Normal, it would seem, at least for now, involves a pair of blue gloves when you make a visit to the bank.
Normal also involves a couple of rather important words: “social distancing.”
Normal involves being screened by answering a series of questions about your life and health when you make what...
This week, we’re going to talk a little bit about February coming to an end, unexpected things which happen on The Journey Through Life and a vaguely remote connection with Tom Brady.
February came to an end over the weekend. This year, we were even lucky to have one more day in the shortest month...
So...what are you planning to do with your extra day? In case you hadn’t already made plans, 2020 is one of those years which includes a February 29 on the calendar. Seems to come around every four years or so. I believe we call it a leap year.
And, apparently there is a little bit more to a leap...
Isn’t there some sort of rule that says if things are going to break, there will actually be three things that break?
One morning last week, yours truly began the day by stumbling through the usual morning routine, which included making a pot of coffee and a couple of slices of toast for breakfast...
Not all that many years ago, a fellow traveler on The Journey Through Life who, at the time, was toiling at The Paragraph Factory, commented that she did not think yours truly was bored very often.

Sunshine was making a rather rare appearance last Sunday afternoon, so yours truly decided to go for a nice, long walk.
It was either go for a walk in the sunshine or spend some more time on homework. Yes, kids, homework. Think that you won’t have any more homework after you finish school? Wrong....
This all started with what seemed like a pretty simple, maybe even silly, idea, and then quickly ended up going down a rabbit hole. By the way, do you know the name for a group of rabbits?
One day last week, your writer, who also takes an occasional photograph or two or three, was looking at an...
Bear with me, folks, as I attempt to wrap up one more loose end left over from the dearly departed year 2019...and share a little bit of a history lesson, too.
Last fall, in November, to be more specific, I motored to Carbondale to hear a presentation about a tragic chapter in the history of our...
The holiday season “officially” came to an end last Sunday evening...with a bit of a sputter. “Officially,” with quotes, looks, well, much more official than just plain old officially, standing there all by its lonesome self.
“Officially” is written with confidence. Because Sunday evening was when...
