The Arizona Department of Public Safety says a state trooper last week noticed a car in a high-occupancy vehicle lane on an Interstate in Phoenix with a “Seusspicious-looking” green passenger. A driver named Sam tried to pass off an inflatable figure of the Dr. Seuss character as a passenger. The Arizona police said they appreciate the “festive …
Last Tuesday I was in a bowling alley with Sparks (the group of learning disabled that I work with) and had the chance to observe several groups of 21 year olds. True GenZ's. Almost everything they were doing was with their smartphone in their hand. Talking, eating, walking but, thankfully, not while they bowled. I wondered if we will ever divo …
I love to laugh. As a matter of fact I still even chuckle at Norman's jokes :). For some reason, in the middle of doing my daily pushups the other morning, I remembered when I had one of those uncontrollable, belly hurts laughs. In my memory of that moment, it seemed to last a half hour but I'm sure it was a bit shorter. I started laughing and e …
While waiting in the lobby of a movie theater, it dawned on me we have a new standard of the fashion accessory...the cell phone. Properly held in one hand while standing anywhere, the cell phone can be covered in a variety of colors to match or contrast your outfit. The color black makes a fashion statement that is classically chic and sophistic …
Winter is just around the corner I need to get the shovels ready, buy some ice melter and prep my snow thrower...or should I?
When you think about it, it’s really astonishing. In early civilization your labors were directly connected to your survival. You worked all day to live.

It's mid October and SpaceX has sent 47 rockets to space and landed the second stage of each on a small drone ship floating in the ocean. They have launched more rockets than all other countries combined. Their goal is 52 this year. SpaceX does this so often it is now common place. I try to watch every launch but there have been so many, it's diff …
This story seemed unbelievable because why on earth would you smuggle snakes in your pants. It left me shaking my head... Calvin Bautista, a 36 year old man from Queens, has been charged with smuggling three Burmese pythons in his pants at a U.S-Canadian border crossing. He, allegedly, brought the hidden snakes on a bus that crossed into northe …
As the remnants of Ian move over the eastern seaboard, I'm reminded by Hurricane Sandy which devastated the south shore of Long Island. The destruction looks the same with boats ending up in people's backyards and houses totally gone. I watch the news reports, the interviews with residents and the utter devastation that Mother Nature brought to b …
As I walked out of the house this morning (Friday) I fell a chill! Something I hadn't felt in, what seemed like, a long time. The cool crisp air was refreshing. My thoughts started to drift towards fall activities...buying a cord of wood to heat the house, pruning some pesky trees and bushes and getting the snow thrower started. With the dry …
It's Saturday...and anything goes.
