Yesterday was a great day at our house. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are huge fans of the Philadelphia Eagles, so we were cheering like crazy during the Super Bowl last night. We had expected a much closer game, so we were a lot more relaxed than…

What’s your favorite candy? I love dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is okay, but dark chocolate is so much better. I actually have two favorite candies, both of which include dark chocolate. They are, I think, limited to the Christmas holiday season, but Hershey makes dark chocolate mint kisses that are…

What a fun, if tiring, day! For the past several years, I have taken a group of friends from our church on a tour of Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach, where I am a volunteer guide. We did that tour this morning, on an absolutely perfect day. It…

I have loved football ever since my dad started taking me to games when I was about 8 years old. We would watch his alma mater (the same college that I attended for undergrad), since the school was in our hometown. I remember, when the weather was cold, being bundled…

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? It’s almost impossible to pick one thing that like to do in my leisure time. When I retired, my doctor gave me orders not to let my brain turn to mush. Here are the activities that help me follow that…
