As we were doing exercises this morning to begin work, the nighttime supervisor walked by and said, "ah, Old Spice." How did he know? And how could he smell it?

It pays to do some trouble-shooting if something is not working right. My DVD player was not working right. The display kept reading "wrong disc."

I heard a disturbing news story about a drunk driver today. A man from Canada was convicted of his 20th DUI. The man was stopped for his first DUI in 1967. The latest judge sentenced the 64-year-old man to four and a half years in prison and banned him from ever driving again. But having no license... Sign in to see full entry.

In one of my earlier blogs, I mentioned that I do not watch television. I have to go out to watch TV. There is a place close by to do that--namely the apartment complex exercise gym.
