I'm 66 and have become more selective about what I buy.

TRIVIA - Two more pieces of Birds trivia (sorry, it was on the other day & got me interested): 1. Richard Deacon had a very small but important scene in the The Birds, where he tell Tippi Hendren's character where Rod Taylor lives. He is better known for his role as Mel Cooley, the hapless...

I read an article in a RR magazine 2 years ago about his hobby. The factory is based on his visit to an abandoned steel mill in Bethlehem PA. Sitting in a room painting trains was not a post-concert activity I would have associated with Rod.

I was at baggage claim last week, and CNN was playing on the monitor. They had a commercial for a new anchor/news person. It was 30 seconds of her posing and smiling and looking pretty. It looked liked a teeth whitening commercial. Nothing about her journalist credentials. I just thought "Walter...

Whenever I'm in PA, I stop by Ron's shop to chat. I just need to remember to block out the morning, because Ron has LOTS of stories to tell. When my son was young, Ron walked us through his casting operation. Then he gave my son a painted figure as a souvenir. Will always remember that. We...

OOH, FW is 30 minutes from my house! I would be so there!!! {sm3}

My USPS story: My wife has that USPS service that emails you a photo of your mail each day. A few weeks ago it showed that we were receiving an important letter that day. But it was not in the mailbox. After a day or so I took it to the post office and asked about it, where I was told "Just...
