‘The only thing worth stealing is a kiss from a sleeping child.? That’s one of those good-feeling ‘anon? quotes, to which I add: Few things are more warming than a peek at baby in a grocery cart being pushed mid-mornings by its young mother, saying smiling greetings to that baby and having them smile and […]
This weekend started out great — but by the time the Detroit Red Wings finished skating up and down the ice in Calagary (1 a.m., Monday) two ugly feelings festered up and into my consciousness. I guess I felt some guilt and a little old. Old and guilty, why? Why indeed! The weekend was good. […]
Yikes. Who woulda? thunk a simple little column about the changing times, riding bikes and wearing helmets, would have brought so much mail. I guess I am doing my part to educate the community on this very important issue. First, let me say to some: relax. My boys, were they ever allowed to ride on […]
In years past I have gotten all mushy when talking about the wonderfulness of moms. I still am thankful for my very own and for Jennie, mother for Shamus and Sean. The boys are very lucky they have Jennie to balance out the goofiness I bring to the parenting table. That said, I figured 2007 […]

Hey, it’s been a short week, with the holiday and all coming on Monday. That said, this is the perfect time to once again dip into ye ol? mail bag. More perfecter (I know that’s not a word, but this is my column) was this e-mail and picture I got from Tony Pierce. Wrote Tony: […]
When I hear a sentence starting or ending with, ‘back in the good ol? days,? I automatically roll my eyes. I can’t help it, it’s instinctive. And I can honestly say the muscles that control my rolling eyes are ripped. They’re taunt and buff. They get exercised like no other muscle in my body. Longing […]
The other night, as the 11 o’clock news watched me, I slipped back and forth into the foggy world between sleep and entering a coma. Despite my comatose state, the anvil, hammer and other tool-like bones inside my ear trembled and made sound patterns that imprinted onto my brain. ?—– skeletal remains — —– woman […]
