The year is 1983 and Cheryl and I have a brand new Jeep Wrangler. It was nimble and could make fairly tight turns and claw its way up some pretty tough hills when one was feeling fearless or stupid. Not much of that is important to the tale I tell. I don’t recall what Utah
A friend of mine whose name is Richard or Mike sent me an email. I think he goes by Mike because he did not want to be called Dick. The contents of said email are shown below. While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.

WALKING ON THE GRASS The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands. The instructor said, “Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft
FOR THOSE OF US WHO REMEMBER These great questions and answers are from the days when Hollywood Squares’ game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are now!

The operation required that
In high school, I was president of the Drama Club and one year we put on a British play, my brain is scrambling to remember the name of the play. The story that follows is still funny and TRUE. The play requires a picture of the queen to be on the wall of the set.
I did write a book a few years ago and it opens with this tale of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The book is still available at Amazon and a few other online stores. Even WH Smith in the UK used to have it! I was six years old; the year was 1953 and
We hosted a dinner party for all our friends, some of whom we hadn’t seen for ages and everyone was encouraged to bring their children along as well. (Sorry, if you were not invited.)
