WHEN SHOULD YOU THROW AWAY A PERFECTLY GOOD SUIT?

Even a "perfectly good" suit should be retired or thrown away when it is no longer structurally sound, no longer fits your body, or is severely out of style. A well-maintained, high-quality suit typically lasts between five and fifteen years.

ACTING 101

CLARINET PRACTICE IN THE BEDROOM...

The snake charmer flute produces a high-pitched, droning sound used to "charm" snakes, which actually react to the visual movement and vibrations of the instrument, not the music.  On the other hand, if the vibrations of a clarinet can charm one of the belts in my closet, then I don't know what!

ELF ON THE CLARINET!

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

Finally, I've become a NOBEL PRIZE Winner!

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!

MY INVISIBLE MAN HALLOWEEN COSTUME

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!

ACTING...ON THE GOLF COURSE

You may stink at golf but remember: no matter how lousy you are at every sport, the main thing is to act like a pro and forge ahead even if you're just a clumsy bum like me!

MY GQ STYLE

THE SOUNDS OF OLD AGE

I'm finding out that senior citizens' bodies work in a different way with each passing year.

SIGNS

THE COMMANDMENT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT!

FOCUS ON MYSELF!

Focusing on yourself means prioritizing your own needs, personal growth, and well-being. It involves understanding yourself, practicing self-compassion, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-esteem. It's not selfish, but rather a necessary step in becoming the best version of yourself.

THINGS I'VE LEARNED SO FAR!

MONSTER BURGER!

I love hamburgers. I even think hamburgers are my most favorite food in the world. But sometimes, hamburgers can be a bit of a problem when certain hamburger joints go nuts with their promotional campaigns and try to outsize the competition. Really, there's no mouth big enough to take a bite out of these massive creations! (However, that doesn't stop me. I'll accept the challenge!)
