Zip is still available. I am called Andy. I am a seven month old male Bull Terrier mis. I have know many hungry days and some pretty rough treatment. I am doing so much better now but I will need a lot of TLC before I am the nice little dog that I am meant to be. They have given …

“Pay it Forward” and “A Random act of Kindness”. These are two phrases worth some serious thought and action. These phrases can be better defined as doing something for someone without expecting anything in return. An example might be paying for someone’s cup of coffee or breakfast anonymously.

I love food. I guess in way or another, we all do! I mean, it keeps us alive, after all! Like many children growing up, I was a picky eater. Or, in the words of my father, “you don’t eat enough to keep a bird alive.” I was not a fan of vegetables unless it involved corn, peas, carrots, potatoes …

Published: Three Rivers Commercial-News Saturday, December 24, 2011 8:09 AM EST I am not a fan of shopping unless it is for me. If I am shopping for anyone other than myself, I prefer to do so with a detailed list in my hand. I hate making decisions when they involve someone else. Finding an item I think that the …

This will be my final column of 2011. I’m taking the rest of the year off and gathering my thoughts. It shouldn’t take me too long. As a matter of fact, I’ll have another column ready by next Tuesday. Last Thursday was a special day for me. After my annual physical, my wife and I went out to celebrate the …
