Why do I get up at 4:30 in the morning to deliver turkey dinners on Thanksgiving Day? There are reasons. Sometimes I don’t even know the reasons myself, because I’m so busy trying to get ready for this day. So I’m awake. Not by much. But I still have to make sure I have everything…
Read MoreOnce upon a Chance
I’ve heard a hundred different reasons why The Chance and I won’t ever get together. I’ve heard the sympathetic reasons. “You’re too smart, you’ll take all their money.” I’ve heard the encouraging reasons. “There’s only so many spots available, you gotta just keep trying until a spot opens.” I’ve also heard the vicious reasons. “You…

“All right,” said Vincent the tabbycat. “We’re going to settle this once and for all.” “I’m ready,” barked Paisley the pitbull. “I’m going to win this.” “You think so?” woofed Oberon Fortune, the shaggy golden retriever. “They call me a ‘retriever’ because I can retrieve things.

Why I stay with General Motors cars
We all have our distinct loyalties to certain brands or trademarks. And in shopping for a car to replace Cardachrome, I’ve chosen to make some very tough and personal decisions regarding my choice of vehicle. First things first. I’m a single man. I don’t need an SUV, a crossover, a truck or a minivan. I’m…
Read MoreHow to clean a Cardachrome
It’s amazing how much junk you can accumulate in a car over time. And it’s amazing all the places where you can store your junk. Today is the last morning I will spend with my 2005 Saturn Ion Cardachrome. It’s traveled over 124,000 miles, with at least 60,000 of those miles under my control. Before…
Read MoreThe Hamilton “Cool”
Why was the New York Daily News frantically e-mailing me on Wednesday night? It’s not like I was looking for a subscription or anything like that.
