Veteran MyLotters will remember that I used to secretly plant seeds in the planters at Kaiser (my medical provider).. Of course I was arrested a few times, but I survived.
Over the years, I had some really good harvests of corn,...

I don't think I qualify as "forgetful" just yet. I do forget names, and wind up saying things like, "You know, the guy who starred in Risky Business and Top Gun" once in awhile. With my older friends, I joke, "You know, the guy...

As you know, I have recently become really interested in Autistic kids, and how to help them move forward. I have found that many Autistic children respond to music, and I want to advance this idea (not that the same hypothesis...

I read somewhere that gas prices are crazier in California than elsewhere in the US, but I haven't researched it that thoroughly.
A few months ago they were down to about $4.19/gallon at my discount station, a few dimes more at...

It’s been a great birth month for me. I hope you’ve enjoyed celebrating with me as I look at these timeless songs that somehow have turned 40 and 70 years old. That’s the joy of music: it truly is timeless. Up next on the...

I had a productive day yesterday and was feeling all "in control" of my life. And then these things happened:
The weather totally flipped. Yesterday was sunny and in the 80s F. I think I even spied a bit of color in my pale and...

I just read an article suggesting that a certain politician is funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, of campaign contributions to his own businesses and personal residences.
Some political analysts argue...

Greg Most people would be ticked off but not MAGA. They see it as an honor to support a pretend billionaire who hates them.

After three weeks of looking at songs from 1954, you can see what a pivotal year it was for music. We had great country (okay, in my opinion), great pop, swing, and the advent of rock and roll. Before we head into the top...

I forgot to take a "before" picture of my balcony. I did use it getting painted as an opportunity to throw out some stuff out there that I did not need. And to start my yearly "restoration" work on my outside table and chairs. I...

Christopher is child I have been teaching piano to for perhaps two years. He is a special needs kid, but I don't know what his official diagnosis is, nor do I really care. I think he is Autistic. He is about ten. He looks kind of...

What do you know, I get a birthday present today. Here we have a song that’ll be 70 years old this year, by a relatively obscure country singer, and my favorite “noper” NJ Chic KNOWS IT! How did I manage that? I didn’t do...

About two weeks ago, when I paid my rent, the lady in the office asked me to move the plants from the periphery of my balcony. But she didn't tell me why.
