I spoke last night at the E. C. Green Cancer Center at Jennie Stuart Medical Center in Hopkinsville, KY (about 60 miles north of Nashville, TN).

Continue ReadingIn my last post, I mentioned that I switched my insurance carrier from Liberty Mutual to Progressive because of the $2400 I saved in premiums. Another unique feature with Progressive is their Snapshot program. If you choose to participate, they send you a Snapshot device that attaches to your car. I assume it’s some sort […]

It was a wonderful walk down memory lane taking me back to my childhood in the mid 1960’s when I savored both the humor and the music of this ground-breaking variety show. What I did not know […]

On the way to Bermuda we had a stop in Newark – which, by the way, is one sure way to make your final destination, Bermuda or otherwise, look fantastic. We […]
