Let’s get something straight. I’ve written several blogs about “Bachelor Cooking,” where I try to cook or boil or microwave some edible foodstuff. And we all have a good laugh (you know, every time my recipe says to use Kosher salt, but I never use it). Then it’s on to the next blog. Well, for…

COVID-19’s getting too close for my comfort.
Before I start today’s blog, please do me this small favor and wear a mask, socially distance, use hand sanitizer, and get the vaccine as quickly as you possibly can. COVID-19 is the modern equivalent of Russian Roulette. Okay. I’m seeing too many of these stories on my Facebook feed, from too many of my…
Read MoreWalking away from a new camera purchase.
It was available and it was tempting. Very tempting. I had an opportunity to purchase a Mamiya medium format Universal Press camera, which would have allowed me to use 120 rollfilm with the same feel as if I was shooting with 35mm film. And it also came with removable backs, which meant I could load…
Read MoreL.L. Bean is now off my personal “do not shop” list.
It took four years and a Presidential election, but I have finally ended my L.L. Bean boycott. This blog post explains why I initially went on such a boycott.

Read MoreWhy am I not nervous this time?
I don’t like hospitals. And I hate medical procedures. My last memories of loved ones are in hospitals. And every time I go under the anesthesia, I worry if this might be the time when I go from St. Peter’s to Saint Peter. So why, in the name of all that’s holy, am I not…
Read MoreSo I’m wearing a mask…
In one of his daily briefings, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo grumbled that it’s hard to get some people to wear face protection when they go outside. Social distancing, and all. So one of his daughters asked if there was a way to get people to wear masks – by encouraging those who DO wear…

Yesterday, I wrote a blog post about those cretins and cruds who would disrupt and take advantage of others during this COVID-19 war. It’s the equivalent of the old “war profiteers” who hoarded vital supplies and the jacked up the prices to sell them to those in need. Ugh. Today, I want to share a…

This won’t be a very long blog post. But it is an important one. Yesterday, I offered five of my artworks to you, my wonderful blog readers, with the proviso that you could receive an artwork if you donated $50 or more to your local food bank or pantry. Food banks and pantries are under…

With the COVID-19 pandemic raging throughout the world, families are working from home, students are tele-learning from home, and those who live paycheck to paycheck are discovering their paycheck isn’t going as far as it once did. They’re relying on food banks and other charitable organizations to…
