Moe knew that people saw him as a cantankerous old badmash, and he well deserved the title. He had been a wild child, mostly due to the melancholy of living with parents who thought that he could not hold a candle to his big brother, Charlie, who was a star athlete and scholar. No one...

Every time I stand or sit on the beach, I regret not knowing how to swim. I wish that I had learned how to swim when I was a little girl. But, as I wrote before, my mother did not let me learn to swim, ride a bike, or skate, stating that I might get... Continue Reading →

Last weekend was special because I saw some of my granddaughters whom I had not seen in a while, due to their family and work commitments whenever Douglas and I are in Atlanta. While sitting down to talk, I found myself on my birthday trying to be heard among a group of twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings... Continue Reading →
He enters the ring every Wednesday night, whether he is feeling like it or not. The kiddies especially are looking for "Big Tony" to put up a good "fight," and he is paid to see that they are fully entertained. I cringe when I see him heading for the ring, sending up prayers of God's... Continue Reading →
