It Just Doesn’t Matter
I went looking for something good to watch this morning before the second day of the basketball tournament started. I scored big time as "Meatballs" was one on of the…
Stick to What You Know
Daylight Savings Time started on a very bad weekend for us. We had an morning commitment on Sunday, which meant we had to get up earlier than usual the day after we lost an hour of sleep.
To try and help everyone get through the day, I suggested a trip for coffee and donuts after church.
As we sat at Dunkin’ Donuts enjoying our breakfast, I heard something very strange as someone else placed their order.
They ordered pizza. Or a flatbread sandwich. I don’t know which, but I had seen signs advertising both in the store. That had totally flummoxed me.
What is the world coming to when you go to a donut shop for pizza?
Fit to be Tied
I went to work one day a few weeks ago in a Maria-approved outfit. I don’t always have my wife sign off on what I wear, but this particular shirt and tie combination worried me the first time I wore it, so I got her OK.
I had worn the same thing a bunch of other times without incident, but I happened to see some female co-workers at lunch. Let’s just say they found my attire less than acceptable.
“What are you wearing? Did your wife see you before you left the house?”

Slamball Returns
I remember sitting in the library in college once when Andy Salverda came up with a wonderful idea. See, Andy was pretty tall and could dunk a basketball, if I…
Getting Old Sucks
I like to think that I will never outgrow my immaturity. I only masquerade as an adult because it pays the bills. I try to spend as little time as possible as a grownup.
Working at a college has helped with that. Sure, the job requires pretending I have evolved beyond my teenage years, but I get plenty of opportunities to hang out with students and remember why my college years played such an important role in my life.
Unfortunately, one of those opportunities recently reminded me that I can only cheat the calendar for so long.
Listen Up, Priscilla
About a year ago, fans of "Scrubs" like me just assumed the show would wrap up its sixth and final season and live in reruns for a while. Not only…
Give Me My Fast-Forward Button or Give Me Death!
The problem with technology is that someone always tries to exploit it for evil purposes. The villain this time is ABC. The network has reached an agreement which will allow…
