It’s probably our coldest morning so far this fall. The mercury on the thermometer dipped down to almost 20 degrees. How thankful we are for a cozy house to live in. Some are not so fortunate. We should thank God every day for our many blessings, but as I write this, with Thanksgiving Day in ...

YOUNGSTOWN — “How the Drag Queen Stole Christmas” started out in 2007 rebelling against those message-delivering shows that become holiday traditions. That’s changed over the years, according to Rust Belt Theater Company founder Robert Dennick Joki, who co-wrote the music with Josh ...

In fits of forced boredom, I used to ponder that age-old question of if a tree fell in the forest, and there was no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Or if a man speaks in a forest and there’s no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong? Coughs and sniffles have kept me at ...

My wife left me. But only for two weeks. “Do you miss me?” she asked in one of our nightly phone calls. “Absolutely,” I said, while muting the TV. I didn’t want her to overhear that I was watching wrestling, which apparently is “stupid” and “ridiculous” and “without ...

I came across an article the other day titled, “Energy, and how to get it.” I didn’t read it. Too much effort. I used to have energy. The pedal hit the metal by the time I was 2 and my energy didn’t ease off the gas until I was 22. Back then, I stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning. ...

A lady’s voice cooed from my GPS, “In two miles, take the exit on the right.” A lady’s voice from the seat beside me countered, “Don’t do that. If you take the bypass, we’ll miss the thrift shop. And there’s another one on the other side of town.” Oh, joy. My life has ...

I don’t know if you remember her. Anyone under the age of, hmmm, let’s say, 21 isn’t likely to recognize her name. Or her photo. Or even her hideous hair. Well, not her actual mane but the motley mop of her arguably most iconic character: Roseanne Roseannadanna. It’s difficult to ...

I am trusting by nature. Always have been. Always will be. Still, I ought to have known better. Look, I realize I’m no Einstein. Or Descartes. Or Newton. Or da Vinci. Many people don’t realize it but, in addition to his artist gig, Leonardo da Vinci was a bona fide genius. ...

Years ago, comedian Jerry Seinfeld did a skit about his childhood pet parakeet. He was confused about its life choices. One of which was to fly directly into a mirror and aim straight for its own reflection. Now obviously, parakeets have severely limited ability to reason, or even see very ...

I really didn’t want anyone to know this, frankly. In fact, there is really quite a bit of regret in the admission of the sordidness of it all, to be honest. Shameful sigh. But the truth is, I’ve been watching You. Not you. But YOU. You know? Maybe ya don’t, yo. Hmm. The You to whom I ...
