The Dumber Years

A collection of stories from my childhood, inspired by spending hours watching “The Wonder Years” on The Hub.

Another One Bites The Dust

There is no integrity anywhere, not even in the world of journalism. Bye, Bye Charlie Rose. And now adios Matt Lauer. I remember back in the day, when Lauer still had hair, that he was described as an eligible bachelor. All I wanted to do was gag. I guess “good looks” overshadows bad (read: despicable) […]

Reflecting

A lot of “news” has focused on the sexual harassment in Hollywood. Then there were the social media hashtags of “#metoo.” It got me thinking of reflecting on my own life.
