“The hardness of the butter is directly proportional to the softness of the bread.” –The Tao Of Frank. The Trump/Kennedy Center has no “Black History Month” events scheduled. And?

“This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.” –Television weatherman Phil Connors (played by actor Bill Murray) in the movie Groundhog Day.

“Not all chemicals are bad.  Without chemicals like hydrogen and oxygen, there would be no water, a vital ingredient for beer.” –The Tao Of Frank. GOOD MORNING Mary Hazen!

“The 2 most common elements in the Universe are hydrogen and stupidity.” –The Tao Of Frank. I am sick and tired of writing about Minnesota. It is such an awful State, next to Canada, colder than imaginable in Winter, and hot and overrun with mosquitos in the Summer. In 1970, actress Mary Tyler Moore starredContinue reading “JANUARY 28, 2026”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAY BAYS! May today be even more special than all your other special days. I miss you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HOLLAND KOONTZ! What a long, strange trip it has been! Our little girl turns 21 today. Where has all the time gone? She is down in Dallas this morning.
