Reflections Of A Gasbag

Today is Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday. The start of Holy Week which starts today and last until April 11th. I always love the Easter season. This one however is unlike any we have ever experienced. A Easter where we will be left to our own devices as to how we will celebrate. I have […]

So here we are. The crazy people are all around. We wonder why the government holds things from us? Now we know. For the life of me do not understand the toilet paper phenomenon. Granted there have been times that I would have paid ten dollars a square but this isn’t one of those times. […]

So here we are. Pandemic 2020. If one thing we have learned through all of this is that people are f’ing crazy. Went to the grocery store yesterday to get some milk. Zero. Not even soy. That alone should tell us how whack people are. Now I know why the government is so secretive on […]

Not only is today Friday the 13th but it is also my birthday. I have never been superstitious but as the great Michael Scott once said “I’m not superstitious, I’m just a little stitious”. I have had black cats, walked under ladders, been in the house with a open umbrella, knocked on wood and even […]

So we had our volunteer banquet at the soup kitchen last night. We being Daily Bread Ministries. The Memorial Methodist Social Hall was packed with volunteers. I am amazed how far we have come since July 8th 1990 when The Greer Soup Kitchen served the first meal. Years later we started STEP (Shelter To Empower […]

Audiences are smaller, the so called Christmas blockbusters are out so this is the time of year you get the movies that in screen testing didn’t fare so well. Although with the crap they release these days […]

Not only are we welcoming a new year but also a new decade. 2019 is behind us and 2020 is in front of us. 2020…….Let’s marinate on that for awhile. My first reaction to the start of this new decade is am I going to live through this one. I’m not a young man. Me […]

As I sit here in my office on this morning, I realize the Christmas season as rapidly coming to an end. It’s the 15th of December, close your eyes for a second……boom it’s December 26th and people would have already started taking decorations off the tree and thrown the tree away which I truly despise. […]

Thanksgiving is here. I feel bad for Thanksgiving because it slowly but surely being nudged and squeezed out of the holiday traditions. The end of October, it is all about Halloween. People dress up and put orange lights out in their yards with pumpkin’s everywhere, drinking the most God awful pumpkin spice concoction being put […]
