  • Family on Three. Neumann on Six0

    I had every intention of running in the general election, but my family accused me of not taking my medications. I also couldn’t afford the costs that were associated with a campaign.

    At a time in our history when fake news and political correctness seem to dominate our daily lives, and at a time when there seems to be a lack of concern for accepting responsibility for our actions, being reliable or showing respect for our fellow man, perhaps we need to properly identify just who America’s

    Whenever I am feeling blue, I stop by Wegmans to say hello to my crew. I am counting down the days until I can join them full time. My older retired friends come in all shapes and sizes. They are good for my morale as they are all fans of this column. We talk fishing

  • Dot Your I’s & Cross Your T’s0

    ‘Dot your I’s and cross your T’s’ is a well-known metaphor for anyone working on a project before completion.
