Anyone who has tried to be funny knows that there are times when it just doesn’t work. Here is a hilarious example of an Australian news anchor who tries to tell the Dalai Lama a Dalai Lama joke.
Continue ReadingI 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). For a rural area, this center is at the top of its game with state-of-the-art technology and some of the most warm, caring, and professional staff I’ve ever met. […]
Continue ReadingAlmost two years ago, I had a motorcycle accident. I suffered a deep cut in my chin but otherwise I was OK. My motorcycle was not so lucky and I decided, for superstitious as well as practical reasons, to sell it rather than to repair it. My insurance carrier was Progressive. You may know their […]
