ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE'S MOST FAMOUS VICTIM

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE'S MOST FAMOUS VICTIM

The man who managed to cut government spending in as many ways as he found possible: environmental initiatives, the arts, welfare, public assistance, anything that remotely smelled of Democrat or Liberal agenda, and who managed to grow the deficit to sky high numbers, has passed away.

I never liked Reagan when he was alive, and I donít have even a slight semblance of warmer feelings for him in his death.

A RETURN TO SANITY

A RETURN TO SANITY

The Return of Cracker Jack!

Baseball may still have the wretched DH rule, but at Yankee Stadium there has been a slight return to normalcy: Cracker Jack is back! No more CrunchíníMunch.

ALIVE, COUGHING, AND LAUGHING

ALIVE, COUGHING, AND LAUGHING

Yes, I remain alive. The cold of 2004 (which was threatening to become the Killer Cold of 2004) did not become fatal, despite efforts to that effect.

The cough lingers on, even a little productive. Blecch! But better to expel and expectorate than to contain and contaminate. Catchy slogan, eh? As fate would have it, there's a little bit of Chicken Soup left in the refrigerator. I will have it tomorrow, as a last bit of over-the-counter antibiotic.
