They have been unusually busy lately, the “wrong number” scammers that I’ve been talking about for awhile. I don’t know if they need to entrap more for some holiday quota or what’s going on; last weekend I had 15 of them from Friday to Sunday. Some of them are fascinating from the perspective that, beforeContinue reading “Catching Up On SpamScams”

Remembering Aunt Catherine
She was my great aunt. She was married to Bill Hinton who owned a trucking business and who apparently made quite a lot of money because they had a huge house slightly outside of York, PA with a huge basement, a chord organ in the living room, a pottery studio, and most importantly, the pool!Continue reading “Remembering Aunt Catherine”
High School Reunion (Part 4)
And now, on to the reunion! I first heard about it from my cousin who had gotten the Save the Date card. They didn’t have my current address but I did then get the real announcement. (And imagine my surprise when my cousin didn’t show up.) In Immaculate Misconceptions, I described the 20th reunion andContinue reading “High School Reunion (Part 4)”
High School Reunion (Part 3)
I’ve always been somewhat of a planner, so I try not to walk into a situation and find unexpected problems. Sometimes that works; sometimes it doesn’t. I wanted to stay at the Yorktowne Hotel for the reunion. When growing up in York it always seemed quite posh. Since I stayed in numerous excellent hotels whenContinue reading “High School Reunion (Part 3)”
High School Reunion (Part 2)
After meeting up with Martin, my fiancee Joyce and I ventured to meet up with other graduates of the York Catholic class of 1975. A preview, if you will, was being held at Vito’s Pizza. I was surprised that Vito’s still exists; we would go there after high school sports games over 50 years ago.Continue reading “High School Reunion (Part 2)”
High School Reunion (Part 1)
This past weekend, I ventured back to my hometown of York, PA for my 50th high school reunion. I went to York Catholic and graduated, yes, I can’t believe it, 50 years ago. When I taught Intro to Theatre, I always invited my students, in their first class introductions, to tell me what their hometownContinue reading “High School Reunion (Part 1)”
Welcome to My Blog, AI Scum
I still don’t know if these “wrong number” texts are AI, bots, or real people just sitting behind a laptop somewhere in a Third World country… I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I’m getting a little tired of the rote responses. Improvising with them just isn’t as much fun anymore.
Dozens and Dozens
So I’ve gotten that many of those “wrong number” texts but, like the oysters in Alice in Wonderland, they keep coming quick and fast. Meanwhile, I keep trying to find ways to play with them and/or short circuit them with the weapon of improv. Here are the two latest examples. My last comment stopped theContinue reading “Dozens and Dozens”
Manual Transmission (Part 2)
In my last blog post I told a story of manual sex. Here’s another one in the same vein; reader discretion again advised. As a counselor at a summer camp, I met a young female counselor (actually 11 years younger than me) whom I found myself very attracted to. Apparently she felt the same, becauseContinue reading “Manual Transmission (Part 2)”
A Glimpse of Despair, Glimpses of Enlightenment
Only once have I ever experienced a moment of despair. In my optimism, I hope that most people never have even one, but I may be misguided about that. Mine occurred during the healing process from my retinal detachment. I had avoided opening my eye since the surgery, and for the most part from lookingContinue reading “A Glimpse of Despair, Glimpses of Enlightenment”
