Thick And Thin (MM #4608)

The Last Saturday (MM #4605)
This year, I heard a lot of chatter about changing the date we celebrate Halloween. Many want to make it the last Saturday of October rather than always fall on the 31st. It would become a holiday …

Shoplifting (MM #4604)
Over the last couple of years, there's been a lot of discussion about an increase in shoplifting across America. You'd likely think that it's plagued big cities more than smaller ones. And while th…

Cursive (MM #4603)
I talked about this subject many years ago here on the Mason Minute. Cursive writing is something they no longer teach in most schools. My wife and I were discussing this just the other day. Becau…

New Season (MM #4602)
For both the NHL and NBA, the new season is underway. The NHL hit the ice about two weeks ago, while the NBA hit the court on Tuesday. I've never understood why both sports begin playing in October…

The Nineties (MM #4598)
I've long been fascinated with nostalgia. It comes in waves. Back in the mid to late eighties, America yearned for the 1950s. That's how we got American Graffiti, Happy Days, and Grease. Now, we seem…

Visionary (MM #4597)
In today's society, we throw out the term visionary randomly. Is there a criteria for anointing someone with this lofty title? Can you apply it to yourself? Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to s…

Out Late (MM #4592)
I was out late last night. I got home at 8 p.m. No, that's not a typo. I've finally hit that point where a late night is getting home at a time when most young people are just heading out. Like many,…
