Patriarch
Posted By : Fred Klein

As I approach the 3/4 pole I must admit that I am now a/the Patriarch.  A fancy word for "Old Fart".  It snuck up on me as I kept on keeping on and my hair silvered.  "Mr. Klein" was my dad and then, suddenly, it was me.  All of a sudden, seats are offered to me on the subway.  Don't get me wrong, I welcome Senior Citizen discounts and I do enjoy b

I take Juice Plus daily vitamins under the sponsorship of Shelley Simpson. In addition to the health benefits that come in the capsules, there are also mental benefits.    Recently there was a written insert which I thought was quite instructive. The subject was being awesome and it stated "here are three ways to be more awesome.  1. Stop worrying

For me 2016 was a very good year.  Some highlights:  Joanne and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary.  We visited Cuba.  A once in a lifetime, never again experience. Gotham held its best event in it's, about to be, 20 year history; author Tom Rinaldi's Red Bandanna book celebration of Welles Remy Crowther at a Gotham Book Club lunch at the Fr

Bait and Switch

I really really like CVS.  Maybe I'm even addicted.  So much so that I feel for our long term local pharmacy, but how can one resist the avalanche of discount mailers and bonuses that spew out when you pay?Last (Black) Friday I was armed with saved discount chits and slips. I attacked with the plan that the more I bought the more I'd save.  In the

Home Alone
Posted By : Fred Klein

Joanne went to a Film Festival last weekend and left me home alone with Charcoal.  Home Alone:  The prospect was alarming and sad.  I anticipated a pretty lonely experience only highlighted by feeding and walking Charcoal. However, things began to look up when I asked my 2 teen aged grand children if I could take them to dinner and a date was made
