(A reprint from MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 2009) Random Ramblings and Recurring Themes…. (The more things change….) Any time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time! (Mafia Wars, Bejeweled Blitz, Chain Rxn) The only James Bond to me is Sean Connery. Probably the one I least see as 007 is Roger […]

Okay, in sitting down to put together this week’s column, I realized it wasn’t going to be easy! Every so often, there is ‘stuff’ going on, and time is at a minimum, or for some reason, I just don’t feel like it. Today, I just don’t feel like it, but […]

It Wasn’t Bill Gates! (Reprinted from 2011) Usually the email states: “Bill Gates (or another person of note) recently gave a speech at a high school about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of […]

And now for something completely different: Some 40+ years ago, my brother asked me what it was like living in rural New Hampshire. Back when I was unable to find a teaching job in the Flatlands, I found a position in central NH, where I planned to stay for 2-3 […]

So, you want to know what I think? I didn’t think so, but I am going to tell you anyway. This whole election thing is certainly interesting! First, the successes of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are not surprising. People are justifiably angry at the corrupt, rigged system and those […]

     Greetings, and thanks for joining me for another week. I can’t believe it is just about March already! It has been said that life is like a roll of toilet paper – the closer to the end, the faster it goes. So, whoops! Last month, Israeli television journalist Eitam […]

     Greetings, and thanks for joining me for another week. Through the course of some archeological history, one article suggests that sensibilities have changed dramatically. For example, millennia ago it seems that having a stake driven through your skull was not very unusual. I beg to differ. Today cutting someone’s head off isn’t either…. […]

Greetings, and thanks for joining me for another week. For those who celebrate (or buy into one more way ‘they’ has convinced you to spend lots of your hard-earned money on a ‘special day’), I hope you had a Happy Valentine’s Day. By the way, in a related vein, not […]

Greetings, and thanks for joining me for another week. So, it’s down to crunch time in New Hampshire. Our first-in-the-nation presidential primary election (bragging rights) is this coming Tuesday. NH allows voters to maintain a traditional one-of-two party registration or an ‘Undeclared’ status (I would like to see Libertarian recognized). […]
