Pals are the Best When They Are Penpals
Did you have a PenPal? I ask you this random question not because that's what I usually do. I pose this question because June 1st is National Penpal day. I vaguely remember that I did have a Penpal when I was in elementary school back in the 80's. I think the ...
The New York Mets Go To Arizona To Play Against A New York Kid
Nothing new for the Mets this season as on Sunday the NL East First Place team had another game rained out. They will pay for it later with the ridiculous amount of doubleheaders on their schedule, but yesterday it may of helped a little. Th...
Road Trips Have Drastically Changed But Some Things Stay The Same
The Friday before Memorial Day is known as National Road Trip Day. Oh Boy, have road trips changed. Today's vehicles usually provide a smoother ride with air conditioning. Maps used to be the norm. I am talking about the ones would take up the entire front seat. The biggest diffe...

Birthdays Never Go Out Of Style
I Love Birthdays and I always will. I am now 45 years old and even though I am officially old and will never get any younger, Birthdays will always make me smile. I know some aren't big birthday people. I know others that treat it like any other day as they get older because they don't like to be reminded of their age.
I fall int...
Are Church Mice Really That Quiet?
Joking with my son the other day, I commented how quiet I am when I get sick and unfortunately throw-up. That was a joke because I am embarrassingly loud when I vomit. So Aiven retorted with "yeh, quiet as a church-mouse." That got me thinking, why are church mice quieter than any other mouse? Do the...
To Do Or Not To Do?
Has your sink ever looked like this? Dirty dishes piled up to the point where you aren't entirely sure if there is still a sink there. I bring this up because it is National No Dirty Dishes Day. The other adult in the house will make sure there are no dirty dishes as she is basically washing the dish when I am still using it. She is like ...
