WELCOME
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come in the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these." -- SUSAN B. ANTHONY

THANKSGIVING TIME AGAIN
Just like my birthdays, Thanksgiving seems to come around a lot more often than it used to.

MY OWN ANNOYING PHRASES
You've no doubt seen that new list of the most irritating phrases and words in the English language.
Researchers at Oxford University released it last week, and I've seen it turn up seemingly everywhere.... in every blog, in every newspaper, and on most newscasts.

NEWS ALERT?
Sometimes I think news folks are a bit too eager to label stories "Bulletin" or "News Alert" or "Breaking News" or "Flash" etc.

THE TEMPTATION OF CHOCOLATE
Wanna know what prevents me from maintaining the slim, trim figure that I had 25 years ago?
Perhaps the vending machine pictured here plays a small part.

DON'T MAKE ME DANCE!
Listening to different satellite radio channels over a span of several days, an awareness settled in.
I was hearing lots of songs about dancing.
They're always there.
It's a common theme.
