Deodorant (MM #5045)

I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials for Lume and Mando, the full-body deodorants. If you watch any TV, it’s hard to miss them. It’s hard to believe that this product was only invented less than a decade ago. How many people are afflicted with body odor issues and need a product like this? I don’t…

Snow Day (MM #5044)

When you’re young, you live for a snow day. That means no school and a chance to go out and play in the white stuff. You could go sledding, build a snowman, and even have snowball fights. But as an adult, there are no snow days. And now that we can work from home, there’s…

Dongles And Adapters (MM #5039)

When you’ve been immersed in audio, video, and technology for as long as I have, you wind up with stacks of obsolete equipment. You also end up with boxes filled with cords, cables, dongles, and adapters. You don’t even need to be a tech geek to end up with all these things. Anyone who’s owned…

Wipers Up (MM #5038)

Over the weekend, we had threats of winter weather. With the potential of freezing rain, my wife and I put our wipers up. It’s a trick I learned years ago. Pulling them off the windshield meant we didn’t have to worry about the wipers sticking to it. Fortunately, there was no ice storm, so it…

Be Cool (MM #5037)

Now that I have so many streaming services, I watch a ton of movies. Many were never released in theaters. Some went straight to DVD, and the more recent movies were made just for the streaming services. I don’t even mind waiting for films to finish their run at the theater. Occasionally, I find a…

Candy Store (MM #5036)

My wife and I were out shopping at Walmart the other night, and as we were getting ready to check out, I grabbed a candy bar. I still enjoy one every now and then, but I try not to have too many. But as I grabbed my Milky Way, my mind wandered to my younger…
