He dedicated the work … Read More »
Foodie. It has become a popular term, ever since Paul Levy and Ann Barr’s book “The Official Foodie Handbook.” They coined the term. What is a “foodie?” Basically, someone who likes food. What? WHO DOESN’T LIKE FOOD? Seriously. Actually, a “foodie” likes to be defined as someone who likes to try different foods, and experience … Read More »
I’m halfway in to work this morning, and realize I left my cell phone (or as they are now called–”smart” phones) on the charger in the living room. Panic. Oh, no, I don’t have my phone. I actually looked at my watch and tried to figure if I had enough time to turn around and … Read More »

Yesterday, the Detroit Tigers completed a 4-game sweep of the slumping NY Yankees, and won the American League Pennant, and an 11th trip to the fall classic, the World Series.

I was watching one of the morning news programs recently, and the story was about some celebrity break-up or something. The program host was talking to someone who was listed on the program as a “Relationship Expert.” Seriously? A “Relationship Expert?” How does one become a “Relationship Expert?” Are there degree programs in “Relationships?” Is … Read More »

Beneath the hawk, on the other side of Liberty Road is a church with a … Read More »
