Or should it be the long “tale”? Last spring Tim and I lost a long time friend Gordon Findlay. Actually, my friend Rick and I had known Gordon longer than anyone else in our immediate circle of friends. In fact, Gordon had stayed with Rick for a short while before the reality of his situation set in […]
Music conjures up great memories for me at all times of the year, but Christmas and music are tangled together just like a string of twinkling lights. George’s link for Chris Butler about favorite Christmas music got me thinking about some of my favorite Christmas music. Actually, the list is almost endless. One carol begets another carol, […]
I caught a snippet of the glitch that caused double billing to some Giant Eagle customers if they had the misfortune of shopping for groceries on December 14th last evening on TV, but learned more from the on-line Crain’s Business article today.

Today when I signed on to gmail, I checked out my google page for the temperatures I keep track of throughout the country, and then, my eyes were drawn to the sidebar […]
For quite some time now the question of “what is a blogger?” has been swirling through the blogosphere. Is a blogger a journalist? If not, who or what is a blogger? The comparisons to traditional journalists abound, but none of the defiinitions that other bloggers and journalists have offered seemed to fit me. Now, if […]
Tim and I have had some of the most interesting conversations at the #79 Bus Stop at the Corner of Ontario and Superior . Saturday was no exception.
