OUR FIRST EARTHQUAKE OF 2026!

The first earth tremor of 2026 hit our region at about 7:59 AM today. 6.5 magnitude. No big deal. 

I've grown accustomed to these telluric movements since I felt my first one back in 1957!

My New Year Celebration!

That's the spirit!

Wishing You All A Very Happy 2026!

NEW YEAR WISH!

                                                             As you get older, this happens a lot!

THE ANNUAL GRUMPY OLD MEN REUNION!

It's almost the end of the year so, as it always does at this time, the Grumpy Old Men Club held its annual reunion at a park bench to bid farewell to 2025 where, after much discussion and heated arguments, we decided to hold next year's meetings someplace other than a park bench. The reason? We've been bothered too much by all the damned pigeons hanging around looking for crumbs!

Hallelujah! Christmas Time is Here!

  MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

TWO SHADES OF GRINCH

Yes! Don't get me wrong.  I enthusiastically love Christmas but there's another side to the Yuletide Season I just simply hate...and that is the crowds at department stores, the long, long lines at cashiers, the prices being hiked up on everything and the fact that it's all over, done with and gone so quickly.  Still, unlike the Grinch, I have never, ever hated Christmas. 

CHRISTMAS 2025 WISH LIST!

I have compiled a very exhaustive and thorough list of great gifts I would like to receive on this Christmas Season. And if past history serves as a guide, I know very well my list will be ignored as it typically has been the case for the last 70 plus years...but who cares! It's always a delightful exercise to think about all those lovely girls I know I'll never meet!

ACTING! (The Christmas Sweater Performance)

Christmas is the season for gifting and receiving...and Yuletide themed sweaters are among the top favorite gifts exchanged between family and friends. If you are a good actor, you will wear your Xmas sweater with phony but very convincing pride!

The Christmas Tree Squirrel

ELF ON THE CLARINET!

Apparently, the Elf on the Shelf has no taste in music!

DECEMBER!

                                                 The Season to be jolly, all over again!

Finally, I've become a NOBEL PRIZE Winner!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY 2025!

WHEN YOU'RE GROUCHY, YOU'RE GROUCHY!

...and of course, I next bumped into the store window glass!

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF NEIGHBORS!

 

I don't get it! If people know they have neighbors downstairs...why don't they try to be less noisy, especially at night?  ANSWER: People are basically stupid! 

Am I beginning to sound like a grumpy old man?  ANSWER: You betcha!

ATTACK OF THE KILLER PUMPKINHEAD

MY INVISIBLE MAN HALLOWEEN COSTUME

THE ESCALATOR FROM HELL!

October is the best month to watch horror films. This one hasn't been filmed yet but

it would be a  great horror film premise, don'tcha think?

GOOGLING YOU

In the old days, all your first dates were largely based on mutual trust and common interests taken mostly at face value and if you possessed the gift of gab you could easily win your date's confidence.  However, that gave way to a lot of pretending, lying and making up all sorts of deceitful stories.  Google has put an end to those cheap tactics. Now anyone can check up on your bio records and instantly know if you're a fake, an impostor or the real McCoy!
