Wow, was I way off the mark on the last post. I griped about people making a big deal of a strong flu. Well, it turns out its 10 times more contagious and 10 times more deadly. Now, most restaurants and bars are closed. My county just issued a stay at home order. Lil...

If you haven’t noticed our country has gone full-on hysteria mode. I’ve been doing some hunting over the last couple of weeks and the stores look like a hurricane or 100-year blizzard is coming. And not just a few, ALL of them. Now I’m a big headline...

For some reason, the number 2020 seems so much more futuristic than 2019 or any of the 2000’s except for maybe 2000 itself. Even just seeing it in the title makes me feel like I’m in the future. Now that we got here, when is the next major milestone 2030,...

One of my favorite fortunes from a cookie goes as follows, “Everything in moderation, including moderation.” I love this saying. It’s a great rationale for going full bore and for pulling back when things get a little out of hand. My life has pretty...

It’s that time of year again. At least stores want you to think that. Now don’t get me wrong, I am Christmas fanatic. Mrs. McFavorite has tempered things somewhat, as she was never a big Christmas person as an adult. Especially with my birthday several...
