TSA – YMCA!
Well… You may recall my recent misadventure at the Long Beach Airport. I have struck again. Yes, I did the YMCA dance at the bag-drop with a TSA agent.

Father’s Day Role Models

There is a great disturbance in the Force and in the card aisle – namely, that there are so many Star Wars cards for Father’s Day. For those of us hoping to show our dads we love them, our only options seem to be asking you for money, implying you suffer from IBS, or comparing…

Larry the Fashionista

In my “junior-senior” years (old enough to get discount movie tickets, but not Medicare), I have learned that I no longer care what I wear out in public. My wife, well, she is always well put-out (and tries to put me out, but I keep coming back). So, on a Saturday morning I decide to…

The King of LarryLand gets Crowned
So, today I went to the dentist to get a crown. I’m pretty sure that makes me King of LarryLand, but the Queen thinks otherwise. As the court technician lined me in a robe of lead, she positioned the machine for my royal portrait and snapped my picture. And nothing showed up on the screen.…

Fun with Medical Billing!
I can’t speak for you, but I can hardly wait to pay my medical bills. I accumulate all of the paperwork in a big file so that I can enjoy this in one big blast of reconciliation entertainment. Which, despite advanced degrees in statistics, I am unable to do. This necessitates a call to the…
