As I type, Cal Ripken, Jr. and Tony Gwynn, Sr. are being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
These two men were phenomenal players, but their off-field actions and attitudes are just as admirable. I find it fitting that there are no other inductees to stand on the podium with them.
It’s a great day for baseball.
My left eye is legally blind. My right eye, not so bad.
After years of hemming and hawing, I finally decided to have LASIK surgery on my left eye. Part of the reason was that I’m now to the age where reading is a problem, and I either need regular contacts with reading glasses, monovision contacts [...]
I have never been “into” clothes. I buy for comfort, fit and price. HS and Mr. B are much the same.
BD, on the other hand, is all about style and labels.
We have had many a battle about what’s appropriate, how much I’m willing to spend, and which stores I will shop in. Those that advertise [...]

Unless you’re living in a cave, you may already know that the countdown is on for the final book in the Harry Potter series.
I am one of the millions who love the books. I can’t, however, claim to have been on board from the beginning. We discovered them along about Book 3. That was when [...]
Let me start with a disclaimer.
Due to nerve damage, Mr. B. (see sidebar for new family nicknames) has very little feeling in his fingers. So it was no big surprise when he asked me to check his pockets today to see if the key to our brand new shed was there.
It was not. He had [...]
Some of you may recall that I work part-time. Lately it has been REALLY part-time, as my boss has been focusing on a second business that does not employ me. I’ve been averaging about two hours. That’s per month.
However, things are starting to pick back up. And to kick things off, a few weeks ago, [...]
