Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Mary, over at MaryJMelange.com left a comment on my post on Monday. She mentioned how she and her ex had different definitions about what makes a good Mac & Cheese dinner. Mary preferred the more traditional version, you know, the kind made with macaroni and cheese, while her ex preferred Kraft. The blue box. The... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, I published a post about Random Thoughts, one of the attributes mentioned on the tag line. Life Lessons is also mentioned in that tag line. Well, the past few weeks have given us all the opportunity to learn more about ourselves. Many people have written about these lessons, about what they’ve... Continue Reading →
All the stores identified as offering groceries around here, Costco, Stop & Shop and Target are allowing people 60 years old and older the chance to shop early in recently stocked and disinfected stores.

Last week, when I was being cynical, Jennie left a comment in which she suggested that the erosion of news began with the CBS show “60 Minutes.” I told her that she reminded me of a story about that show, and she encouraged me to share it. Note: I’m not blaming Jennie if you don’t... Continue Reading →

It’s time for Linda G. Hill’s world-famous Stream of Consciousness Saturday exercise, and today we have an example of what happens when you don’t follow the rules. Linda asks us not to plan too much. I bent that rule by deciding on the underlying topic ahead of time (see title). Linda threw me a curve... Continue Reading →
