We are now in a new fall season with many changes due to COVID. Tom Bergeron is gone. I miss him. I still miss Brooke Burke. I don’t miss Erin Andrews. If someone replaced Tyra Banks, I wouldn’t object. There is no audience and the outfits of Tyra Banks often overwhelms the screen. She definitely…

Green with envy, I put you there, to defrost and drink you later. I do other things, gobble my time, chomp away. Night falls and it’s morning again, unaware I left you there. I begin my day, hammer away, the weight of my life disappears. Orange with no emergency, I go outside, check on the…

The most abused drug in the world is caffeine. There’s about 47 mg of caffeine in 8 ounces of black tea and 96 mg of caffeine in 8 ounces of coffee. Green tea has less caffeine at 28 mg and obviously decaf has the least amount of caffeine. Emerson Spartz flew from Chicago to London…
