Time to step away from my column
Friday, March 19, 2021 7:52 AM
After much thought, I have decided to take a hiatus from writing my column. Even as I’m writing this, it’s hard to believe it’s been over nine years and 450-plus columns. Before I go any further, I want to thank all of you who have read the column, commented, called and written me about the column. The calls and notes thanking me were appreciated; the comments taking umbrage were actually helpful.

    Where do phrases come from?

    Do you ever think about phrases or sayings we use or hear every day? Do you ever stop to think about why we have continued the tradition and where they originated?

    Find the positives of winter

    Sunday, February 21, 2021 9:47 AM
    Seeing the minus sign in front of the numbers on the thermometer for days in a row has certainly affected my attitude. Then I think how silly that is. I’m an adult. It’s winter. We’ve had many great, tolerable winter days. We need the moisture. What’s the big deal? I have food, clothing, fireplace, working furnace, adult beverages, so I can certainly get through a few days of inconvenience.

    When I heard that George Schultz passed away, I remembered reading something he recently wrote about the importance of trust. I thought I had cut it out, since I still resort to the old-fashioned way of keeping articles and other things of interest. So I went through the overflowing file. Lo and behold I found it. He actually wrote this a couple of months before his passing at age 100.

    As I was sorting through one of my closets, I realized I have too many bags, too many shoes and too many sweaters. We all have fetishes. Mine are the above three. Well, I might have a few more, but let’s leave it there right now.

    Fate is being tempted, if one believes in the many superstitions that have traveled through the ages. Things like tossing salt over your shoulder, not walking under a ladder, knocking on wood, not stepping on a crack in the sidewalk and other things many do or avoid doing – just in case – show us that we are not immune to the fears passed down through generations.

    Most of the “if onlys” have to do with things we wish we could do differently, with the extra help of hindsight. Life never seems to work that way.

    Voting key part of our democracy

    So instead of hand-wringing and worrying about the next few weeks, which has me in a state of perpetual hives, I decided to take a little metaphorical stroll through our relatively short history of elections, party platforms and other campaigns, which can’t come close to the theater of the absurd to which we bear witness.
