Why Are Some People So Mean?
Surely I’m not the only one that has noticed: Some people are just mean. We see it everywhere. At the store, in a restaurant, at the airport and don’t even get me started on social media. Has it gotten worse or am I just noticing it more? The inspiration for this column came when I…

Random Thoughts On A Snowy Sunday
I stopped for gas the other day and the GSTV (Gas Station Television) wasn’t working. I don’t know why. Maybe it was too cold? I actually had to pump gas and had nothing to entertain me for three whole minutes! I used to think those tv screens on the pumps were stupid until I realized…
