Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, historian and author of books on subjects from Nazis to pyramids likes to say, “I’m about to go off the proverbial twig.” By which he means he’s about to propose a theory that might sound a little crazy. Today’s blog might be off the proverbial twig, but to me it makes […]
We had a hard winter this year. I live in Georgia, so a hard winter for us was two weeks of below freezing weather and 48 hours of snow on the ground. I loved it! (Not the cold, the snow.) Sometimes I long for the days in Pennsylvania when we got three feet of snow
On January 4th, 2024 singer and actor David Soul passed away. My fellow baby boomers will know he was the blond detective on Starsky and Hutch. The original late 70s TV series, not the Owen Wilson remake.The late 70s and the appearance of Starsky and Hutch conveniently coincided with my high school years. The stars

Here we are seven days into the new year. Seems like 2024 just began yesterday, and here we are in 2025. I gave up on making New Year resolutions many years ago. Does anyone ever keep them, anyway? On the other hand, I do have several goals I want to achieve. I’ve had some difficulty

It’s been my opinion for many years that it’s foolish to even try to travel during the holidays. Have your Thanksgiving meal in July and eliminate the threat of blizzards! I’ve never had to travel far to join my
