An Apology, Of Sorts

JayCee — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:58:17 +0000

The show must go on. I’ve heard it said hundreds (if not thousands) of times: during and after Katrina and Rita; after the Twin Towers fell; after Sandy Hook; after Mickey Shunick; after the death of my mother; and, now, after the Boston Marathon bombings. I was in the process of helping our assistant business [...]

McDonald's Ketchup Cups Open To A Saucer

JayCee — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:00:21 +0000

Did you know that you can open up those little sample cups that McDonald’s uses for ketchup? I distinctly remember how I found out about the “sample” cups that open up to the size of a small saucer: we used to put them into our cupped hand, circled by our thumb and forefinger. When you [...]

As Promised: Borrowed CDs from CJ's Office For The No-Brainer!

JayCee — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 22:09:45 +0000

You’ve heard me talking for the last 2 weeks about how I have been raiding CJ’s office to find CDs to give away, and yesterday, I hit the jackpot!! Now, I can’t say that I stole them from his office, because that would make him ‘upset’… so, it’s going to be ‘borrowed’. (So if [...]

JayCee — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:17:07 +0000

I know that Father’s Day isn’t until tomorrow, but I got a head-start on the meal that we are preparing for my dad: smoked ribs! My mom and dad had 8 kids (2 girls, 6 boys), so that makes it easy for dinner at Dad’s house on Sunday: just assign each person a dish (or [...]

JayCee — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:39:58 +0000

It has been said, and printed, that it was the JEEP that won WWII. We know that it was a combination of things that actually won the war, and that if any one of those things were missing, we might not have won the war. But, nonetheless, the JEEP played an integral part in victory.

There are a several ‘groups’ in Acadiana who meet on a regular basis to enjoy a meal, swap stories, catch up on current events, or try to solve the World’s problems. Becoming a member of one of these groups, or ‘clubs’, might be great for your health (that is: if you eat broccoli and drink [...]

Memorial Day: Not What It Used To Be

JayCee — Mon, 28 May 2012 14:59:40 +0000

Memorial Day in America has changed through the years. As I sit here this morning (Monday, May 28, 2012, 7:12am), I think about how and why Memorial Day has changed through the years. It seems to me that, at the ceremonies I have emceed over the past 10 years or so, the majority of people [...]

Here's Why I Hate Driving In Lafayette, Louisiana

JayCee — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:02:24 +0000

(Okay, hate IS a strong word: let’s go with “don’t always desire” driving in Lafayette.) At the top of the list: Roundabouts. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE roundabouts. I am a proponent of roundabouts. The reason roundabouts are installed is because they can handle more traffic in less time than a four-way-stop intersection or [...]
