March 2026 Newsletter

Ides of March are on the 15th to remind you Caesar bit the big one in 44 B.C., assassinated by sixty Roman senators, all garbed in their white robes, soon to be red and white, Roman flip flops, led by Brutus who turned out to be a lousy friend. You can’t help but wonder how much was left of poor unsuspecting Caesar.

December Newsletter 2025

was just thinking this month is like a downhill ski run, the days don't slow even for moguls, from decorating to mailing off Christmas presents and cards to making the house the ultimate of jolly to basking on the sofa at night in the dark and simply staring at the Christmas tree, all lights and colored-ball garlands, not to mention all the piles of presents stacked up.

November Newsletter 2025

Yes' I know' the year 2025 is winding down faster than my former ancient Timex that finally begged me to set it free into the Timeless universe.

October Newsletter 2025

It's the middle of the month and if you haven't got your skeletons and pumpkins and black witch hats out then you're going to get a visit (or several) from the Halloween Minions who, I'm told, really enjoy scaring the crap out of you when you least expect it, if you deserve it. Go get with it, people.

September Newsletter 2025

Right off the bat, (oops, should be right off the pigskin), kudos to Josh Allen, QB of the Buffalo Bills – pulled out a win in the last three minutes of the game against the Baltimore Ravens this past Monday Night – Naturally, I’d turned it off because the Bills were losing by eleven points so why continue the torture?

Amazing July – okay, many of you are enduring summer heat up to two thousand degrees and you’re miserable, your pets are miserable, you’re growling at your spouse and you’re forced to live inside, e.g., Las Vegas.

June Newsletter 2025

Vol. Three No. Pounds

Home from the OBX which is why I’m late on the newsletter. I gotta say, this year was well-nigh perfect -- only rained a bit some nights, then absolutely perfect sunny days, not ever hellishly hot, incredible meals, birthdays galore, which, naturally, meant delish cakes, donuts, cupcakes, pies, by Tullios, of course, and the very best? NO DRAMA. Just imagine, 45 family members (both sides) and not a single shot was fired. What’s always amazing is people feel compelled to procreate so ages ranged from 2 to ancient.
