If you spent any of your childhood at any beach you probably made a sandcastle or two. If you are a parent who took your children to the beach you probably made a few more than that. Making sand castles was never my strength. Give me a bucket and shovel and I can make a […]
We’re all too busy, or so it seems. The word busy is my go-to when people ask me “How are you?” For I am always busy; there are always tasks that need to be done. At times I feel a little guilty about that. After all, for some people busy seems to be a bad […]
Yesterday’s post about television advertising brought back some memories. Many years ago I remember seeing American TV ads for something called Rogaine. With Minoxidil (or so the ad stated). It sounded great, but nowhere in the commercial was it stated just what the drug was for. And I had no idea what either Rogaine or […]
I may have mentioned that I don’t watch much broadcast television. Too busy with other things to have my life revolve around a schedule I can’t control. Not to mention that I don’t find many of the shows appealing. On vacation though, things are different, the rhythms of life take a different pattern. Not to […]

I live across the street from a multiplex cinema. That means I see very few movies. I know that doesn’t make sense. The easy access should mean I would see more movies. My intentions are good, but something always comes up and the film I want to see is long gone by the time I […]
