You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Smart Phone Addiction. A study commissioned by Nokia indicates that people check their cell phones every 6 minutes.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Stay-cations! The whole idea of vacation is to relax, to stay away from work.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The annual physical. It’s a turn your head and cough invasion of personal space.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Zombie Nation. There are legions of unchecked children, tormented teens and recalcitrant tweens with a bad attitude and sour dispositions.

A story ripe with errors and unchecked factual matter is disgusting. It’s like peeling a banana back and revealing black, rotting fruit. I have made […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Little acts of kindness that circle the universe, gather pixie dust from Tinkerbell and good will from Gandhi, and then come home to nest.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ profound devastation. Unadulterated joy. The two concepts are swirling across my brain like two tidal systems coming and going at the same time.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Powerball Tip. Someone in Florida won 1/2 a billion dollars in Power Ball – BILLION! Lucky duck. Like millions of you, I bought a ticket. Like millions of you, I lost. Sort of. I did win a little prize that put a big smile on a waitress’ […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Watching my son sit on the side lines in street clothes. It’s hard watching him stand around while other kids limber up. It’s painful watching him work out the goalie by throwing the ball at him. It’s disheartening watching him sit on the bench when he […]
