This Feels Incredible!
It may be hard to believe but I think I’ve found something even better than “New Sock Day!” I’ve written before about how I love new sock day. And I should probably point out: I’m talking about athletic socks. New dress socks are nice but I mean the socks you wear with your sneakers. They…

Planning for The New Year
Happy New Year! And here we go again! Welcome to 2023. I thought I would share my new year’s resolution with you. For years I always seemed to make the same ones: lose weight and exercise more. Yeah… how’d THAT work out? I do belong to a gym now where I try to use the…

My Christmas Message
I just wanted to take a minute and wish you all a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah. I truly thank you for taking the time to read these blogs, or columns, or “my ramblings” as I often refer to them. This year I have noticed that a number of people I know have been posting…

Raising Grampy – The Holidays!
Hi guys! It’s me, Liam, and I KNOW! It’s been awhile! Mommy asked me the other day why I hadn’t posted in a long time and I said, “Hey! I can only work with what I got!” Grampy was hogging the tablet. Mommy looked it up and I haven’t been able to write since October!…

Christmas Cards and Memories
I finished making out the Christmas cards earlier this week. As I’ve said before, I don’t know how this became my job but it has. My wife, Priscilla, buys a few boxes of cards every December 26th and then puts them away with the decorations every year. As soon as we take the decorations out…

Who Do You Trust?
I read a story the other day that made me stop and think, which I guess is the sign of a good story. It was a study that said the average person has five people in their life they can trust. At first I thought, “Gee that’s too bad if you only have five.” However,…

“Hey Hon? Any Turkey Left?”
It never fails… especially if you’re the one who hosted….Turkey for days! I remember when the kids were younger and still living at home. They would come down for dinner and you’d hear it: “Turkey again?” I’ve found that my tastes have changed over the years. My favorite used to be the turkey sandwich with…

Thanksgiving Changes Through The Years
When I think back to Thanksgiving Day when I was young (yes I have a few memories from that far back), I seem to remember each Thanksgiving being about the same. My mom would cook for days. We would all eat with me and my cousins sitting at the kids table. Then we would play…

Some Random Thoughts
Just some random thoughts on a Sunday morning. Sometimes I get an idea but then I think, “I can’t make a whole column out of that.” That’s when I file them away and, after awhile, the file grows and I decide to post them. Why do people walk in the street when there’s a perfectly…

Did You Change Your Clock?
Did you change your clock last night before you went to bed? Yeah, that’s still a thing. There may soon come a day when we no longer have to remember “spring forward, fall back.” You may have heard that there’s a bill in Congress that would eliminate the time change. Back in March, the Senate…
