The Agony of Almost: 2025 Wrestling Season’s Lesson
My wrestling season in 2025 was all right, I guess. I was 22-4 on paper, which is not bad, but somehow still not good enough to get me where I needed to go. Districts were last weekend and I placed third in districts. Only the top two advance to the next level, so that was […]

Loosies and the Price of Eggs
I went into a supermarket where the price of eggs not too long ago was around a dollar a dozen. I was stunned that the price of a dozen was eight dollars and there was a limit of four per person. Limit of four? I could barely afford one dozen and would hope something would bring the price down.

Skiing, Love it or Leave It
The first time I ever skied, I broke my leg. After that I was too terrified. I tried, I cried, I screamed and took my boots off. Then I moved with my family to Switzerland.

Skiing
I started skiing in my late twenties. Some of my friends, having recently returned from military service decided to ski and I, knowing nothing about it except seeing some in newsreels, decided it might be fun. At the beginning, it wasn’t.

THE PLANETARY LINEUP
I got interested in astronomy as a kid about seven years old. My grandfather, who lived in the same building as we did, got the first volume of the Wonderland of Knowledge, an encyclopedia which was being advertised in the NY Daily Telegram.

Find Old Friends
I emphasized not to wait too long or you’ll find their obituaries instead of making contact. Time has a way of flying by. Some time back, a close friend sent me this poem which I’ll pass on in the way of encouragement not to put it off. It’s called “Jim Died Today” and was written by an American writer Ken Nesbitt.

Photography and the Evolution of Confusion
Be careful with stuff you don’t even wish for. Back in an earlier life, I was a serious photographer, amateur, but serious. I bought a Rolleiflex while in the Air Force. Then getting involved with 35 mm color, I bought a Canon SLR which I used so much, I practically wore it out.
A Movement to Help Seniors Stay in Their Own Homes for Life
There are several “villages” that have already formed in New Jersey, including the Southern Jersey towns of Margate and Moorestown. There are also successful and active Villages in California, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, among other places.
The Police and Drivers
I understand the dangers of driving. I’ve been driving for 75 years. But in my opinion, the police are altogether too preoccupied, almost obsessed with speeding and downgrading the other violations. Driving 35 in a 25 mile zone is not as dangerous as not stopping at stop signs, pulling out of driveways without looking, not using directional signals and let’s not forget the leaves.
