258,959 Miles, R.I.P.
Driving down I-40 at 3am is quiet, dark, and relaxing. As I head into work each morning I catch up on sports and current events on radio as my cruise control keeps me at a steady pace. Last Friday, it was cold in the 20s and I noticed that my heat in the car wasn’t [...]
Eat Like A Pig, It’s Mardi Gras
I took French while growing up. A few things stuck with me, such as the days of the week, Mardi is Tuesday. Others include, gras which is fat, manager is to eat, and grand which means large. Therefore, it has become tradition that Fat Tuesday is a day to eat a large amount of food before fasting [...]
Children’s Medicine Flavors & Food
My family is pretty much a chocolate family when it comes to desserts. I like fruit desserts a lot. Therefore, as you have probably guessed, I don’t get to eat a lot of those at home, I get outvoted! Well it is February, National Cherry Month;thanks George. So I had a hankering for a cherry [...]
Academy Awards Weekend
I see that the Academy Awards are Sunday night. I don’t know how entertaining or un-entertaining the show will be this year. I don’t even know how much I will watch. I will however pay attention to who wins. Why? Because I actually saw one and only one movie that’s been nominated. These days, those [...]
Sleeping Weather
Why is it that on cloudy rainy days, like today, people enjoy sleeping? Either by sleeping in or taking a nap. With my schedule, I take an afternoon nap rain or shine. But today, I am looking forward to the siesta even more. I guess the dull sky might convey the nighttime to some folks [...]
Handicap Parking Rules
I was only inside the building for less than 15 minutes. I was a senior in college and I needed to pick up a blank video tape so I could get my college weathercasts on tape. These were video tapes that were used in professional television stations so the school sold them in their communications building. [...]
Sweet Treats For Valentine’s Day
Candy or cookies, what is the best sweet gift for Valentine’s day? Candy is traditional, but I will tell you some homemade cookies can be great. One of my favorite Valentine’s day gift was some hand dipped heart shaped chocolate covered shortbread cookies. My wife made the cookies and they were great. The neatest thing, [...]
Carolina/Duke
Well, I could only watch the first half of the big game last night, sleep-time called so I could get up for work. It was a back and forth first half and it sounds like Carolina took over in the 2nd half. I am still amazed at the students that wanted to get tickets so [...]
Homemade Potato Salad
With our recent warm spell I started thinking about picnic food. I got a craving for potato salad. Store bought potato salad has so much mayonaise that I wanted to make my own, but wanted it to taste good. I found this recipe and we made it over the weekend. Mmmm good. Boil 2 pounds [...]
English Muffin Burgers
Grilled out over the weekend and had a craving for a juicy burger. Well the meat wouldn’t become a burger unless there was a bun. I enjoy the bun part of the burger just as much as the actual meat. Usually the bigger the bun the better, but I enjoy an english muffin toasted on [...]
