The Money Dance
I’m at a certain type of exclusive large home center store that’s painted a bright orange. I notice a placard that says – Tap Card Here, with a bright orange arrow to the exact spot that you are to place your card. How helpful. I cannot speak for you, but figuring out how to exactly…

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…

Shedding a Tear
For several months I’ve been putting together an outdoor shed. You may be tempted to ask – “Why don’t you buy the thing?” Since I’ve been spending my retirement making large recognizable pieces of wood into indistinguishable small chips of wood, I figured I may as well try.

A Hallmark Hanukkah
You have to give it to the Hallmark people. They figured it out – Christmas is but one day a year, which leaves the other 364 for Christmas movies. But upon consultation with their lawyers, they were advised to do one movie per year that was not about Christmas. Enter the annual Hanukkah movie. It…

Goodbye to a Local Market
I don’t shop at nice grocery stores with bright lights clean floors and matching uniforms. Nope. The stores I go to are old and cruddy looking. These stores are going, and they’re not coming back. I believe that if we all make just a little effort to shop at our favorite shores, we can make…

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like….
New York City. Because it takes 10 minutes for me to remember what it’s like in NY, and 10 minutes to remember what it’s LIKE in NYC, I present to you 20 minutes of things to do in the city.

An Apple Syrup Each Day…..
So, for some reason I had some leftover, cheap, apple juice. You know, the stuff that is in the store for about $5 a metric hecta-liter that you give to kids so that you can peel them off the ceiling later? Or, just spitballing here, you can make both a cocktail and dessert topping.

The Most Dangerous Freeway in America
I’m sure you’ve heard of various studies on the news, such as the best city to live in (LarryLand, of course). These are a random combination of random statistics looked up by Siri using some sort of unmonitored AI. Not to be outdone, the research committee of LarryLand has determined that the most dangerous freeway…

They’re Trying To Tell Me Something
So, my wife and I go into a popular framing store. I’ve been there many times now. The guy who works there and I built some pretty cool “keepsake boxes” together – He mounted the keepsakes; I made the frame. I thought all was great, until we see this cat mounted on the wall. Clearly…
