God rest you merry, Gentlemen.
Everyone who reads English, and especially everyone who writes English, knows the importance of a properly placed comma. Several years ago I picked up a book on the topic of punctuation, very cleverly titled Eats, Shoots & Leaves. The cover shows two panda bears. One of them is on a
Christmas movies — and a Christmas present
My wife just bought a Christmas tee shirt. It’s red, and the front is decorated with red and white and green and yellow icons from Christmas movies. See if you can figure them out. How did you do? Great, I’m guessing, which means you know a lot about Christmas movies!
Outside of time
I suppose you noticed that Christmas is coming. We know it, too, and unless we want people to say, “The Grinch must live there,” we need to start decorating for Christmas. But our calendars are full of other activities. There was Thanksgiving, there are meetings, there are events, there was
Show me the way
Being a golfer, I’m interested in almost everything that has to do with the game. From the history, to the players, to the events, to the courses — it all fascinates me. Beyond the challenge of playing it well, golf has an amazing cast of characters. Sometimes those characters have
A Bad Choice That Was Thought To Be Good
Last week I wrote about “men without chests,” people of all ages and both sexes who lack an important tool in the decision making process. Why they lack this tool is, at least in part, a mystery to me. As the philosophers would say, I can posit an answer. That’s
Men Without Chests
A gut feeling Have you ever had a gut feeling about something? Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a fictional character on the show NCIS, had “gut feelings” almost every week. And his gut was amazingly accurate. Whether or not your gut is as good as Gibbs’ gut, I’m guessing you’ve
Make America Good Again
I’m a MAGA guy, with one tiny — but very important — modification. Instead of saying Make America Great Again, I’m campaigning to Make America Good Again. I know, I know. You’re thinking, “Why didn’t you get into the presidential race? That “good” thing is something I could get behind
What are you searching for?
Search: it is an extremely big deal in almost every world you can name. Science? Yep, searching for other worlds (SETI Institute, etc.), reasons for black holes, and far more. Medicine? Of course. There are searches for cures for dozens and dozens of illnesses. Big Pharma is with them. Athletics?
More salt, please.
Do you know who tells you to cut back on salt? That’s right, your doctor. And not just your doctor, doctors everywhere of almost any kind. I’m pretty sure they’ve modified the Hippocratic Oath to add a “no salt” clause. Give me a minute to look. OK, I’m back now,
The Future of America
You may not feel the need for an article like this. It could be that you have decided not to vote at all in this election, which is just over two weeks away. Or it could be that you’ve decided how you’ll vote and nothing will change your mind. But
A gentle breeze
Jose, one of my friends and colleagues, is a nominee for Do Good Citizen of the Year. And so are hundreds of other volunteers who have collectively spent thousands of hours over the last week helping hurricane victims in North and South Carolina. In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s terrible
When Israel got it wrong.
I am not a historian by trade or training, but here is something I believe about history. Every country that is on this earth has some horrible things in its past. England, the United States, and several European countries have slavery in their past. (So do many other countries, of
