Travis has gone where no man has gone before and Taylor can’t get enough of it. 

Asphalt can last 10+ years on a street or road in warmer climates and the road isn’t heavily traveled. But if you’re in the northeast or Midwest where there are four seasons and in an urban environment, then you’re lucky to get 3-5 years and then the pot holes appear. 

Those cards were an odd size. Too tall and wide for a standard wallet. The top always got smushed. 

I’ve been on two juries. One was a Federal Grand Jury and the other was a municipal criminal jury trial. The grand jury lasted a month; there were 24 of us and we were presented evidence from attorneys from the Attorney General’s office and asked to decide if there was enough evidence to proceed with case to trial or…

Residents west of the Schuylkill River are unaffected by the spill as well as some areas in the northwest. As the article stated, the amount is very small and the likelihood of being poisoned is remote, but that didn’t stop people from running around like their hair was on fire. My cell phone was blowing up for hours w…

Another method was electroshock therapy. Just as gruesome, but making a comeback, apparently.  

It seems like the best way is to find a few classical stations you like, download their proprietary app, and listen to your hearts content. WQXR and KUSC are the big boys, but KING in Seattle, Minnesota public radio, WETA Washington and WFMT in Chicago are also pretty decent. There are a couple of decent European…

The public beaches in Southhampton, East Hampton, Amagansett and Montauk are outstanding. They are deep, wide with soft, white sand and plenty of room to spread out. The only drawback is some beaches have very limited parking. However, East Hampton has addressed that by offering free shuttle buses from town to the…

The key to successful drinking is to hydrate. Early and often. Start with club soda and garnish every other drink. And if this event with co-workers is going to end with the second coming of Christ, get iced tap water and pound that. You’ll be too full to drink booze. 

Just make a Dirty Girl Scout and call it even.

Cute. But that’s not a rotary phone. It’s a touch-tone phone. I don’t think it’s as old as it looks. It’s a novelty. If it has RJ-41 jacks for the cords, then it definitely is from the ‘80's. 

We have a landline, and a huge AT&T touch-tone desk phone with a bell that will wake the dead. I was home one day from work and every time it rang, which was nearly 3 times an hour, it was always telemarketers. No wonder the cats were so jumpy! So I pulled the plug from the phone jack and plug it back in when…

Put it out on the stoop and see if the cat drinks it.

ED can be brought on by performance anxiety. 

If you go into a bar and order a Manhattan, chances are you will be asked, “Bourbon, Rye or whiskey.” Sometimes, the bartender will skip all that and ask an open-ended question like, “what would you like it with?”

I saw a French film called 13 that was released in 2010. It’s the story of a young man who assumes the identity of a dead man and finds himself the participant in a game of Russian Roulette that is played in front of a bunch of guys betting money on who’s going to be the last man standing. The young man wins, collects…

Just because it’s different than what you experienced when you were “that” age doesn’t mean it’s “wrong”. That can run from cars to TV programming to popular music.

You must be a lot of fun at parties. 

I went to my 40th H.S. reunion and everyone looked so old. Gad. 

Another factor to consider is the cut or trim of the shirt. For example, Brooks Brothers always made shirts that were not tapered so it would hang like a big bag around the chest and waist even if the neck and sleeve were correct.
