It’s true; Marie Osmond’s divorce is where it all went sideways.

Opec is going to cut production, so expect gas to start going up again.

35+ Years later: It is now commonplace to have babies outside of marriage; in fact, it’s encouraged. Dick Clark is no more. But ducks have made a comeback Marie Osmond hasn’t, but ducks have!

the more things change, the more they stay the same

I met her, and her mother,, in an elevator in Chicago many years ago. I was at a training session for some piece of equipment or other. Got back to the hotel and found a gaggle of teenage girls at the elevator. I politely shoved my way through. Sure enough, they were on the elevator. We chatted for the short ride to their floor. Nice folks
