It is the culinary delights that draw me to our local fair each year. Gyros. Sausage sandwiches. Funnel cakes. Cheese curds. Elephant ears. All working together, churning my digestive tract worse than a ride on the Zipper. Everyone has their own, go-to, chow-down fav. Mine just happens to be….the unassuming, corn dog. The …
I admit to being a tight-wad. A miser. Always looking for the value. Mind you, I’m generous with others. Quick to chip in. But when it comes to buying something for myself? I don’t. Impulse buying is nil. A dressy shirt?…Eh, I have plenty. Cool shoes?…the ones I’m wearing are just fine. And at …
Nuts. People are crazy about nuts. And as well they should be! Nuts are packed with all the good stuff a body craves. Nuts are convenient, plentiful and relatively inexpensive. Way better for you than a chip…plus, now nuts come pretty much flavored just the same. So it’s a win-win. Personally, I love …
You might know someone who is a fitness buff. (You may even be one yourself!) But this is more of a fitness “bluff.” Let me explain. This typically inactive person I know began taking walks (kuddos!) on an infrequent basis. Not every day but at least making an effort. It was a sputtering, hit-or-miss …
It has been nearly a month since I last posted anything on this raggy blog–and I have no excuses for my absense. No vacation. No illness. No dilemma. Just a lack of ideas, plain & simple. Maybe it’s the pressure I put on myself combing for the next ‘killer’ concept. BOOM!–an idea so good …
How does this keep happening? It’s the same mistake year after year. I have cancelled my membership countless times to no avail. Despite all my efforts I still received THIS in the mail… Looks as though I’ll have multiple sclerosis yet another year. At least through 2023 according to the card. But …
Yes, tis the season! We are smack dab in the middle of cash grab season. That time of year when you hear from family & friends you never knew you had. Graduations. Weddings. Showers. Anywhere cake is being served–you are invited and expected to bring a gift (Cash mostly). We get grad …
I feel burned out. Burned out in terms of multiple sclerosis, that is. And I don’t mean being dog-tired of the bummer symptoms. We’re all in that way! I’m referring to the notion that maybe my MS has run its nasty course. The deed is done. The worst is over so to speak. The …
Books have been an escape my entire life. A way to dream. To plan. To learn new things. As a kid I spent hours in the library, exploring endless topics including my favorite animals, sports heroes, even careers. Today I am much the same–I could get lost in a library. So many subjects. Books of …
Artificial intelligence, A.I., is here. It is all around us, spreading faster than a world-wide virus in the 2020s. Machines, especially computer systems, are being programmed to simulate human intelligence processes…to mimic our speech, our thoughts, our writing, even our emotions. Innovative? Yes. Daunting? You bet. Snacks? No thanks, I just ate. With an …
