episode 4783: Myopia
The clinical term is myopia. Most of us know it better when it's called nearsightedness. I've suffered with it for over 55 years. All of my family suffers from it, too. While some people wear glasses for style,
episode 4782: Watching TV
Throughout my life, I've spent a lot of time watching TV. Many people my age can say the same thing. Growing up, I sat in front of the TV before I went to school and then came home and did the same thing. I still watch more than most people.
episode 4781: Front Porch
About this time every year, our front porch looks like a war zone. For some reason, barn swallows return to our neighborhood yearly to build nests and have babies. Without fail, these birds try to make their nests on top of the pillars that frame our f...
episode 4780: Stump The Schwab
I love trivia. And I've always loved watching sports trivia shows on TV. The first show I remember is Sports Challenge starring Dick Enberg back in the 1970s. Over the weekend, I was reminded of another one of my faves from the early 2000s.

episode 4776: My Phone
I love technology, and usually, I'm an early adopter. But when it comes to my phone, I hate buying a new one. Some people always want the latest and greatest iPhone or Android. But I like to hold on to mine as long as I can. I still use an iPhone 7,
episode 4775: Space Junk
For decades, the International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth. It's been up there so long that many people don't even think about it. But what would you do if something broke off the space station and fell back to Earth?
episode 4774: Wage Equality
For as long as I can remember, people have discussed the difference in the salaries of men and women doing the same job. While strides are being made, for many, more is needed. Will wage equality ever happen in our lifetime? I don't know.
