I got this woodpecker who started to drill holes in my house.   A lot of them – and he won’t stop.  I tried to drive this  drilling drum machine  off to the neighbors by saying shoo, go next door, but that didn’t work.  So then I started to bang my walls...

I’m so lonely with the self-isolation and self-quarantine stuff, that it’s gotten to the point where I now welcome all robocalls.  Even though I fully realize that these calls are computer generated and most of them are recorded, I’m still so grateful and heartened by...

Now that the Club has closed down for the  Corona virus,  I feel a great wave of relief.  It’s not just that I don’t have to ask the guy across the table if he’s been to Wuhan or Milan … or New Rochelle, and not because I no longer have to worry about whether the guy...

So far, the biggest sacrifice from the self-quarantine has been toilet paper – I don’t have any.  I called the police about the apparent universal shortage, but they insisted it wasn’t what a 911-type call should be.  I begged to differ.  I begged strenuously. Where...

     I’ve got a diet for you. Oh, have I got a diet for you.  It’s fantastic!  Eat whatever you want, and I still guarantee that your waistline will shrink dramatically by 5 inches as you lose 10 to 20 pounds the first week.  By week two, you’ll be as slender as Grace...

     No one wishes to dampen the enthusiasm that arises with hoped-for breakthroughs in Parkinson’s Disease or any other disorders but, however tantalizing some of these reports may be, if they are false or unsubstantiated by scientific evidence...

     I frequently get up at night to take a leak. (Editor: Can you rephrase that? ) (Lao Du: What's wrong with it?) (Editor: It's just not refined. Not genteel, get it?) (Lao Du: Jeez! Touchy, touchy, touchy! So, how do you want me to say it?)...
