Assemble Peacefully. Affection or Affected? Let’s Put A Helicopter on Mars. A True Badass. Thought-Provoking. More than one person asked me why I had no ‘take’ on the events that took place on January 6 in Washington, D.C. and the United States Capitol Building. My first response and what will always be my response is …

Most of last year seemed to be a blur. Dealing with all the dynamics and ramifications of the pandemic distracted many of us from the usual milestones of the calendar year. Starting last March, the significance of annual events and holidays took to the backburner as we dealt with Covid-19 and sheltering in place. Though …

There Was Some Good. The first post of 2021 should in essence be go-forward content and not reflect back on a year that was one to forget. Though we can never forget the friends and families affected by Covid-19, we can actually look back to some positive or enlightening things that came out of 2020. …
Dates Looking Forward. Muted. “He Would Kick His Granny”. Goodbye 2020. My disdain for darkness at 5:30pm continues. For years we “go dark” when daylight savings time is extinguished and we head into the dark days of winter. I don’t start my daylight savings time countdown until the new year but here are some dates …

Non-Chain Support. An Eclectic Dining Experience. Temperature Perfect. Captain’s log, StarShip 12.10.2020. A Super Cool Cookbook. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Up, Up And Away. Bat Sh-t Crazy. Increase Productivity By Going To Four Days? The Roar Of A Lion. A post from the past mentioned this interesting idea which has now come to fruition.

What are you thankful for? NOTE: I want to thank a guest writer, G.W., for offering up his “Take” for this week’s post. Very much appreciated. It would be hard to author MY take the Sunday after Thanksgiving without noting some. I’m going to start with the strangest one. I’m thankful for having had a …

Unprecedented. Uncanny. Unbelievable. Happy Thanksgiving to ALL of you. Fortunately most of us had the opportunity to watch Diego Maradona play. Many of us remember him for his ‘hand of God’ goal against England, but what I remember is the other goal, where he gathered the ball in his own half…..and you know the rest. …
Moderna Advantage? It Has Been A Year – Let’s Be Thankful. Speak Your Words.
