Those that have read FT for awhile know that I like to make my New Year’s Resolutions around Thanksgiving. This way, when I break them (usually takes about 2 weeks) I can sit back and enjoy watching others white nuckling theirs.

Friday, Frank of Green’s Camera World called and said, “Come buy me a cup of coffee.” I went (really didn’t have a choice, he’s our biggest advertiser). I checked out his new location, had coffee. It was pretty uneventful. Saturday, we repeated the process except it was Frank’s turn to buy. I’m kinda a coffee [...]

Around 1:30 on Saturday, I was feeling a little hungry so I stopped at Red’s donuts in Seaside for a feel good snack (shhh! Don’t tell the Doctor). When I got inside, Jose and Maribel were sitting at a table devouring what looked like a smorgasbord of Mexican and deli foods. Jose pointed to the [...]

There’s a list I keep in my head of things that make me smile. There’s not a cute baby on it, or a puppy, not even a kitten with its head in a shoe. One of the things that makes my funny bone twitch is the fraternity of decision makers in the world. I don’t [...]

No time for humor, gotta get ready for the hurricane! I know I live in California but tell that to my emotional self. I bought extra candles, a flash light and bottled water just in case. I’ve talked to my sister and several friends so many times looking for updates in N.Y. that they don’t [...]

This month starts the eighth year of Foolish Times/The Fool. Thank you to the readers who remembered and sent B’day gifts! But unfortunately, I must decline them. A few were so special I thought a mention would be in order. Bob S. and Jan R. sent me their PG&E bills. 17 of you (too many [...]

In anticipation of the end of the world, I allowed myself to procrastinate more than usual. After all, no world, no issue. In light of our shortened deadline, we threw together what I believe to be the best issue ever. On a sadder note (wink), our editor, Mike T., is stepping down from the ivory [...]

I first of all want to thank my mother. Without her constant nagging, screaming, and you-could-do-better perfectionist philosophy I wouldn’t have developed this wacked-out reality that makes people laugh. Thanks, Ma! Next comes the kindergarten teacher who kept me after school the very first day. Way to go, Mrs. L! There are too many to [...]

I owe a couple of people out there an apology. You see, when it says the bit about sending submissions by snail mail, we didn’t take into consideration that I go to the post office. Here’s how it plays out after it reaches the P.O. Box. Sometimes I go daily (very rare) to check, mostly [...]

I hate the snow! After many years of getting stuck, shoveling out after being plowed in for the umpteenth time, traffic jams, accidents, falling down, etc., it felt great when I woke up at 5 a.m. and found out NY had 18 inches on the ground. I couldn’t resist calling a few friends and relatives [...]

This year I made and broke my New Year’s resolutions before Thanksgiving (might be a world record)! Call Guinness! Better yet, I think I’ll go have one at the Crown and one at the Duck and one at Duffy’s and…. Just remember, whether you’re having a happy, peaceful, joyous, nonpartisan, non-existing, plain brown wrapper type [...]

Procrastination is my friend! Procrastination is my friend! I have spent my life mastering the art of procrastination. I can safely say that if a degree were offered I would have a Ph.D. added to my name. (Hmm. Nice ring to it. DR. Head Fool.) A perfect example would be today. I have roughly a [...]

I’m getting fed up with tip jars. It seems that wherever I go, someone wants my money for doing their job. Used to be we tipped for things like wait staff, haircuts, taxi rides, etc. Now the list has expanded to anyone who has room on a desk or countertop to put a jar with [...]

Let’s get to it. I’ve been waved at, said hello to, given the finger, and shaken hands so many times this week by people I don’t know or can’t remember knowing. I mustered what little of my mental power left to try and figure out this conundrum. The answer eluded me until my sister called [...]

So here we are, celebrating our seventh birthday. My campaign manager took off with my bribe money, so it doesn’t look like I can buy enough votes to get elected. The new restaurant page is getting some action; let me know what you think about it. Better yet, let the restaurants know. I’m done.

Being the vice chairman of the Procrastinators Anonymous group of the greater Monterey area (if I ever fill out the paperwork) poses a huge problem for a publisher. To write the 150 words or so for this note takes me a month. You see, I’m also a writer with lifelong writer’s block. So that, combined [...]
