It’s wonderful! I’m sitting in the family room with that sweet smell drifting in through the open door and windows. All I want to do is just inhale the intoxicating smell. Stepping outside into the backyard is even better as the entire yard is filled with the scent. Patrick needs to [...]

That’s what I grew up with–Decoration Day. That’s what Memorial Day used to be known as up until Congress changed it from May 30th to the last Monday in May and renamed it Memorial Day. I think this happened sometime in the 60’s, or maybe the late 50’s. Maybe Decoration Day wasn’t [...]

Looks like the Lakers are going to blow it. Actually, they blew it on Thursday night when they let Phoenix tie the game with only a few seconds to go and then lost in OT. Now, in game 7, the Lakers are down by 25 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. [...]

If you saw yesterday’s game, then you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t see the game, then you missed something spectacular! It was like the old days when the Lakers would stage a spectacular comeback at the very last minute. Only this time, they did it twice–once at the end [...]
