This is my second Charlene, but the first one had an S instead of a C. It was important to remember these distinctions; God forbid me from having referred to Susy as Sue. Charlene lived in West Norriton, a small town that adjoined King of Prussia in the western...

I’ve never been much of a world traveler, due mostly to the fact that I hate flying. When I was in the army, I flew Philly from Atlanta, then to Korea and Japan, and then (fortunately) BACK. I did a fair amount on business incentive travel, where I earned trips to...

Photo taken by Frank Lazarus  Everything and everyone has one! But have you ever wondered who and how these expiration dates are determined? And the consequences of using the product after the expiration date? Let’s first dispense with the everyone above. I...

If you follow pro football, you know there has been plenty of talk about concussions, and protecting pl; players from themselves… This reminds me of a bit Jerry does in his standup act (not from the TV show) about helmets that goes something like this… “The most...

Jeanne had a profile picture that demanded I travel to Newark, Delaware, to verify. You see, she looked very much like the woman (Gina) in Seinfeld who was the wife of a mob guy and was cheating on him with Kramer. If you recall, Kramer fell asleep on top of her; she...
