Lethargy

Is it because it is Monday? Or because the fall colors and frost advisory remind me that winter is coming? It isn’t that I dislike winter – but I am not ready for it. On Sunday morning, with the temperature two degrees Celsius, I still went out in shorts to do an errand. Is it […]

A Random Thought

Let me know if you are able to do it. So far it hasn’t worked for me. That may be because my sense of humor peaked when I was about 16.

Rules of Grammar

There are always exceptions. That’s what makes English so fun. Or should that be frustrating?

I remembered of this cartoon last week when reading the obituaries in my local newspaper. As is customary, it was mentioned that one woman had been predeceased by her parents, […]
