I realize that there are television shows that show real live matchmakers that are working in the 21st century. Unfortunately, most of us are not independently wealthy and cannot afford that cost with today’s ever higher spirally cost of living. I resorted – guess I definitely need an attitude adjustment, eh? – to online personal… Continue reading Matchmaking in the 21st Century
I swore yesterday that I don’t watch videos often. Seems that the new ones coming out have caught my attention more than normal. I am a country fan. I have never watched American Idol. I have always loved the song “This One’s for the Girls” that Martina McBride sings. This morning I listened to and… Continue reading Video Alert
I am sure that eating local will be the topic of many blog posts for me. I read a wonderful book about eating local by one of my favorite authors this summer. This is not the only thing that has made me think that eating local is best. As I sat watching the local news… Continue reading Eat Local

The above is an excerpt from US President George W Bush’s comments on August 11th from the Rose Garden.

Have you ever thought about the statement – don’t eat anything you can’t pronounce? I guess high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) doesn’t apply. All words are easily pronounced. My recent thoughts are don’t eat anything that takes multiple syllables to state what one or two will cover. HFCS is basically a sugar and is not healthy.… Continue reading High Fructose Corn Syrup
Back in July, I was reading the blog of one of the local newspaper’s education reporters, George Basler. This particular blog post was regarding the effect high diesel fuel costs was having on school budgets and, subsequently, the education of our children. About 12 days later, I was reading a Reuters article on Yahoo! that schools were… Continue reading Fuel Costs and Education
While I am not heading out on Saturday morning, my 14 year old son will take off with his father and his father’s girlfriend (not sure what the proper/PC word is) for Bike Tioga. Bicycling and Boy Scouts are my son’s things. Having grown up in Tioga County, I love the rolling hills and scenic… Continue reading Bike Tioga
Believe it or not – and the local weather guy thinks we will have weather to believe it in the upcoming days, summer has only six weeks left. That means many different things to many different people – back to school, cooler weather, my birthday (just had to slip that one in), the Perseid meteor… Continue reading Summer Waning
