Penny for your thoughts

April 7, 2025

The Hiram Scott College Research Department has done it again. While other “distinguished” universities publish silly research findings about sword swallowing, woodpecker headaches, ovulation cycles of lap dancers, and answering the vital question “Do humans swim …

A very dumb idea

March 31, 2025

I love college basketball, particularly the Wisconsin Badgers. This time of the year, I enjoy sitting and watching all the conference championship games. I don’t mind snacking on pizza, chicken wings, popcorn and such. Until I look down and see my stomach gradually …

What comes after

March 24, 2025

A quote from The Economist supported a strong belief of mine: “What comes after is not always progress.” Maybe I’m just getting cranky in my later years, but here are but a few examples of my love for the good old days. I enjoyed hand-cranking my car windows more than …

Lonely old goat

March 17, 2025

Please let me know if you experience any of these signs of aging. Don’t let me be the lonely old goat in the meadow. I make up reasons why I entered my closet. I notice a shiny nickel on the blacktop in the parking lot and choose not to bend all the way down to …

Jukebox in my head

March 10, 2025

An important portion of my brain has been replaced by a jukebox. Here’s my problem. In the last few months, with no advance warning, songs from my past flip on in my head. I’ll be driving down Carson Street and, without warning, I’m humming “Wake Up Little Susie,” a terrible …

Coated messages

February 10, 2025

I continue to learn lessons from my dogs. Why? They are kind and forgiving. They recognize I am a special-needs student who can’t roll over. Plus, my dogs have much to offer in their HCCC  (Human Corrections Course Catalog).  Jack Carter Newsom, a young, bright professor dog …

Thank you for the many responses to our little contest last week. After much pleasure in reading all the emails that came in, Annie Frances Burke is the winner.   The childhood memories of being brought up in the countryside I shall treasure forever. Mazing through the …

CONNECTIONS… it’s working!

February 3, 2025

It’s been a spectacular success. Thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds get together in small groups to discuss a single question. Over several years now, three questions evoke the most lively discussions: 1. Based on your experiences of friendship, what are the two …

Things I wish were in my future (but darn it, I don’t think so)

January 27, 2025

Always know where my keys, wallet and phone are when I’m late for an engagement. Watch my beloved Wisconsin Badgers basketball team win a national title. Quit thinking I can solve my friends’ problems. Sneak out of the house for a double dip chocolate ice cream cone without …
