One of my girl friends is sharing a car with her son. So what’s the worst that could happen with that? you say. Frankly, I thought nothing of it … until she came roaring up my street to pick me up for breakfast.
I mean, I could hear her coming for miles, only I never expected [...]

I was looking at some old photos I took in Las Vegas and wishing I could make a trip there. The best time to go would probably be spring or fall.
I’ve been there twice, both times at the height of summer and remember, that place is literally a desert with extreme summer temperatures. Whoa, it’s [...]

After seeing the beautiful singing tree at the Pavilion over the Christmas holidays, I have to say I was a tad disappointed in their Chinese New Year decor.

I don’t believe it myself but Chinese New Year is slightly over a week away and I haven’t even started my grocery runs which typically involve hauling back boxes of mandarin oranges and food gifts to be given away in the customary gift exchange.
My biggest problem every year is that I tend to overbuy. You [...]

My neighbor has a daughter who’s just gotten her driver’s license which she promptly ‘celebrated’ by accidentally reversing into someone else’s car. Her father wasn’t pleased because he didn’t appreciate having to spend a small fortune on repairs.
So instead he went out and got himself a tool storage kit of body shop supplies and proceeded [...]
