What About This?

What About This? – Wayne William Cipriano

Living in the woods certainly has its drawbacks and inconveniences, but at this time of the year you forget them in a heartbeat. We took an autumnal walk around our house the other day and were once again knocked out by the display. The sun was in and out and so we brought our sunglasses…

If you don’t care much about football, this bit isn’t for you. At one time, I would have said the dudes might want to read this and the chicks shouldn’t waste their time, but that chauvinism was pounded out of me about the time my daughter Renee` took eight cents off me in two consecutive…

The other day, I read that more and more people are choosing where to live based on the schools in the area. When I was a kid, the Marine Corps told us where we would live and the schools that were there would have to do. As we were public school kids, it never seemed…

I watch a lot of television during football season, but that is mostly during the daytime, on weekends.

Vinegar! That’s some really great stuff. Everytime Rosalie takes off on a trip and I’m here alone for a while, I naturally start living like a cowboy. Don’t get me wrong, the place doesn’t turn into a disaster zone qualifying for Federal funding. Everything gets replaced appropriately when it is used, but I don’t go…

Our indoor cat, Winston, is getting on in years. He’s been with us for quite a while. We got him from Renee` when she had to give him up. Renee` had Winston’s nails removed, all of them, and we thought that was a capital idea. But, that means she took on responsibility for Winston from…

I heard that the big pharmaceutical company Johnson and Johnson (J&J) got whacked with a fine of over a half-billion dollars the other day. J&J is one of the larger companies that produce these opioid pain medications that have been reported to be killing so many people who have overdosed while using the drugs. I…

What About This…? By Wayne William Cipriano

Here it is well past the middle of August and the grass is still green, not brown, and it’s certainly not crunchy. Wildlife of all varieties are flourishing and the woods at night is a symphony. It may be a little warm for some and a bit wet for others, but overall a very nice…
