Summertime and the riding is easy!!

You probably know this already.   I ride a motorcycle--a Harley to be exact.  As I surf the net I come across many blogs and sites for and about people who enjoy the open road in a non-cage vehicle.  There is a great deal of debate as to what to call us.  Am I a biker?  Am I a rider?... read more »

WTF. What the…. four?

It was an absolutely beautiful morning this morning.  Low sixties.  Light wind.  A beautiful sunrise.  Were you up early enough to enjoy it too?  It was amazing!!  My alarm woke me at 5:10 (the usual time), I got dressed in my shorts and t-shirt.  I donned my reflective vest, and popped in my tunes.  I set off on a 14... read more »

Yes and No. How are both possible?

We are often asked if we do those mercury fillings.  The answer is Yes and No. When I attended dental school back in the 20th century,  I received the best dental education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry.  It was a grueling 4 years, but well worth the effort.  We learned about the materials and procedures... read more »

What can I say?

  When I was a child, I really did not enjoy going to the dentist! As a matter of fact, it was quite the ordeal for my mom to get me to sit in the chair.  Eventually, a visit to the local “dime store” for a post-visit bribe worked.  Needless to say, I eventually outgrew those feelings.  In the past... read more »

Thank a vet!!

Today, my post will be short, sweet and to the point. (How unusual!) I am a proud member of the Pittsburg Sunrise Rotary.   It is an awesome group with a wide variety of members--age and professions.   Despite the early start time (7:00am),  the members are wide awake and ready to face the world.   Our club is organized... read more »

What a tool!

This post will seem scattered, but please be patient! Over the last year and a half, I have been through some life experiences that have taught me a few things, one is an important truism--"stuff happens to you for a reason!"  This morning it happened again.  I enjoy bicycle riding in the morning.  The weather is cool, the birds are... read more »

An answer for inquiring minds…

My dad tells corny jokes. Lots of them! He gets to telling so many that he makes himself laugh so hard that you have a difficult time understanding him.  He is a hoot!!  In his stash of jokes he will slip in a riddle.  "There are two barbers in town, one with beautiful hair the other with hair not so... read more »
