BACK IN THE SADDLE

Gloomy weather brings up queries

The weather’s uninviting, the days are gloomy and the post-holiday questions pile up like calories from all those Christmas treats.

Plan for evening comes into focus

Right now, there is no plan. That’s not unusual at this point.

Anticipation will be less stressful

If Thanksgiving is all about gratitude, Christmas Eve is all about anticipation.

We’ll celebrate together, as family

It’s inevitable, I suppose, that we get a bit sentimental and reflective during the holidays.

Travels included odd musical mix

“Who put this mix together?” asked my wife.

Remembering Thanksgiving over the years

Thanksgiving is a day for family memories.

Weekend was busy with wife away

I don’t do nothing well. That’s not really a double negative. What I don’t excel at is doing “nothing.”

Poet's powerful words still endure

A poet died last week, a guy you’ve probably never heard of.

Wizards always gave best effort

They were, in their own way, almost like wizards.

Route eventually put pinball on tilt

A confession: I nearly lost my job as a newspaper carrier.

Having more is not always better

The movie had subtitles.

Escape from 'jail' came just in time

The email came from one of my sisters.

Books get 'Oprah' recommendation

An old friend asked the question the other day: Why don’t you do your Oprah thing again?

Phone issues cropped up quickly

Maybe my old phone clued in my new phone.

Buzzing the race was a bad idea

It’s been more than 25 years, so the statute of limitations has probably expired. That means it’s safe to tell the story.
