Don’t know about you, but I sure spend a lot of time contemplating the past. Not in the sense of what might have been or mistakes that I might have made, but more like reliving things that I had enjoyed. It is a wistful nostalgia that ignores the bad and focuses on the good. You […]

Sitting here at the car dealer getting my inspection sticker renewed on my car and my mind drifts back to my first car, a puke green 1966 Volkswagen Beetle with a moon roof. I know what you’re thinkin’ …. What? This guy is way too cool to have owned such a POS. At the time

Sarcasm has become the primary means of making a point stand out from the herd. It used to be biting satire and witty irony, but sadly, sarcasm seems to have completely overtaken the public discourse. I am just as guilty as the rest, but as with all narcissists with fragile egos, I would like to

Are there certain phrases that irritate the crap out of you? One that I am thinking about today, mainly because I seem to be hearing it a lot is … “You should be ashamed of yourself” or worse yet “yourselves”. Nothing good can come of such a statement. How about “The fact of the matter”?
