I don’t know when it started, but I’ve loved trivia games since I was just a youngster. It may have been from watching Jeopardy with original host Art Fleming in the 60s. When the game Trivial Pursuit came out in the 80s, I memorized the answers to 4 or 5 of the available versions of…

For years, doctors have said that sitting is terrible for our health. But, like many people who work in an office, I do a lot of sitting. I spend most of my day on the computer, working on the internet, sending emails, working spreadsheets, creating slide decks, and in Zoom conferences. There’s not much standing…

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and this year feels different in many ways. Sure, the contest between the Chiefs and the 49ers is the big story. Many people will tune in just for the commercials or Usher’s performance at halftime. All of that amounts to a regular year. But we have to add the Taylor Swift…

Like most kids back in the day, I loved Saturday morning cartoons. One of my favorites was a short-lived racing-themed show called Wacky Races. It only lasted one season, but like most cartoons of the day, it lived in repeats for many years. It’s the place where we first saw Dick Dastardly and his mischievous…

On Monday, we learned that a long-time friend and former co-worker had passed away over the weekend. The world of country music insiders is small, so the tributes flowed on Facebook.

Orkin, the pest control and extermination service, has just released a ranking of the top U.S. cities for bed bug infestations. Some of the largest cities, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, are near the top of the listfor bed bugs. That makes sense. Nashville came in at 30 on the bed bug ranker. Of…

Password sharing is nothing new. It’s been around as long as the internet. But as many subscription sites look for ways to increase revenues in recent years, they’ve started cracking down. Netflix made a big deal about it a little over a year ago. Since they began to issue warnings, subscription numbers have increased. Hulu…

We were discussing snacks the other day and got into a discussion about graham crackers. For most people, they’re just something you combine with chocolate and marshmallows to make s’mores. They’re often used to make the crust for pies and cheesecakes. When I was younger, we always seemed to have a box in the pantry….
