[I wrote a bunch of stuff while I commuted between Connecticut and NYC back in the 80s. I thought, just for grins, I would start posting a few selections. ] Another unspoken rule on the train was to never read your seatmate’s work, at least not while they were still working on it. I recall […]

It is officially July 4th as of 18 minutes ago. Happy Birthday America. I guess I should write about what is right or wrong with America or something about the flag or apple pie or Chevrolet now that America officially owns Chevrolet, but I’m not going to. I want to write about my Tiki Man. […]

Thought the bird might actually be a little more interesting to look at!

[Don’t know the author; got this via email.] A Teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. There were all the regular type […]

Happy Thanksgiving! Yes Thanksgiving, that little sliver of a holiday we used to celebrate in the fall. It once symbolized the harvest season, now it’s Black Friday eve.
