So You Think You Can Teach

I signed up with an agency a few years ago to be a substitute teacher. It’s pretty easy to manage. You go online the night before and see who’s out...

Political Profiling

I'm visiting my better half in Houston for a few weeks.  I don't hate it, it being Texas.  But I can't stop staring at people to weigh who they...

Me, Myself and I

Me:  Table for one, please. Them:  Would you like the counter instead? Me:  No I'd like a table for one. Them:  No waiting for the counter.  Twenty...

Medi-cares

Do they?  They're mostly pests that feed on older people's vulnerability. Their flash cards include words like copay, tier one or two drugs,...

Pontius Pilate

Patience

The older I get the less I have of it and the tiniest things rev my engine.  Like just this morning.  I was hungry and weighed all the morning...

Curtain Up

I find it sad that I'm already showered, shaved and dressed to go to the theater when the play doesn't start until 7:00.  It's currently 11:30.   But we are (me and the other half) going to see a new play called The Roommate with Mia Farrow and Patti Lupone.  You...

Poinsettias

My Grandma Namian.  Let's just say she had a lot on her plate.  With Grandpa being an old school Armenian, he viewed Ethel as more of a servant than a wife.  He called her DAT DAMN ETTLE.  Never deviated.  Probably tortured her in the delivery room for taking so long....
