Let me say this about that. “People say believe half of what you see, oh and none of what you hear …. “ This line is lifted from the 70′s Gladys Knight & the Pips hit “I heard it through the grapevine”. And in today’s blizzard of communication media spawned by the internet, truer words have […]
Let me say this about that. Every year since 1948, the folks at Gallup Polls have conducted a survey to determine the people most admired by Americans. The results of their latest poll was published recently in USA Today. According to the good people at Gallup, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin are in a virtual tie as the woman […]
Let me say this about that. I have a number of old friends who are, as a lot, pretty positive on life. They’re convinced that “the glass is half full” and seem to enjoy smelling the roses conveniently planted along the road of life. They make lemonade out of any lemons that come their way, whistle-while-they-work, and […]
Let me say this about that. Since my retirement, Mrs. Shambo and I have made a habit of spending at least one month/yr. outside the United States. It’s fun, it’s exciting and it’s educational. Just like the man who can’t “see the forest for the trees”, you really need to get out of America once in […]
Let me say this about that. This is the time of the year when every newspaper columnist or TV talking-head lays out their predictions for the upcoming year.

(Please enjoy this Classic LMSTAT while Shambo enjoys the Holidays!) Let me say this about that. Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m a drinking man. In my little village, cocktail hour is that sacred time of day when you can kick-back, shoot the breeze with neighbors, and have an adult beverage of your choice. My drink of choice is what I […]
Let me say this about that. Actually, this is one time I’m not going to say anything. I simply could not add any value to what these great modern American philosophers have to say. […]
Let me say this about that. I got sick of watching network news the other day, waiting for the college basketball scores and decided to try to find them on the internet. It didn’t take long – and network news was still on so I busied myself with a little web surfing. I ran across a couple of […]
Let me say this about. If there was ever a phrase that describes how I live my life, it would be: “Hell, I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.” I must admit to an occasional spat of whining – I often decry the injustice I see in this world – I bitch when my […]
