The Sleeping Dilemma

My wife and I can no longer sleep in the same bed. It's not because we are trying to maintain a G-rating in the house like Lucy & Ricky .

Not so long ago I had a conversation at work with a truck driver who told me a tale of getting his hand s

Dear Tony

Even back in the day people seemed to come to me with their problems. I should have done like Lucy in the Peanuts comic strip and set up a booth where I could charge them a dollar for good advice. Yea, yea I know Lucy only charged a nickel, but good advice should be worth more than that. What exactly can you get for a nickel these days? You know how the price of living affects everything; and often we get what we pay for. I have never been a big believer in pop-psychology, th
