And now, for something completely different:

Sultry silent screen era movie star, who was way before her time with her sexuality.


Her 'affairs' make some of today's wild child's seem tame.

... another dream.

This time I'm getting ready to teach a history class at Stanford University.

Although Stanford is a fine school, in reality, why would they hire someone to teach who has no teaching credentials, let alone any experience?

This time I was glad to wake up!

I had a wonderful dream last night and I awoke smiling.

Sometimes dreams can foretell the future, so I won't give you any details lest it not come true.

Yeah, it was that good.

Mookie Betts is gone. David Price is gone. Brock Holt is gone. The Red Sox have a new manager and some young talent moving in to go with established stars.

A lot of questions entering the 2020 season.

I'll still be watching, fingers crossed.

Guys - if this never happened to you, you were either very lucky... or a liar.

I'm not sure if it's because the general mood is to eat healthy or the loss of small 'Mom & Pop' enterprises, but you can't seem to find small candy stores any more.

As a kid, I remember two candy stores in my old neighborhood. They had candy bars, penny candy, cold soda pop and small bags of chips.

When you went to town, stores like Woolworth's and Kresge's (the forunner of K Mart) had candy you could buy by the pound: chocolates (like 'stars' and chocolate drops), jelly beans and other forms of candy you couldn't buy close to home.

Lately I've been craving bon bons & coconut filled chocolate drops. An internet search has dampened that desire. At a bare minimum, simple chocolate drops with vanilla filling goes for $6.00 a pound. Bon bons and coconut filled chocolate drops are a minimum $15.00 a pound.

I guess I'll have to be content eating Mounds bars.

Oh, for a time machine!

Every time I check the weather in London, England it is about 20 degrees higher than the weather here in the midwest.

I'm seriously considering moving there for the winters.
