One morning this week, I woke up with a black eye. How I got it still baffles me. I have my suspicions, of course, but some things are better left to themselves no matter how lonely they may get.
In getting older, I have realized certain things are changing in my body. For example, I now […]
CHRISTMAS CLANGERS
– Collected, compiled and cranked out by “The Quipping Queen” for your amusement and delight –
As the ho ho ho season rolls around, one is reminded of some very wicked words from a few wise men, a smattering of witty women, and a handful of weird wee folk who wish to remain anonymous.

Television programming this season has left me yawning. For astonishing footwork and plenty of leg exposure, ABC delivers Dancing with the Stars. And if that doesn’t suit your Samba, there’s always Skating with Celebrities.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not all that enamored with superstars. And even if I were, I don’t […]

Ace of Base hasn’t seen the sign for quite some time now, but that doesn’t stop the rest of us from doing so. In fact, on a regular basis, I see a lot of signs — and I don’t like most of them. With that in mind, I thought I’d take this week’s column […]
Gary Hemsely was running for some county political position — I’ve forgotten which one now. What I do remember is that he was a member of my church at the time.
Sometimes a pastor can get between the Rock of Ages and a politician without trying too hard. That seemed to be my predicament with Gary. […]
What is it with celebrities and what they name their babies?
Decades ago we had Frank Zappa, who named two of his kids Moon
Unit and Dweezil - but we sort of expect that from a rock star,

Emuukha Rodan and Diva - so at […]
Today I offer some insight into the business world’s conservative but justified stand on appearance.
