A (lack of) flying nightmare comes true on the tarmac

You know how you read the stories in the paper of poor, tortured souls who board a plane for a one-hour flight and six hours later they are still sitting on the tarmac in a plane full of people who have not eaten anything but a piece of wood disguised as a granola bar and whose deodorant has failed thanks to the hot, Texas sun and the lack of A/C in the sweltering plane?

Golf Tips: Stroke types need the right club

Many golfers continue to try to improve their putting stroke every time they are on the course. As I shared in previous tips, there are two basic stokes. The first stroke is straight back and through. The second stroke is slightly inside on the backstroke and follow-through. Both strokes are good, but you need to know which stroke is more natural for you.

Googling illnesses a big mistake

Recently, I caught a mild cold. Now this would have been a normal thing, except that I am not a medical doctor and therefore could not remember if I was supposed to starve my cold or feed it. Also? I thought maybe it was allergies and not really a cold and I couldn’t even begin to know if I starved my allergies, fed them or if I should just take an allergy pill and stay away from the backyard for a few days.

Enjoy a safe and fun Halloween downtown

Downtown Morgan Hill holds an annual “Safe Trick or Treat Night” that has grown into one of the most popular Halloween events in the South Valley. Several blocks of Monterey Street are closed-off to vehicle traffic, and downtown merchants and other groups come out to give candy to about 3,000 youngsters guided by their parents. MHAT-19’s volunteers will be part of the Halloween sweet treat give-away on Oct. 31. If you happen to be there, please stop by and say “Boo!” to our crew.

Big tobacco and ballot-box budgeting

The June 5 primary ballot is a simple affair. It should take just a few minutes to mark my choices on my absentee ballot. But I’m stuck on one vote: Proposition 29, which would levy a $1 per pack tax on cigarettes to fund cancer research.

Comfort food of fall

Fall is upon us and soon, the familiar chill I have missed will set in. Around the beginning of October, I think about fresh apples and comfort food. On their own, they are delicious, but have you ever considered putting them together? This week, I feature a recipe where I have done just that.
