71. Making Moonshine at Sigma Mu Sigma
August 14, 2013
Last November I wrote a Thanksgiving article, which was mainly about a successful turkey rustling mission masterminded by a fraternity brother back-in-the-day. I referred to Fred Jackson, Schenectady’s answer to James Dean, as Agent 702 because of 1) the colorful life he led in college—the guy was a...

72. Headaches
August 10, 2013
In the fall of my college freshman year I was among the original occupants of a new dormitory. Everything was pristine including furnishings, fixtures, and recreation room equipment. Within a half hour of settling into my room and wandering to the rec room, an angular, blond, crew-cut fellow from St...

73. Conservatives, Liberals, and Progressives; Oh My!
August 05, 2013
We human beings are by nature a divisive lot, and Americans being a collection of the rest of the world’s castoffs, rascals, and ne’er-do-wells, are among the most discordant of all. Look at it this way; none of us is here because things were going well for our forbearers in the “old country”. I am ...

74. Carlos Danger Rides Again
July 31, 2013
He’s coming for ya / He’s gonna get ya / Attack of the wiener man / …Mm-m-Mm-M-M-M-M-M / (You can’t scream when your mouth is full) – From “Attack of the Wiener Man” by Here Come the Mummies. (BTW do yourself a favor; look up the Mummies site and give the song a listen. LMAO!) There was this...

75. Fountain of Youth
July 19, 2013
Since Ponce de Leon’s final ill fated journey to Florida, one after another of our lot has picked up his sword and continued the “eternally young” quest with predictably empty results. I refer to his final journey as ill fated because de Leon, then governor of Puerto Rico, was shot with a poison arr...

76. George and Trayvon
July 14, 2013
I see George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second degree murder and/or manslaughter in the Trayvon Martin trial. Some people resent the jury’s findings; others celebrate. Meanwhile the media attempts to keep stirring up the black community—the same black community that celebrated when O. J. Simp...

77. My Greatest Journey
July 05, 2013
A businessman walked into a bar… Sounds like a joke, right? Well, in a way it is, but the joke was on me. This was in my days as a bachelor. At the time I lived and worked in Southern California, and had to make a troubleshooting trip to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was not pleasant. An electro-m...

78. Words! Words! Words!
June 09, 2013
“Words! Words! Words! I’m so sick of words! I hear words all day through; first from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?” — Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady I’ve always been amazed by the versatility of the English language, and the rate at which it evolves; but ...

79. Now Batting Third, Number 14...
May 27, 2013
During my tweener years in northwestern Ohio, when it came to baseball, we kids were either fans of the Cleveland Indians or the Detroit Tigers. Detroit was closer so we saw more of their games, which were telecast from Toledo; but (after all) the Indians were in the Buckeye state, which was the tru...

80. The Strange Tale of Tim Tebow
May 23, 2013
I first saw Tim Tebow play football for the University of Florida as a freshman back-up quarterback. He’d come into the game on short yardage situations or when the team penetrated their opponent’s 15-yard line. The results were usually touchdowns and first downs. Sportscasters referred to him as th...
