The headline grabbed me. It read: “Ten Reasons You Should Never, Ever Take a Cruise.” Here’s a link to the article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/article/10-reasons-you-should-never-ever-take-a-cruise/ss-AAtDX9O?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1 The Drakette and I like cruising very much. I thought, What reasons could there possibly be for not taking a cruise? So here are their reasons, with my comments: Dangerous fellow passengers. Yeah? And […]

It means In Search of Lost Time. It’s a 7-volume novel published in 1913 and written by Marcel Proust. Tonight, while falling down a YouTube rabbit hole, I found my past. You see, every afternoon, from 1955 to 1959, I would sit in front of the television and watch the Mickey Mouse Club. From the […]

I am a child of the 50s. I grew up with slinky, pick-up sticks, jacks, hula hoops, Candy Land, Mr. Potato Head, and those little clear plastic rockets that you fill with water and pump with air and almost shoot someone’s eye out. If my mother hadn’t thrown away my baseball cards when I went […]

I see it more and more: people parking like idiots in a handicap space. Here’s a perfect example in the Zachary Winn Dixie parking lot. (I enhanced the lines so make them more visible.) Is this the way you’re supposed to park? I don’t think so! Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Hey, Drake! What […]

You know what a concert contract “rider” is, right. It’s a document whose clauses outline what the talent demands in the way of on-stage and/or backstage perks. Everyone is familiar with Van Halen’s famous demand for a backstage bowl of M&Ms with the brown ones removed. (I blogged about the actual reason, as explained by […]

According to consumer advocate Jeff Rossen, if you have an iPhone or an Android, chances are that every single thing you do is being tracked, location by location. I learned how to fix the problem. Using my own iPhone, here’s what you do: From your iPhone’s home page, select SETTINGS: Next, select PRIVACY: […]

The LSU Fightin’ Tigers have fought and clawed their way back to Omaha, home of the College World Series. Throughout the regular season, the Regionals, and the Super Regional, our Tigers have overcome adversity and shown what champions are made of. Last night’s victory, which punched the Tigers’ ticket to their 18th CWS, was no […]
