Deviled Eggs (MM #4400)

For many people, including myself, deviled eggs were always a part of the big Easter meal. It makes sense. Since the eggs we searched for on Easter morning were hard-boiled, we had to consume them quickly. I always thought it was odd the ‘deviled’ eggs were a big part of a church holiday. Of course,…

Cute (MM #4398)

Some words paint pictures in our minds. One of those words, in my opinion, is cute. But the one thing I’ve always thought is that it paints a unique picture for each one of us. What I visualize when I think cute isn’t the same thing you see. And even though we envision something different,…

Read The News (MM #4393)

I can’t count the hours I spend online every week. I probably spend ten to twelve hours between my client and personal pages on social media. But I also try to make time daily to read the news online. The number of stories varies every day. But I know one day of the year that…

Agent Elvis (MM #4392)

Recently Netflix added a new ten-episode cartoon series called Agent Elvis. And as you’d guess from the title, it stars the man once called the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. It portrays the cartoon version of Presley as both a famous singer and a secret agent. But the fascinating part about the show…

Bank Failures (MM #4390)

Recently, bank failures have been in the news. Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse shut their doors when they couldn’t cover some transactions. Most of us don’t understand the nuances of the banking industry, so our first response is to panic. A couple of days ago, Chase Bank had some problems with their website, so…
