He went to an all-boys' school and never got any practice in having conversations with those other young people called members of the opposite sex. He was convinced that all the other boys knew how to talk to girls-everyone but him. Though he was... More..

"Honorably Discharged?" It is too bad that Dan Rather lost his CBS Anchorman position because of poor journalistic ethics: the subject matter of his news story got buried, even though it was The Truth. George Bush's "military service" as a member of the Texas National Guard was not, as he so often claims, "Honorable." I know... More..

Parting moments Pass quickly Too quickly And yet it's easier To have them fly away And be gone Always to be remembered Like hands stretched out Fingers barely touching And then touching Not at all Nothing to be said Ever again Because There's simply Nothing remaining Unbelievably To be said Sad Like the end Of a bluesy jazz ...

Show and Tell: My Lunch with Marci at Burger King I was really surprised when my seven-year-old daughter, Marci, chose Burger King over McDonald's for our Saturday afternoon lunch together.

Boy Genius ! Several years ago, I created a spread-sheet system for keeping records of my monthly bills and payments. Every month, I make up a new spread-sheet based on the previous month's; when I receive and pay bills, I record the dates and payment amounts.
