In a recent visit to the doctor (scheduled) I had to fill out a form to update/validate my information for 2019. Part of the questionnaire was this. I was quickly filling this out and after I checked White I started to feel a bit uncomfortable. Why is Ethnicity only Hispanic or Non-hispanic? Why is Race only these four choices? The United States …
Luke Hagerty. A name you might hear a few times during the upcoming baseball season. What's so special is the fact he is 37 years old and throwing 99...he is the ultimate comeback story for baseball.

My wife and I went to the movies last Saturday night. We saw A Star is Born which we both liked. But that's not the real story....when we walked up to the ticket counter, I asked for two adults.

Every year one of my friends reviews his relationships and categorizes them creating a top ten list. He has a bunch of criteria, some of which is strange but one particular point got me thinking. His top friends are those who can he be most authentic with. As he says, "...the people when I'm around I can be myself, say whatever pops into my head. …

A week ago I was surfing through the internet finding the list of things I needed to do to get my iPhone 7 working again. Apparently, without reason, my phone stopped connecting to the network. No calls in or out and texts only if I was connected to WiFi. It left me wondering how I ever survived without a mobile phone. After reaching out to Appl …

Police in Germany said that an 18-year-old was caught going 60 mph in a 30 mph zone just 49 minutes after he passed his driver's exam and was given a license. "Some things hold for eternity... some not even an hour," police wrote.
It was about two days ago that I was sitting at home staring at the TV but had not turned it on. This dark, blank lifeless flat object seemed to be bekoning to me. Turning it on would mean bringing life, color, sound and images into the room. I resisted the temptation. It's funny how many times I inadvertantly picked up the remote as if it was a …
I was observing my own actions this week as well as the people around me how considerate, or inconsiderate, we all are. My unscientific study yielded some interesting results. I've noticed people not holding the door open, push to go first at the supermarket and speeding up so the driver, who has their blinker on, can't move into their lane. It s …
