I’m worried about my wife’s memory. Just last week she forgot a key ingredient for dinner.
I found her standing in the kitchen, staring into the pantry with a look of intense concentration; the kind of look you associate with a sage pondering the nature of the universe or someone trying to figure out how best to ask a favor.
"Bother," she muttered.
Seeing no reasonable escape, I took the bait asked what was wrong.
"I thought we had some spaghetti sauce," she said.
You see what I mean about her memory? Taking pity, I offered to go to the store.
"So long as you’re going anyway..." she said. "Could you pick up a French Loaf and some of those ... whatdyacallits for salad ... crunchy-bready things."
"Croutons?"
"Yeah. Here I’ll write you a list."
I refused. It’s her memory that’s a problem, not mine...

My son was involved in an accident last week. Yes, he was driving. No, he doesn’t have a license. Yes, he was on a cell phone at the time. No, he’s not in trouble. The other driver was on a cell phone, too. The only damage was a couple of broken eggs. They were both driving shopping carts at the time.
When people get behind the handle of a shopping cart, they forget anything they know about the rules of the road. The aisles of your local MegaFood store resemble rush hour on the ...

more Cleaning The Fridge -- Short Cummings Audio #28From: shortcomingsaudio.com

When my wife said it was time to clean the fridge, I considered running away to join the circus as the new assistant for Lefty the Lion Tamer, or maybe the French Foreign Legion, or something really extreme like the Boy Scouts.
It’s not the contents of the fridge which terrify me. Sure, the fuzz on the cheese may be old enough to vote in some states and has achieved the low level of sentience normally associated with Political Strategists and the guy who designed the shrink-wrap packi...

Like a lot of small towns in America, my little village of Nowell-by-the-Sea was a poorly planned accident. The only difference is that the buildings average about eight inches in height.
The accident started when my wife sent me to a department store in November and I happened to find that they had their Christmas decorations marked half off. (They wanted to clear the stuff out to make room for the Valentine’s candy.)
