That's not "sparkles", but spark-less. I'm referring to my blind lunch date yesterday. That's "in a word" my impression of how things went.This dating game/scene isn't easy. I have mixed emotions abou...

I refuse to honor the groundhog. Instead, I'm giving attention to the more ancient Feb 2nd Candlemas Day.I'll repeat what I've posted on previous CDs (from my grandmother):"Candlemas Day, Candlemas Da...

I have a confession to make.I never learned my Roman numerals. I don't think I could have figured out XLVI is 46, as in this year's Super Bowl. I think I was born in MCMXLIIV! But I'm not positive.Was...

I like to pretend I'm a tolerant person, but I'm really not. And I'm not too patient, either. No surprises to most of my readers. I understand we all have differences of opinion, likes and dislikes. B...

I hate calling it "cabin fever"--being cooped up. It's just that I need to GET OUT OF HERE!!!I mean the winter hasn't been too bad--little snow and not sub freezing. But, it's cloudy and gloomy EVERY ...

Sunday morning--cold, windy, white (4"). Good day to stay indoors. Football games and leftover chili. Good combo.I finally opened the jar of chili sauce that Jon(dude) gave me last October. Been savin...

I didn't watch the republican debate last night, but I saw Newt's explosive retort to John King's "appalling" question to lead things off. You know what? I applaud Gingrich! I would never vote for him...

Wasn't it Cole Porter, a Hoosier, that wrote the song "Night and Day"? Well, a long 24 hours just passed by.It started (yest) with a visit to my father (Arthur). Yes, he was wearing the same old grung...

I gotta live with them both--the two Arthurs. They won't go away. Sometimes, they're a pain in the butt. What are you gonna do?I suffered all night with the first "arthur"--arthritis. It's in my thumb...

I'm thinking about dropping one thing from my greasy profile: my home state. I'm so ashamed of Indiana. I'm a man without a state, or so I wish.Just yesterday, a Superior Court Judge ruled in favor of...

When I noticed today was Friday the 13th, I checked the calendar for future similar days and discovered we have three of them this year! The other two are in April and July. Very rare occurrence.If yo...

Despite my solitary lifestyle, I don't exclude myself from the rest of the world.I read the newspaper, watch television, go online, listen to the radio, get out of the house, etc.However. I'm cognizan...
