Let me say this about that. How hard is it to simply tell the truth? What is so difficult about coming right out in the open and exposing the bare naked facts? Well, apparently in America, we cannot live without hedging our bets when it comes to exposing the truth about almost anything. We have […]
Let me say this about that. It is the nature of human beings to want to have an explanation for everything – and this character flaw is especially pronounced in America. I suppose the rationale for this bit of arrogance is that we are at the top of the food chain and SHOULD understand the […]
Let me say this about that. I must admit, I am not aging gracefully. Not to put too fine a point on it, getting old sucks. But, as I have remarked in the past, the option to getting old is not one I would like to explore. I am not afraid of death, per se. It’s […]
Let me say this about that. I get to Atlanta five or six times a year. I went to undergraduate school there and still have lifelong friends that live in and around “Hot Lanna”. Everytime I go, I have to make an obligatory stop at “The Bar”. “The Bar” is not so much a specific place of […]
Let me say this about that. Last week, I posted a blog announcing the winners of the 2009 “World’s Toughest Jobs” awards.

There are the complexities of medicare, social security, reverse mortgages, and ear hair. Most of what an old guy needs to know about such things is readily available, but little exists on some […]
Let me say this about that. I keep hearing people whine about how tough their job is. They complain incessantly about long hours, poor workplace environment, even danger. Everyone cannot have THE toughest job, so I set out to find the “toughest job in the world” a couple of years ago. This list became so […]
Let me say this about that. Front page news in a Florida Keys newspaper: “The County Commissioners made it official on Tuesday, when they passed a law making it illegal in the Florida Keys to do anything of ‘redeeming value’. Punishment for this second degree misdemeanor would force the convicted to drink 5 gallons of beer until […]
Let me say this about that. In my post on July 19 entitled “Pharmaceutical Ads” , I suggested that pharmaceutical companies were making up new diseases just to sell their drugs. Since that post, I have been inundated with rebuttals by my loyal readership claiming that I have not done sufficient research into the subject. To prove their point, […]
