Groundhog Day recently passed us by a couple of days ago on February 2nd, and while we were all trying to decipher what Punxsutawney Phil saw or didn’t see – it promptly snowed in the northeast. There’s something scary about an entire country planning their lives on the prediction of a groundhog. Punxy Phil actually looks like a better candidate… Read more »
We’re part way into the first month of the New Year and it’s that time to start looking at the variety of self-improvement resolutions we made just a couple of weeks ago which are slowly and inevitably becoming obsolete. I’m referring to the “start exercise,” “lose weight,” “eat better,” and “get my finances in order,” optimism which comes with the… Read more »
Quite the week here at WallyWorld. We experienced a series of events which significantly changed the face of how we get along, treat each other with respect and build or tear down trust.

My introduction to the newspaper game came at a young age in my hometown in somewhat rural Westchester County, New… Read more »
When one gets older the concept of cooking comes much more easily. Like life, much of developing one’s cooking ability comes with a bit of “in the field” experience and a great degree of common sense. Common sense is a learned trait though, as this story will confirm… I went to a small college in Western Pennsylvania. Quite a venture… Read more »

“I don’t know what’s more exhausting about parenting: the getting up early, or acting like you know what you’re doing.” ― Jim Gaffigan, from his book, Dad Is Fat With Father’s Day upon us, it seemed appropriate to have a Father’s Day post. Aside from Jim Gaffigan’s musings on fatherhood, I’m inspired also by Jimmy Fallon who tweeted this week… Read more »
Hi everybody, my name is WallyWord…I’m a blogging addict, and it’s been seven months since my last post. Impressive as it may be to give something up for seven months; this particular stay of addiction isn’t encouraging. With a job which takes me daily to the bottom of Manhattan and is a time-eating large commute – looking at the computer… Read more »
