Our family zooms every Sunday night. By ‘Our Family”, I mean my sons and their wives and me. Last week we all agreed that the traditional gathering around the yuletide tree and beaming at each other on Christmas Eve just wasn’t cutting it anymore. We need something different. Last year with did an Amazon Christmas, […]

WHAT IS COLOUR? Yellow is a sunny morning, sweet as pineapple, creamy as vanilla ice cream. It lives in the tropics and smells of sweat and coconuts. In a church choir it’s the soprano voice heard over the chorus. Blue is a dip in a waterhole. Despite its bitter taste, it’s refreshing as the ocean’s

I love Pittsburgh in the summer and fall. This is where I grew up and once you are a Pittsburgher, it never leaves your genes. And your Pittsburgh accent never changes, no matter where you travel. For 10 days I visited my son and his family in Peter’s Township, just outside of the city. I

I’m on pickleball with the above time line. And if I remember to avoid running backwards, death will be stalled a few more years. My very first game was two days ago. Unfortunately, it was also one of my fart days when I pass a lot of gas; putt putt putt. Subtle but smelly. I

I decided to go to DSW but it is permantly closed. Good thing I looked on web. Can’t return two things to Amazon until my debit card is replaced. Lost debit card; locked it; ordered new one; have to wait a few days. I just ordered a new phone wallet from Amazon as I noticed

Yep, another one. I’m 82 this year and it was a fun birthday. It started of with a luncheon with 3 friends at a waterfront restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. The best surprise was when one of the ladies wrote a very warm, heartfelt poem which described me. I was touched. It was so considerate. And,

I learned a lot about Fort Lauderdale today. All incidental stuff but things that will make me ‘belong.’ Number 1. Women, young or mature, do not wear pantyhose with dresses. Regardless of condition or appearance of legs, they are bare. Legs can be viened, knobby, fat, skinny or just plain unattractive, but they are always

I’ll go to my grave not knowing how to work my TV. Even with the remote, I have no control over either the channels or language. For instance, last night I watched 4 episodes of Project Runway, a show I enjoy because I love beautiful clothes. Tonight I spoke ‘Project Runway’ into the microphone and
