A colleague who made a small update on a news article today jokingly said I should stop the presses.

I did just that 25 years ago.

Here’s why:

Business plan:

My better half didn’t take my takeout food order. But she did take my sauce order.

The two-point conversion was sponsored by Dos Equis. Maybe Sara Lee should sponsor turnovers.

Remembering my mom on the sixth anniversary of her death. We didn’t have a memorial candle, so we lit a room freshener candle instead. She would have liked that!

Kraft and Heinz are splitting up?! Does this mean I can no longer legally put ketchup on my mac and cheese?

For years, our family headed to the shore of Dumfoundling Bay, where we watched a multitude of July 4 fireworks in the distance along the Atlantic coast. Mom and Dad would stay upstairs to clean up from our indoor picnic. We would then rejoin them in their cool apartment for dessert and TV specials

If it’s July 4, you know what aisle we’re in.

Once I finish this, maybe I’ll get back to “The Power Broker” and “Hamilton.”

Seeing this in the magazine rack made me go full 1970s. So I bought some V-8.

Editors leave legacies.

One invented the term “skyjack.” Another wrote the most famous headline ever: “Headless body found in topless bar.”

Me?

Hmm ... Let me see …

I did come up with the phrase “Toxic Tush.”
