Seriously…would YOU watch this movie???
Sitting here in my parents’ living room and a commercial for a new Eddie Murphy movie comes on. The movie is called “Meet Dave” and I am being perfectly honest here when I say…it looks HORRIBLE! What “The Happening” was to horror films, “Meet Dave” looks like it will be the [...]

Last couple of mornings I’ve been waking up to some really strange images in my dreams. I am trying ot figure out what might be causing them. Usually they are related to my family. And the scary thing is they’re violent, horrible dreams. So I would really like them to stop…but I don’t know what [...]

If you hadn’t seen this picture before…now you have, and I have to ask this question…
If you live in Tornado Alley in Iowa, do you get so used to tornadoes that when you see one within a mile of your house, do you run into the living room, grab your Polaroid (or Sony, or Kodak…whatever), [...]

I don’t know about your house, but we got bugs here. Lots of ‘em. Seems like we’re always getting bombarded with bugs these days. A couple of years ago it was the cicadas. Then we had a throng of ladybugs attack our home. This year, apparently the woodlouse has decided to mate in unbelieveable numbers.

OR NOT…
So my wife and kids went to Norfolk, VA a few weeks ago to go to a family members’ wedding. Not a big deal. I used miles to fly them there. But she needed to rent a car once she arrived and she wanted an SUV or something large enough to transport her and [...]

Having worked in the television industry for quite a few years, I want to clear something up. I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one who knows this little trade secret, but it’s something no one wants to talk about and I think it’s time for me to put it out there. I have [...]

Those were the days…
(when they apparently printed things upside down!)
So let me get this straight…postage stamps are going up by 1 cent to 42 cents on May 12th. How many times has this happened in the course of say…25 years? Let’s check, shall I?
