Ah, it’s great to be alive! Spring is in the air, the tulips and other spring flowers are up and the weather is warm. New life. Renewal. Family time. Don’t know about your situation, but I do know our little clan has gotten a little closer this spring. Why just the other day we had […]
So, it’s a recent Sunday morning at Casa D’Rush. Two of the Rush lads are up, hair askew, pj’s rumpled, the sleep barely out of our eyes. It’s sometime between 7 a.m. and 7:25, which means the 4,721-day-old Shamus is still sound asleep, the way almost-teenagers are before eight bells ring from the morning clock. […]
I know there is an old saying, cliche or adage that goes something like this: Don’t crap in your own backyard. I reckon it makes sense. If you’re gonna raise a stink about something, it is far more pleasant to do it farther from where you live, than closer. Where you live should be a […]
You might call me Hillary Clinton’s biggest fan. Ever the Hillary Clinton junkie, I keep my ears open for more stuff on the future President of the United States. And just last week . . . boy did I get an earful. Whatever radio station I was listening to on the drive into work played […]
Yikes! With the election only a handful of days away I think I may have finally figured out who I’ll cast my vote for Michigan’s governorship . . . but, as it is a secret ballot, it’s none of your business. What is your business, and a continuing surprise to me, has been the response […]
The brothers Bartle (Matt and Mike) of Mechanic Street in Oxford Village knew the weather was rough. ‘At about 7:45 p.m. we looked up over our house,? Matt said. ‘We saw the clouds swirling and moving. It wasn’t a tornado yet.? Mike grabbed his digital camera he bought a month ago and the brothers hopped […]
For some absurd reason unknown to me, my wife has this crazy idea that I, your hero, Dandy Don Rush, use too many cliches. She has even had the audacity to label me the proverbial, King of Cliche. Come on, Honey. I need another title like I need another hole in the head (United States […]
In case you missed it, last week I scored the governor’s debate. Both candidates, on my score card, earned zero points. (If one is singular, what is zero and should it be points or point? I also wonder which high school English teacher will be the first to e-mail me with the correct answer?) I […]
Republicans are turning a paler shade of white. Democrats are shaking their heads. Political pundits are jumping with joy. Former United States President William Jefferson Clinton has gone and done it again. He smiled, spoke and has got everybody in a tizzy. Two-term presidents, he said, should be able to run for the White House […]
So, like probably 18 percent of the voting population in the Great Lake State, I watched Sunday’s ‘debate.? Though, debate is stretching what I saw candidates for Michigan governor, actually do. Now that I have forever lost that hour of my life (and as I get older, I realize every hour, every moment wasted is […]
