Here We Go Again
You don’t have to cut me open and count the rings to know how old I am. Just ask me how many times I’ve seen fashion trends come around again. …
Another “Old Fart” Randt!
Everyone says it. Kids’ eyes roll when they hear it. But I’m convinced that teenagers are really a different species than they were back when I was one of them. …

A Band That Shall Remain Nameless
We went to another one of those sweet, little fall fairs on the weekend that had a vintage and classic car show. Bless Derek’s heart, he’s patient with me and my tremendous lack of knowledge about classic automobiles. I simply know the ones I think are pretty and even though I’m trying to learn, I don’t think much of it sticks. Lucky for me, I also don’t think he’s about to spring a pop quiz on me anytime soon. …

For What It’s Worth
Are you a haggler? I’ve never been good at it. If something is priced higher than I think it’s worth, I’d just as soon walk away. If a price is fair and I want the item, I’ll just go ahead and get it. But that’s not the way some people operate. …

Rainy Day People
I’m as sick of this weather as anyone. You can’t ride. You can’t work outside. We got drenched when the sky opened up last night during the short jaunt from the train tracks (where we had been stopped for a freight train) and the lot we parked in while taking in the Knights/Zug game at the JLC. It truly has been the summer that never was. …
