Rushing down the highway today, anxious that I would be late to his funeral, it suddenly hit me that, actually, I probably ought to be late. Just a couple of minutes. Sliding into a back pew, gasping for breath, and fumbling in my purse for a pen. Dr. Hazlewood would have expected it from me. […]

I have a lot of friends who are wait-staff. They frequently tell me how much they hate working Sunday lunch, because the church crowd are bad tippers. They speak of people who eat a nice meal, pay the bill, and walk out of the restaurant without leaving a tip. Or, worse, they leave only a […]

The decision earlier this week by the Boy Scouts of America’s National Council to accept openly homosexual boys as Scouts has raised a lot of anger and vitriol across the country. The BSA has been warned to expect a mass exodus of boys and leaders from the troops. I’ve seen Facebook posts from many who […]

I want to add a bit more to my post from yesterday about my experience with doctors. Please understand, I know that there are good, conscientious, respectful doctors out there. My brother is married to one. My headache specialist, chiropractor, and dentist are three more. My new internist, though her wait times are terrible, is […]

This one is for my lady friends only, please. If you are one of my gentlemen friends, please come back tomorrow, because today’s topic is not suitable for mixed company. Like many people yesterday, I reviewed my Facebook home page in puzzlement as friend after friend posted an apparently random colour on her status. I […]

This post is long overdue, because I couldn’t figure out how to write it without sounding like I’m bragging. And I still haven’t really figured it out. So I’m just going to tell it as it comes out of my brain to my fingers, and ask my readers to believe that I’m really and truly […]

Okay, I am really upset, and I am in a quandary. The lack of customer appreciation, communication, and service in even small companies these days is utterly bewildering and appalling to me. And this week’s experience is just another example of how bad — and how stupid — things can get. I love my eye-doctor. […]

You might think it odd that I learned about honesty while taking a vacation, but it’s a fact. My goals for my vacation were fairly simple: Goof off. Read. Hook a couple of rugs. Swim. Body-surf. Sleep. Walk the beach. Find some good seashells. Build some sandcastles. Eat good seafood. Buy a few souvenirs. Other […]

Okay, I don’t care what any of the politicians or their spouses have to say. Nor dishonest singers who fail to keep their agreements. Nor flag-burners and anthem–desecrators — they get no say with me, either. I live in a Great Country. And as Ken Hamblin (the Black Avenger) used to say, “If you don’t […]

Sherri Goforth probably doesn’t want – or need – another person weighing in on her lack of judgment and common sense. Too bad. I’m weighing in anyway. Because her mistake has reflected poorly on my profession, my state, and my culture. Moreover, her “mistake” is illustrative of a larger problem in modern American society – […]
