Because I’ve always rooted for the American League in All-Star and league championship baseball games I’m prejudiced. And I see nothing to be gained by having the leagues play each other during the summer. The Pittsburgh Pirates were in Comerica Park recently to play the Detroit Tigers. Some friends bought tickets to see the Tigers […]
We’ve heard it from our mothers, grandmothers and even the pulpit – Never Go Grocery Shopping On An Empty Stomach! But, did we learn? No!

The first year Hazel and I were married, she worked as a clerk in an Owosso factory. I commuted to East Lansing to college. With no school homework, I had lots more idle time than Hazel. I took up doing (what, in my youth, was considered) woman’s work around the house. You know — cooking, […]

I’m a occasional quoter of Gumperson’s Law, which is probably interchangeable with Murphy’s Law, McGurk’s Law and your own law.
