Daily Comic Journal: May 15, 2023: "The Forgetfulness Of Age."
My mom, at her age, still lives alone in the house I grew up in and she’s able to get around in it very well. When I’m over there visiting she’ll often ask me something that she asked me some 10 minutes earlier, but that’s fairly normal for a person her age. Other than that she’s very sharp, so I don’t believe it’s not something worse than old age. But, I’ll keep an eye on this, in case it does…
Daily Comic Journal: May 3, 2023: "It's My Turn To Help Her Now."
I was fortunate, when I was a kid, that if I needed a ride to a friends house or to a store or to a sporting event, that my mom was able to drive me to and from, and she did it countless times. Now that I’m back in this area, just a few miles from her house, I’m able to be here to, if not take her where she needs to go, but to be able to do her shopping for her. That’s what we do when they get…
Food Week May 23, 2025
Welcome to Food Week May 23, 2025. Big, rich edition after the Restaurant show. Lots of Brazilian news on cattle, soybeans, beneficial bacteria and even lemonade. And a lot more too. Enjoy. Or should I say aproveite! MACRO Inflation is steady but economists warn of coming spike due to tariffs. Few people realize this but Brazil has overtaken the US in soybean production. Kraft Heinz…
Daily Comic Journal: October 9, 2022: "Give The People What They Want And They'll Come - In Droves!"
When I’d stop in at an Aldi (there was one near my house when I lived in Audubon) I’d just pick up the grape juice (under $3.00 a bottle) and a couple other items, but that’d be it. But over the last few months when I’d stop in I’d see other food items that I’d get at other grocery stores at a substantial lower price. Yes, some of those food products were their store brand, but when I’d try them…
Daily Comic Journal: May 10, 2022: "Gentlemen, Fix This Engine!"
It’s natural that when people get older that they tend to be more forgetful, that it’s not a just a sign of dementia. Other than the normal signs of aging, for a 93 year old my mom can still accomplish a lot. Like I said, she still drives, but like my father did, I hope when she realizes that se shouldn’t be driving anymore then she will just hand over the keys.

The Quarter
The last few weeks have been tough. Illness swept through our house right before Christmas, leaving our plans unfulfilled for the third year in a row and disappointment stalked our children. However, everything with regards to the holiday turned out great. We were isolated but happy and we all recovered fairly quickly, thanks to modern medicine. It would be easy to say that my heavy heart was due…

Daily Comic Journal: March 26, 2021: “The Wrath Of Missing Grape.”
When I first noticed that there would be periods when the stock of Grape Juice (only the purple Grape Juice BTW, the white Grape Juice is always available) would be sold out, I thought that maybe it was because it would coincide with a jewish holiday. But I quickly realized that that wouldn’t make sense, because the Aldi Grape Juice isn’t Kosher. So, maybe they sell out for stretches during the…

Advent Calendar Time
Growing up we always had the traditional Advent calendar. The ones I remember from my childhood days were nothing like the Advent Calendars of today. The ones I remember definitely had a Christian theme to them and the countdown to Christmas was more of a countdown to Baby Jesus’ birthday. Ours were the simple ones, constructed of heavy paper or card stock, with little flaps that we opened each…
