Growing Pains

I have an 8 month old grandson named Madden. While their house is being renovated, Madden and his parents are living with my wife and me.

Party’s Over – Now Get to Work!

Whew! That was fun! The ICA show, I mean. And by “fun” I mean, man, I’m glad that’s over for another year.

Old School or Old Fool?

I’ll admit it. I’m old school. I still wear a flat top haircut. I’ve been with the same beautiful woman for 34 years. I say “yes ma’am and no sir” when addressing folks of all ages. I buy American whenever I can; I consider my word as my bond and in the order of importance […]
