BACK IN THE SADDLE

Longing for the new scarf

That clicking you hear in the background is my wife’s knitting needles.

Caution: Column is contagious?

Maybe this column should be sprayed with Lysol before reading any further.

Back to school

At least the professor can’t call on me.

Geographic memories

Sometimes it seems as if I have a whole, separate geography stuck in my memory: Places that used to be but now have disappeared, existing only as ghosts.

Trip not in plans this spring

The email was from my friend Bill Wilson.

Making it his 'home'

Along with “fiscal cliff” and “sequestration,” the most overused expression of 2013 has to be “man cave.”

Technology has us in a rush

The Jay School Board’s recent discussion about changing the high school’s cellphone policy had me feeling old.

Booms in the night

Apparently, I’ve reached that stage in life when I’m hearing things.

The blink of an eye

The thing about clichés is that they get to be clichés because they’re true.

ESPN of the era

Okay, so maybe we were paid with something more than Cokes. But not much more.

Surviving or thriving

Maybe I should have been red-shirted.

Blown away by the story

One thing about writing a column is that if you do it long enough you start repeating yourself.

A milestone for the demographic

“Well, it’s happened,” my wife said one recent morning at breakfast. “Take a look. I don’t know any of these people. Do you?”

Relieved it's over

They don’t teach you this stuff at Mom and Dad School.

Fooled again by squirrels

It is now official. I’m dumber than a squirrel.
