I was delighted to fly into Portland
Everyone likes to pretend to be an expert, but when it comes to vintage toys and classic action figures, I actually am an expert. I am one of the most highly regarded toy experts in the country. You might have seen me on Antiques Roadshow once or twice. When someone wants to sell their old […]
I finally got the chance to go to Las Vegas
Once I got to Las Vegas I realized that my only problem was that I was scheduled for a one-day trip, and that was not long enough! Once the city of Las Vegas had me entranced with its garish lights and killer music, I knew I had to extend my trip for a couple of […]
One guy got in trouble for driving under the influence of marijuana
My baseball coach talked to me about not using marijuana while I was a member of the team program. The guy stressed that marijuana was not allowed and he told me that anyone caught with marijuana would be kicked off the team. There was not going to be any warning or strikes, you were going […]
My mom gets panic attacks when we go shopping
My mom gets really bad panic attacks when she is in large crowds. She doesn’t really like to leave the house unless she is going to the doctor’s office. I love visiting with my mom, but every once in a while, I try to get her out of the house. I didn’t think the mall […]

I forgot to bring a heavy winter coat with me
The girls were all really cool Last December, I went to visit my friend that lives in Denver. When I left my home in Miami, the temperature outside was 75°. I knew it was going to be chilly in Denver, so I packed a sweater. I did not bring a heavy winter coat with me. […]
My life changed very quickly after my career ended
I spent 10 years in the military and while I was there, I learned how to repair boilers, air conditioners, and other heating and cooling systems. I worked on a battleship and I also worked in the field. I’ve worked on a number of different types of heating and cooling systems. I was not happy […]
I like Orland Park, but I hate to commute every day
Orland Park is a charming little city located in Cook county, just outside of Chicago. I really like Orland park, because of the inexpensive real estate. My wife and I moved here a couple of years ago and we bought a house. We never would have been able to buy the house if we had […]
