Retailers across the country are cheering “Thank God It’s Friday (Black Friday, No Less)!”

I was only nine years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. Coming home from school at Halls Cross Roads in Aberdeen, Maryland, I was met by my mother at the bus which had arrived late because I was on flag duty, getting the opportunity to take down the school [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!
Just took the pumpkin pie out of the oven and boy does it smell yummy. Got the cornish game hen (x4) all roasted, last night and I’ll heat up the rest around lunchtime.
It’ll be a laid back Thanksgiving at Chez Dizzy and in that spirit I decided to make my Ten Post Round-Up a [...]
