SHOPPING WHILE IMPAIRED
SHOPPING WHILE IMPAIRED (S.W.I) we've all done. it. You stop in the local super market to get one item. But you make the mistake of grabbing a cart, and the next thing you know, you're buying a riding mower and a side of beef. I remember just such an SWI moment after an NCAA basketball upset. I...

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

CRAZY CELEBRITY BABY NAMES
MOON UNIT. BRONKS MOWGLI. JER MAJESTY. These are just a handful of the insipid names given to tiny babies by stupid parents. Gone are the days of John and Jill. Why name your child Bob or Barbara when you can name them a scientific formula like Elon Musk. And God Forbid you name your kid Karen.

MOVING YOUR KID TO COLLEGE
The day I moved my son to College brought back a ton of memories. It reminded me of my first day at the University of Southern California. That was in the early 80's. What a difference 4 decades can make. I moved in an era of no cell phones, no internet or digital footprint. He moved into a...

COVID 19 MASK
Masks work great in a surgical suite. Masks are a great idea if you know what the hell you are doing while wearing a mask. But for the rest of us morons, masks are just a reason to touch your face with a contaminated hand. I say if you can protest without a mask, then you can do anything else...

I HATE MY WORDS
