I can’t get over the news clips from Black Friday. Not just this Black Friday, but every one I can ever remember. This has absolutely no appeal to me whatsoever. I truly believe I would rather go to the dentist and have a tooth filled. People camp out, in all sorts of weather, lining up […]

I’m not a big fan of car racing, and truthfully, it surprises me that I am not. I find that I drive much faster than most people, especially out on the open country roads. Too fast.

  There’s the old joke. Why shouldn’t you write with a broken pencil? Because it is pointless. Some days I don’t have a point here. I simply meander. I think there is a lot to be said for meandering. It is to wander at random, or to proceed aimlessly. You know. To bump around into
