It’s time once again to look back at the preceding twelve months. 2021 has been a rather interesting year, and as one college professor once told me, “‘Interesting’ is the weakest word in the English language.” Well, I’ll take what I can get on this. So there. And with that in mind, here are ten…

I did a kindness at DePaula Chevrolet.
Update on the condition of Dracourage. Recently, my beloved 2013 Chevrolet Cruze emitted a foul, oil-burning stench. I initially thought it was residual oil that had spilled when DePaula changed the car’s oil a few weeks ago. But the stench festered, and it became so foul that it actually ruined a romantic date. I nursed…
Read MoreBarry Manilow ruined Christmas for me again.
I get it. There are people in the world who appreciate the music of Barry Manilow. I am not one of them. Personally, I think the guy’s so square, he’s divisible by four. He has all the emotional color of beige paint. And this is coming from a guy who was once married to a…
Read MoreThe Canadian Pacific Holiday Train 2021 “At Home” concert, watch it here.
There’s still part of me that wishes I could have seen the train as it made its journey through New York. But this will have to be the next best thing.

Read MoreBreak out the ambient rock tracks and the heart-pulling Christmas commercials.
I guess there’s such a thing as “new holiday tradition,” as our Christmases are now filled with 117 new Hallmark movies (60 of them starring Candace Cameron Bure and 57 of them starring Lacey Chabert), the incessant every-hour-on-the-hour of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” and the manipulation of children by their…
Read MoreThe shameful desecration of a college fraternity Torah
The headline says it all. What happened at George Washington University was disgusting, and whoever the perpetrators were for this horrific crime, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Let me explain. Apparently the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at George Washington University has several members of the Jewish faith. According to…
Read MoreThis is the most hated song in the whole wide world (and you know I’m right!)
In our lives, there are songs that, if I’m being generous, are just plain awful. The composition. The melody. The lyrics. All of the above. These are the songs that you can’t get away from. These are songs that can be used as torture devices. Which brings me to the subject of today’s blog post.…
Read MoreIt’s a camera shutter. It’s not a detonator.
Last week, an American Airlines flight from Indianapolis to New York was forced to make an emergency landing due to what had initially been described as an in-flight passenger situation. Uh-oh.
