Posted on April 23, 2012 by pegoleg

  Cross that bridge when you come to it. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Que sera, sera. Don’t borrow trouble. These are all good mottos, but not for me. I’ve always been a worrywart.  I’ll get a troublesome “what-if” … Continue reading →

Posted on April 9, 2012 by pegoleg

I wrote this piece last year and WordPress was kind enough to Freshly Press it.  Despite the publicity, Washington never called about implementing these great ideas. If you’re chummy with any of our elected officials, pass this on, OK? What’s wrong … Continue reading →

Didja Hear About This?

Posted on March 29, 2012 by pegoleg
