Remember those first essay assignments of the school year? Teachers tried to ease us kids back into the school year by assigning us to write how we spent our summer vacation. It was the very topic most of us jabbered about right up to the ringing of the class bell. We’d jammed and packed ...
I miss telephone books. They could level a chair with a short leg, help little kids sit tall enough to join the big people’s table at Thanksgiving, and they’d swat flies like nobody’s business. The coolest thing of all — they were chock-full of phone numbers. Or turn to the Yellow ...
Aesop was confused. The guy credited with cooking up a Crock-Pot full of fables packed with wisdom couldn’t make up his mind. The sages who followed did little to untangle the wacky webs he weaved. We’re left with dueling nuggets like these: Look before you leap, but he who hesitates is ...
Researchers at The Ohio State University offered advice last week on how to turn old and boring into exciting and new. Get weird. They worded it a bit more scholarly than that, but weird is what they meant. For example, they suggest eating popcorn — a known and habitual hand food — with ...

In 2016, it wasn’t as prevalent in my life. It only occurred quarterly, I’d say. Last year, it was becoming more regular — monthly, at the very least. By January 2018 it was definitely weekly. And now? Multiple times a day. Every single day. Without fail. No, I’m not talking ...
As I pulled into my driveway after work the other day, I paused. I waited. I watched. This is what I always do. Because every day when she is outside at my arrival, without fail, my 7-year-old Boxer Monnie will slowly lift herself from her carefully-selected sunning spot in our yard, toss her ...
ter than 90 MPH Last Tuesday Night, Hello. You don’t know me. You likely never will. But I know you — sorta. And watching you zip past me on the highway at what I’m estimating was about 96 miles per hour gave me some good insight, yo. You didn’t see me — or the man you nearly ...
I feel so badly for folks with no sense of humor. I mean, to never see the funny in everyday situations? #BummerExistence Like my Pop always says, “That’s a heckuva way to go through life.” Pop doesn’t say heck. I digress. Granted, sometimes you have to seek out humor. Like, under ...

A few days ago, I was driving down a street in my neighborhood and saw a sight that I hadn’t seen in ages. A young woman was hanging her sheets and other laundry on a clothesline in her backyard! This scene could have been from 80 or so years ago except for one glaring difference — she ...

YORK HAVEN, Pa. — At a little after 9 a.m. Monday, July 9, James Smith took a knee on the sidewalk outside the Rutter’s on West Market Street, at the intersection with Route 116, as a couple of friends worked on strapping a small backpack, containing his laptop and notebooks and such, to a ...
PITTSBURGH — Esquire magazine did a profile of Wayne Newton in the early ‘80s that dissected the popularity of his Las Vegas act. Newton would talk to the audience between songs about throwing out the setlist, scrapping the rules and playing all night, creating the impression that this ...
CHAMPION — “The Addams Family” clearly was a popular choice for this year’s Summer Stock musical at Kent State University at Trumbull. Folding chairs were set up at the back of the theater to accommodate the demand for tickets at Friday’s sold-out performance. It should remain ...
CLEVELAND — After the multiple Tonys, a Pulitzer and the near universal acclaim by everyone from history buffs to hip hop fans, it’s hard not to go into “Hamilton” without a chip on one’s shoulder. It can’t be that good, can it? Or maybe it was in its original Broadway ...
George Clinton is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Parliament-Funkadelic mother ship — his most famous prop (outside of the multi-colored braids he wore for decades) — is on permanent display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. That ...
