The cards were being dealt and sometimes in the heat of the game it takes some time to sort out the diamonds from the hearts and the spades from the clubs as the colors of red and black become a blur. Such is the case with our lives at times. At this moment in time, it appears this will be my last article for “The Record”, as my health situation is under a total medical disability and I am not working. So for “the record” I remind you one and all that we are under the curse o...

I’m always in a hurry, yes, I’m always flyin’ low. Makin’ ever’ minute count, when runnin’ to and fro. I follow a schematic, a mental blueprint in my mind. I insist there is an order, so I’m not runnin’ blind. Perfection is a must, though some don’t understand. No matter what the venture, everything must be well planned. I believe, yes, in self discipline, I live by a set of rules. I often whip and drive myself, unlike do many fools. I hate chaos and confusion, abhor things in disarray. I detest the slightest mayhem,...

This weeks recipes will help take care of some of the bounty as well as providing interesting fare for your festival-going company. G...
His smile was so contagious, it matched his slim physique. He often wore a red beret, his body healthy and so sleek. A shirt was excess baggage, what a character, this Walt! An enthusiastic human, never quick to point out fault. He surely dwarfed Goliath, a giant of a man was he! His heart was made of pure gold, he was gentle as could be. He was a health food --- nut, he ate no fatty pork or veal, He loved his fruit and veggies, peanut butter, and oatmeal. Yet --- he really had a --- sweet tooth, but this you already know,...

I quite often go to funerals, I go to several every year, And bid farewell to old friends, and never shed a tear. When at a cemetary, I’m always strong and brave, While others sob profusely, while standing o’er a grave. I can watch a sad ol’ movie, with no moisture in mine eye. Others sniff and wipe their nose, and dab their wet eyes dry. And at several weddings, I’ve seen eyes quite pink and red. I always end up so amazed, that tears of joy are shed. I’ve seen when there’s reunions emotions cloud the eyes. Some cry over sp...
September 11, 2001 was a day I will never forget, but am pained to remember. I lived and went to college in Purchase, NY at the time (20 minutes north of Manhattan). Shortly before 9 a.m. my dorm was alive with the commotion of doors being pounded on alerting everyone to the attack, TV's being turned on to full volume, and gasps/cries as fellow students had the sudden realization that family members and friends could be in imminent danger. In short, it was chaos. At that moment, I made a call to my parents here in Odessa (it...
