HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY, 2022!

 

This is me in 1956. Wish I could go back in time and warn myself about the future!

I Remember Abu Dhabi!

Back in 2016, I flew to Abu Dhabi to meet with my sister who was living there at the time. Spent one great month making the scene there and at Dubai, where I visited every tourist attraction and several other places not seen by the general public. All in all, a wonderful experience! 

The End of the Holidays?

 

ACCORDION IN HELL

I took accordion lessons way, way back in Grade School. 

According to this FAR SIDE cartoon by Gary Larson, does that mean I'm going to end up 

at the place down below?

 

Since I know you're all dying to know, here's a close up of the Hohner Accordion Model that I used to play. The expression on my face on the picture at right, tells everything about the joy I felt about learning this instrument. 

The New Stand-Up Comedy Rules?

The Academy Awards in HD!

Watching certain TV shows in HD screens is not exactly the best viewing experience, especially when most programs are an insult to the average audience!

COUNTRY LIVING!

ANOTHER SENIOR MOMENT!

 

NOT 105 YEARS OLD

I really appreciate the congratulatory comments but I want to stress the fact that it is 

the newspaper I'm working for that turned 105 this year and not me!

EXCELSIOR daily newspaper celebrates 105th Anniversary!

                  Excelsior newspaper has been publishing my editorial cartoons since August, 2006.

Today marks the 105th anniversary of this legendary publishing company which was founded back in 1917 and I am very proud to be counted among the many contributing journalists, reporters and cartoonists who have helped to make this paper, one of the best and most relied upon news source in the country. 

Happy 105th Anniversary!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY FOR THE NON-IRISH

Of course, you don't need to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

May the leprechauns dance over your bed and bring you sweet dreams. 

Cheers!
