I Thought It Was Funny
My son Stephen was getting ready to wash the dishes, so he asked me “Where’s the sponge?” Without missing a beat, I responded “In a pineapple under the sea.” It took him a few seconds to get what I was talking about, but the confused look on his face was priceless. I love being a…

I Want An Ice Cream Sandwich
I want an ice cream sandwich, but not just any ice cream sandwich. I had a great ice cream sandwich back in my freshman year of high school (1981). Most ice cream sandwiches have cake-like wafers, but this one had crunchy cookie style wafers. I’m not sure how they kept things from getting mushy or…

Another little known fact about me
Another thing that most people don’t know about me is that ever since I started my new job, I fast every Friday while at work. By fasting, I mean that I only drink water and don’t eat any food. I know that some people also don’t drink water in their fasts, but for some reason…

A little known fact about me
A little known fact about me is that unless I am referring to specific albums by Richard Pryor, I don’t use a particular word that starts with the letter N. I’m not saying that I have never used it, but even when I was younger, there were other words I would prefer to use. My…

Netflix Raises Prices
I just received an email from Netflix that says they are changing my current plan ($9.99 for 1 DVD out at a time plus unlimited streaming) by splitting it into two plans ($7.99 for unlimited streaming only and $7.99 for 1 DVD out at a time only). I can get either of the new plans…
