. Some might say he is the father of the power ballad. Adorned in colorful sequined shirts, he brought you such mega-hits as Sweet Caroline, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, and Forever in Blue Jeans, and to paraphrase the immortal Neil Diamond, I…

In the early 80’s, two life changing events happened almost simultaneously. Tom Cruise had his breakout role in Risky Business, and I spent the night with a buddy up the street. The first makes sense although some may argue Mr. Cruise’s performance in the Outsiders catapulted him to superstardom. The second is a bit more…

Ancient Egyptian pharaohs thought they could confer powers of immortality. Some cultures believed they would bestow super-human strength. While other civilizations have credited them with helping find lost objects or opening doors to the spirit world. They may have been the poison that killed the Roman Emperor Claudius in 54 A.D. And that guy, Stan…

“So, you are walking down a dark hall and enter a dimly lit room. Over in the corner, you hear a noise. You turn and see a shadowy, menacing figure moving towards you. Could it be an Orc, a Hobgoblin, a Troglodyte, or perhaps a Werebear? What do you do?” Generally, I would draw my…
Sweet Potato Hash
Today, I want to discuss hash. Now, I am not talking about some experimental phase you had in college involving black lights, Grateful Dead music, and a long-haired, hippy- looking guy named Stan. No, that type of hash is better left in the incense-filled dorm room where you left it. And besides, that type of…

I must admit that I am not a big fan of left-overs. Maybe I was traumatized as a child. I mean every week, short of the netherworld experiencing unseasonably cool temperatures, we had left-overs twice a week. Mind you, “re-used lasagna night” wasn’t too bad; but, “re-used tuna casserole night”…I still cringe. Worse yet,” re-used…

The great fountain of knowledge that is Wikipedia credits Elbert Hubbard for coining the phrase “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” In 1915, Hubbard actually wrote “He picked up the lemons that fate had sent him and started a lemonade stand.” Since then, many authors have used some variation of this phrase to emphasize…
Black Eyed Pea Latkes
The yule log has been extinguished. My gay apparel has been packed away until next year. The tannenbaum has been properly recycled. The auld acquaintances have been forgot (actually they just went home). And over the weekend, I finally took down all my Christmas lights. The holidays are over, and I can officially wish you…

Folks, the holiday season is here. Time to deck the halls and don your gay apparel. If you have one, strike your harp and join the chorus. If you don’t have a harp, just follow in merry measure while the blazing Yule is set before you. And as you troll an ancient Yule-tide carol and…
