Let me say this about that. Genny, as she was called by her parents Ed and Pearle, was born in 1923 in Buchanan, Virginia, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. While Ed was a muscular man, standing a few inches over 6 feet tall, Pearle was a short rotund woman whose world revolved around […]
Let me say this about that. Ya know, sometimes the world can be a very dark place. Wars, recessions, terrorism, debt, reality shows - sometimes leave us wondering how we can simply make it through the day. Ever wonder why so few old people have a fear of death? It’s because they believe “….. well […]
Let me say this about that. Oh, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. You have really ‘shat-in-your-hat’ this time. Word has it that your D-I-V-O-R-C-E is final and, as part of the settlement, you have agreed to pay your ex-wife a whopping $700,000,000 dollars!! I’m no economist, but I believe that amount exceeds the gross national product of Bolivia. That dollar […]
Let me say this about that. I was in Key West recently because I had been called for jury duty in Federal Court. Engineers usually are not popular choices as potential jurors because we have a tendency to employ a tool unknown in the legal profession – ‘Logic’. Logic is like ‘Kryptonite’ to a lawyer. Their view […]
Let me say this about that. I have met some pretty smart guys in my time. I even used to think I was pretty smart until I got to know a few of these guys. Smart people, like the fabulously wealthy – ‘are different from the rest of us’ – and operate on an elevated ceriberal plane […]
Let me say this about that. Like most guys, I believe real “spousal communication” is an oxymoron. No matter how hard a guy tries, he is never really successful in achieving true communication with his wife. Why you ask? Because of the “wife-filter”. Whenever a guy says something to his wife, it goes into her ears and […]
Let me say this about that. Announcer: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the finals of the 2010 ‘He said – She said’ competition. This competition pits the best and brightest of each gender in a match of witticisms, quips and comebacks. Each of the preliminary rounds featured one male and one […]
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. It’s a fairly simple formula. Take a keg of beer, add a sunny day with no football on TV, mix liberally with a group of guys with too much time on their hands, and you will eventually produce a discussion of penis size. It’s a formula that has produced the same […]
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. Or, as in the case of a new decade, the coming ten years. And, since most of the established print and broadcast media have the intelligence of fruit, […]
