I was having breakfast at one of our local restaurants the other day. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, but the coffee was cold! I called the waitress and told her that the coffee was cold and could I possible have a cup of hot coffee. The waitress stared at me for a few minutes and …
Bah-dah-boom. I would never buy an encyclopedia — my wife knows everything. Most hospitals have the recovery room in the wrong place — it should be near the cashier’s office! **** Do you sleep well at night? Young people are so fortunate — they always seem to get a good night’s sleep. Young people go …
There is one thing that even today is a mystery to me. This concerned a display in front of Cefalu’s Pressing and Cleaning Shop in Morgan City. There was a barrel with a mimic of “Jigs” (Jig’s and Maggie cartoon in the comic papers) in the barrel in his underwear waiting for his suit to …
I was cruising along on Second Street in Berwick and all of a sudden I saw Charlie Savoie on a tall stepladder, painting his house. He has a lovely home that was originally the home of Mr. & Mrs. Weaton Bowman. It is built of solid cypress and is certainly a home to be proud …

I met Clevis LeBlanc, an old friend of mine from Stephensville at the store months ago. I said, “Clevis, you look prosperous and happy.” He said, “Yes – there are three things in my life that I owe that to and enjoy the most: (1) the day I got married; (2) the day I got …
Embarrassment? Yes! My wife asked me to hang some clothes out on the line, since she had to leave the house hurriedly and did not have time to do this herself. Of course, I did that small chore for her. A little while later that same day, we went walking on the walking trail. Well, …
I know a friend of mine from Morgan City – his initials are M.T. – who was on a strict diet. He lost so much weight that every time he yawns, his pants fall down. **** Money doesn’t go as far as it use to go; but at least it goes faster! **** During the …
