Washington, D.C.: First in war, first in peace and last in the American League. For years that was the moniker given to our nation’s capital in recognition of the futility of both iterations of the old Washington Senators who, from ...

Today, Barbara and I will be welcoming “auld acquaintances” who certainly have not been forgotten even though we have not seen each other for many years. In fact, our relationship was such that it would be impossible to forget Lorraine ...

How’s the first week of your New Year going? For me, for some reason, it seems a bit different than others. Maybe I celebrated a bit too much on New Year’s Eve. Must have because I awoke on New Year’s ...

At my age I see many doctors. Cardiologists, gastroenterologists, hematologists, pulmonogolists, ophthalmologists and zoologist (oops, I saw him at Jungle Larry’s). Because my trouble was a pain in my shoulder, I went to see an orthopediologist (a word which I ...

TECO may call itself the “Peoples Gas,” but to me that’s a lot of hot air. TECO certainly is not my “Peoples Choice.” Yes, I refer to the same TECO we all remember so fondly for last year’s extended power ...

It was a recent Thursday morning when I got up at the crack of dawn and quietly dressed, ate some cereal and creeped out of the house. “Where are you going?” my wife, who had awakened in spite of my ...
