    Looking at the new Hallmark Channel holiday movie lineup this year I can see it’s all the same retreads of Christmas movies with all the tired themes of big town girl and small town boy.

    Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel. He was fired for his schtick. It’s not that I particularly care about Jimmy Kimmel or his brand of commentary.

    Coming out of the winter slumber, it’s already time to start thinking about summer vacation. We’re going to Greece; but, that’s not vacationing. That’s an obligation to see family. We just don’t know where to vacation this year?!?!? So far, Slovenia tops our list. It seems to me that vacationing has become a lost art.…

    It’s that time of year again when I convince myself that life is not interesting unless I double down and commit to running another marathon. I finished the Athens marathon a few years back and left that experience knowing I could do better.
