  • I think I post a picture of this tree on my socials every year. This is a Weeping Cherry Tree we have in our backyard. It was a gift from a Confirmation class my wife and taught oh…. probably twenty years ago now. Oh and yes, there are lights in the tree. My wife found…

  • Flying Fiasco

    This week it was finally my turn. I’ve been pretty lucky I guess. I’m 62-years old, I have flown quite a bit to various places at all times of the year. I don’t think I have ever missed a flight. Until this week. This week I flew to Texas to see my grandson. His mom…

  • Two different events happened this week that made me wonder if you can relate: What if one thing never happened? Would your life look different? The first event was when a friend had a meeting that he really didn’t want to go to. Yup! I can relate. He thought it would be a waste of…

  • Why Wait? Do It Now

    Last Sunday Priscilla and I went to a funeral for a family friend. It was actually my mother’s Godson so I felt like I should go and represent the family. To say it was well-attended would be an understatement. The service was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. with the visiting hours afterward, a little backwards compared…

  • Why Do Some People Wander?

    I’m pretty sure every town has one or has had one at one time or another. I’m talking about the person I call the “Wanderer.”  This is someone who just wanders — all day it seems. We have a person in my neighborhood who just seems to wander. You could say she just goes for…

  • Does anyone else have a problem with this whole “streaming” thing? I know, I can hear my kids saying, “Here we go! Old people problems!” I’ve lost count as to how many streaming services there are. We currently use about six of them and, truth be told, we share just about all of them with…

  • I was driving home from broadcasting a basketball game in Norton Friday night listening to my 1970s playlist. I go to my playlist or Spotify at night because I never really find anything good on the radio at night. That’s probably a topic for another time but I was on Spotify playing the Billboard hits…

  • Flying: Always An Adventure

    Why is it that every time I fly I come away with enough material for a column? I bet if I saved a year’s worth of notes I’d have enough for another book. Last week Priscilla and I flew to Virginia Beach to celebrate the fact that my daughter-in-law is now a Chief in the…
