Arizona Cardinal quarterback, Kurt Warner has the 40+ gang rooting for him in the Super Bowl. We old guys like it when one of our own shows the young guys they still have game.
He’s in good company.
George Blanda may not have been the first athlete to stir dormant juices in old guys, but he did have his time. [...]
A Veteran and his wife were going over their funeral arrangements. On the question of pallbearers, the Veteran answered, “I want representatives from all the Veterans’ groups”. Surprised by his choice, his wife asked, “Why would you pick them for pallbearers? You’ve always said those guys were losers, and you’d have nothing to do with them?”
The Vet said, “Easy, [...]
Twitter is based on the simple premise that everyone is always doing something, and they’ll take time to tell about it in a few words. It’s like a shout out to whomever may wish to read it.
Some folks follow thousands of other Twitter-ers; others are followed by thousands. While they’re mostly Joe Averages, some are famous like Lance Armstrong, [...]
If I’m awake at 11:00 P.M., I watch a PBS news show called Worldfocus. I like its old school approach: just one newscaster sitting in an 80s style sound stage. Like most news shows, a human interest story is used at the end to send the viewers off in good moods.

He combines an acidic wit; sharp writing and an assurance not matched. He delivers his caustic brand of news from the MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann anchor chair. He’s so good they found a female counterpart, Rachel Maddow to allow the MSNBC’s 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. weekday schedule go unchanged.
Sure, I cringe when he lops off my [...]
A former employer applied this wittism to activities where costs will not be covered by the expected results. Sure, you can squeeze the final drops from an orange, but the effort’s not worth it. His direction has stayed with me and become a lifeline when I’m in a hyper-focused state trying to do a project beyond its norm.
During my home [...]
Watching the Travel Channel is a harmless, and usually educational, way to spend time. The hosts travel the world meeting with other ethnic groups and making new friends. Throw in native foods and drinks, and it’s a sweat gig!
In many countries, the natives dress almost like Americans. Go to Vietnam and every kid under 16 is wearing American logo [...]
At funeral masses, the “Ave Maria” prayer/song is standard stuff. It is most powerful when sung during the quiet time after communion. This song must be a benchmark for seriously talented singers. If they can do this song well, their abilities have reached their promised potential.
To me, the singing of the Ave Maria marks the zenith of a [...]
When my Mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, my family started a learning process about the aliment. Too much about AD are mysteries with only a few guideposts to mark its progression. More myths exist than facts.
One unresolved issue is how close are we to having a cure of any kind. Thirty years ago, AD was just starting to get some [...]
