Life After Covid
The changes have started. I touched on this before when the quarantine began. I wondered if some companies would find that a smaller support staff proved to be just fine so they wouldn’t hire everyone back. I’m noticing that some companies are staying with their work-at-home mode for at least part of the week. Last…

Feels good when they’re all here
It’s always wonderful when we’re under the same roof. I have a friend who has mentioned this before about how wonderful it feels when the whole family is under the same roof after they’ve grown up and moved out. It’s difficult to get together at times and it seems even more so as the years…

How do you determine a good day?
When you turn the lights off at night and crawl under the covers, how do you determine if you’ve had a good day? I’m reminded of the line that says, “Any day above ground is a good day.” I’ve heard friends who work with the public who say, “Well I didn’t kill anybody.” Seriously though,…

Dance in the Rain
Yesterday we had some heavy rain here in Virginia Beach, my home away from home. Normally that might upset some people especially if you had outdoor plans or errands to run. We had planned on having a beach day until the forecast earlier in the week said we might get what was left of Hurricane…

Trying Something For The First Time
I have a confession to make. No, it’s not that I’m giving up on the Red Sox though that is tempting. I lived through the early years, I’ll survive this. No I’m not suddenly anti-mask. I have several and try to coordinate with my outfits. Question though: Should I match my shirt or shoes? I…

Missing That Closeness
I read a meme the other day that made me lol, which I guess a good meme should. It was Clint Eastwood in that “Get off my porch” picture and it said: I know it’s been a rough few months for some people and there are still some restrictions. We are still having church via…

Thanking Dads and Others
Father’s Day was always a weird day for me when I was growing up. My dad died when I was six so I don’t remember ever really celebrating Father’s Day. I do remember years where it was just another day and nothing special. It was June of 1990, my first Father’s Day as a dad,…

Grocery Store Pet Peeves: The Corona Version
Without looking back, I probably have written a half dozen or more columns about my adventures at the grocery store. Everything from carriages that stick together to people who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle, I think I’ve covered it. And if I miss anything you, the faithful reader, have sent in…

Saying Goodbye to a Good Man
With all the news across the country this week I wanted to make sure that I took the time to write about a local loss that we suffered. I have not written anything about the protests because I have nothing to add to all the stories we’ve seen and I’m not one of those writers…

Why Do We Do It To Ourselves?
I know I know—- there have been two other columns about my dog but this one’s from me. Wait a minute…….. As you may or may not know, our Beagle, Oscar, died last week. He had been sick so it was a blessing. Knowing that though doesn’t make it any easier. Why do we do…
