The day the “high five” was invented!

September 28, 2010

I play golf but I’m not a “golfer.” I very seldom venture onto a golf course anymore. Yesterday I got a call from the North Cypress Hospital Cancer Center. They want me to play on their “cancer survivor” team at an American Cancer Society fundraiser next week. As I said “yes”, I immediately had a [...]

I love SPAM!

September 23, 2010

I like SPAM! No, I love SPAM! I’m talking about the canned meat product that originated in 1937, not the irritating, unsolicited e-mails we all receive. I’ll get to that in a minute. I’m talking about the canned meat that plops out of the can coated in an unidentifiable jelly substance! The “8 billionth” can [...]

Stress comes at us from many directions. Of course we all know about job stress. I can’t think of a profession that stress is not part of the territory. Many years ago, Loretta LaRoche, a psychologist who approaches stress with humor, introduced me to “subliminal stress” through her books and programs. Subliminal stress…those things in [...]

Where were you?

You start down here in the First Grade and we recommend you graduate 12 years later!

September 3, 2010

Why do we go to homecomings? Is it because we want to assure ourselves that we aren’t the only ones aging? Or is it because we are in denial about our aging and want to show others we are maintaining status quo – even though they seem to be aging? Or is it just because [...]

My wife has informed me that I’ve been writing too much about technology. My reply was, “This blog’s primary purpose is to help folks relieve stress through humor and there is nothing more stressful than technology!” She said, “According to you, a wife helping her husband hook up a trailer is the biggest challenge you [...]

August 25, 2010

It seems like “texting” has been around forever. I’ve even turned into a “texter.” Actually, texting as we know it today became available in 2001 and didn’t become user friendly until about 2003. The young folks are especially gifted at it. Whether us old fogeys like it or not, it’s here to stay and it’s [...]

Stress and Humor: Dogs are from Mars…Horses are from Venus!

August 23, 2010

It’s Miss Lillie here. Mr. Attitude Man and Ms. Techno Lady have been on the road this week and they didn’t take me with them…bummer! How dare them!
