If there is one thing in life that I truly enjoy, it is pissing off pomposity, shitting on the shitters, and lambasting the liars. Perhaps this is why I find it so laughable that Rick Santorum, the man who called Mitt Romney, “…the worst Republican in the country,” is now endorsing the candidacy of Governor [...]

Imagine you’re dead. You went toward the light; you heard the beautiful music; you saw colors you’d never seen before; you’d even learned that there really aren’t any Pearly Gates. As a matter of fact, you had been through the judgment process and found out that, by comparison to many, many others, you had lived [...]
When do we mature?

What does it mean to be mature? Are there certain levels of maturity to which we should ascribe? What is maturity anyway? Well, according to one source that I checked, “Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction. Maturity is patience. It is the willingness to pass up immediate [...]
Watch what you say

Many of us are just too careless in our choice of words. Often, they just flow off our tongues in a fit of anger, joy, or just plain intemperance. We use them to make a point, but sometimes what we say can get us in a whole pile of trouble. Take U.S. Representative John Sullivan [...]

If you read the newspapers or watch television, you might just get the impression that the world is full of really good people or really bad people. There are people we admire and say, “Wow, isn’t he or she fantastic.” There are people we feel sadly for and say something like, “Oh, isn’t that too [...]
Aging without TV

Television sets have many uses. Depending on size and placement, they a great spot for setting up a few Christmas decorations, but make certain they don’t melt…just kidding. On a more serious note, television, when turned on, can be highly educational. It can be a source inspiration, particularly if you’re into those exercise programs designed [...]

There must be something wrong with me…DON’T EVEN GO THERE! However, you are correct; there are a lot of things wrong with me. I’m too short for my weight. I’m follicly deprived; while my teeth are my own, there aren’t all that many left; I can use my surgical scars to give directions to lost [...]

If you’ve read almost any one of these mini-essays, you will realize that I’m a great fan of quotation. Whether they are from ‘anonymous,’ ‘author unknown,’ George Washington, Mark Twain, or Joe Lipchitz around the corner. If I like the quote, it goes into a quotes document. Actually, I have two. One of them is [...]
Weird!

Why do people paint their houses weird colors? Perhaps I’m a traditionalist, but I just don’t find the color pink attractive over an entire Colonial. I’m a great fan of the “painted ladies,” the Victorian homes that highlight all of their cornices and doo-dads with complimentary colors. Newton, Massachusetts is a city where you’ll find [...]
