Christmas Eve and (Almost) Five Years Old Edna Well, let’s see now… When little Edna was (almost) five years old she was such a true believer in Santa Clause that it was inconceivable that there could be any doubt he existed. By then, of course, she could remember what had happened the year before [...]
Disclaimer to the Hancey’s and Henke children: The memories are true and you will remember them all, but think of them as bits and snatches that have been floating around for almost 25 years. I grabbed them one at a time and formed them into one big ball for the this story. Please, please please, [...]
I probably don’t have many readers left after all this time. It’s been such a six months! Just a quick update on me … some days I feel better and some days I don’t. There is no change in the medicine yet but the doctor was going to try for a third time to get [...]
Since today was a Costco day I went all out. Even though it takes me twice as long to get beautified … I went for it. No holds barred. I even pulled out the ceramic hair straightener … I mean we’re talking BEAUTIFIED with eyebrows and a touch of mascara … the whole schmole. We [...]

Lynn and I considered having a fake Thanksgiving dinner out our house the Saturday or Sunday before Thanksgiving but we [...]
Ryan, remember the coke in the face story? Well, this is me sitting on the ground yesterday after I hit a pot hole and twisted my ankle. I had a mug full of diet coke and the lid flew off and all the diet coke went into my own face just before I did [...]
Okay, friends … imagine one old man who looks a little like Archie Bunker. Those of you who are too young to imagine Archie Bunker are just outta luck, I guess. His name is Bob and he has a little dog named Tom. Second man looks like a tall skinny Archie Bunker and his [...]
I’ve been asked to not blog about someone today … who shall remain nameless to protect their identity. I am a respecter of persons but, of course, there is also my constitutional right to freedom of the press, and we all know how free the press can be. So, I will just say one word [...]
I took type in high school. I typed 65 words a minute on a manual typewriter with no errors. That was high enough to get me an “A” so it must have been a good speed. Right after I finished that class they quit teaching on manual typewriters and moved to the new electric [...]
