Tonight’s 60 Minutes has a feel good interview: Anderson Cooper on Michael Phelps. They had a race in the pool: Cooper did free style while Phelps did dolphin kicks in one breathe. I don’t think any one would have a doubt as who won that race. Any way, I found Cooper to be pretty cool [...]

King’s PSAT test result has arrived. He did not study for it, only decided on the last minute to take it. Many kids took it. One of his buddies scored in the 96 percentile and was disappointed.
“Did you prepare for it?” I asked.
“Oh ya. I took the practice test every week.”
“Satisfied with the result?”
“Not really. [...]

Wal-Mart door greeter dies on Friday. How crazy can the Americans be? It’s embarrassing. First of all, getting up at 3am to wait on line for some deals or sales are stupid enough. Now some one dies in this ‘tradition’. Why would anyone want to join the shopping stampede?

Not very long ago Golfer introduced me to Beethoven’s violin’s concerto. I instantly, I meant it .. pronto fall in love with it. Doesn’t it move you??? It has since become my most favored piece, up there with Tchaikovsky’s. I love violin concertos above all else and listen to them day in day out.

While it may seem incredible, even today this custom continues, in Dantesque, – in the Faroe Islands, ( Denmark ) . A country supposedly ‘civilized’ and an EU country at that. For many people this attack to life is unknown– a custom to ’show’ entering adulthood. It is absolutely atrocious. No one does anything to [...]

Whom should you call when you need TLC or wanting to be entertained?
Where to place the call when you need a ride?
What to do when you need your little leg (or brain in that matter) to be looked at? Not broken, just thought it’s a good idea to have someone to look at.
