The Day Ahead

Here’s a look at the day ahead for me: Got a call at work on Monday telling me the laundry room was flooding. Rushed home, shut off the water, examined the carnage. As I suspected, and feared, our water heater that is (was) older than Dick Clark had decided to pull a Julian Assange and … Continue reading

A Brand New Me

I mentioned on Saturday that, “I am even more of a Geezer today” and I hinted there would be more later. It’s later. You see, I turned 56 on Saturday. I didn’t run out and buy a new Testerossa (not that I could afford the key fob for one. Besides, a classic Mustang or ‘Vette … Continue reading

Pray For Me

It’s the day after Thanksgiving — Black Friday. I have to go to the store. Not for any great bargains, but to get cat food, dog food, milk, shampoo, etc. This shouldn’t take long. On a different note, Happy Birthday to the next Senator from Florida — Adam Hasner. Well, here goes nothing. Pray for … Continue reading

Just To Let You Know

I did get Up Before Dawn yesterday morning, fully intending to find some good posts for the First Cup. Well, it just didn’t work out that way.

Changing Routine

It’s that time of year again — School Time! During the summer I could sleep late and leave for work as early as I wanted. Of course I usually waited until the last minute so I didn’t end up with overtime. Still, I could have left earlier, if I had wanted too. The biggest challenge … Continue reading

I’m Getting Smarter

The title of this post will come as good news for my readers. I am joining the maddening crowds today as I get my first smart phone. I’ve had really dumb phones, not very bright phones, and box of rocks phones, but today I join the Smart ranks. You would think that a geek like … Continue reading

Don’t walk a mile in my shoes

First things first. I am a pudgy old man. I’ve long since stopped trying to deny either fact. Old there’s nothing I can do about, and honestly I wouldn’t want to try. In my mind, I’m still in my thirties (I used to say my twenties, but I’ve moved on there as well), but my … Continue reading

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you. When you’re an Irish Lad growing up in the north east, St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal, even if your family isn’t Catholic. My ancestors on my father’s side are mostly from Ireland. My 3rd great grandfather, John Lynch, was a graduate of the University of … Continue reading
