I am always amazed by readers. You guys and gals are what makes the world go ‘round and round. And, sometimes the world spins so fast, my head swims. I find interesting what will get your attention and what does not. I could write about a very serious issue, calling on all readers to take […]
Hygiene. It is an important part of living well in society. There are the basics like, you know, brush your teeth, comb your hair, wash your face, bathe and then there’s the not-so basic, like keeping your finger and toenails, neat and trim. And, while you ladies may not get this, awesome, toot-sweet cleanliness and […]
So, there I was on the couch — actually kinda excited – because this would be my first time. My first time voting via Absentee Ballot. I have spent the last, what 18 months, reading and listening to and about those who would be president of these here United States. I have spent a fair […]
The 2016 presidential election candidates are terrifying, and while I know Halloween is less than two weeks away, I try to imagine growing up in such scary world without scary movies.

So, there I was one recent, hot, humid day not too long ago. Standing, with my arms behind my back looking out the window, way up there from my Ivory Tower in downtown Clarkston. Looking out and surveying town, watching all the little people scurrying about their daily lives on the bustling street known as […]

I think you readers should feel pretty darned lucky you don’t have go down the old rabbit hole of my mind when I start thinking about writing another Don’t Rush Me column. I start with an idea and soon the synapses (or would that be synapsi?) start firing. Left, right, up, down, forward and back. […]
