October 26, 2012 It's that time of year when all those lovely leaves have fallen and cluttered your yard with a decidedly un-lovely mess. If you have a power blower and leaf vac, good for you. For the rest of us it's picking up the rake and getting down to business. Here are some useful tips on raking safely and avoiding stress and strain on your back compliments of BusinessWire.com.
December 15, 2011 Here's another celebrity birthday during the "Frog Days of Fall". Comedian Tim Conway is 78 years old today. Conway appeared in a number of Disney films with Don Knotts, and got his big break in the 1960s TV sitcom "McHale's Navy".
December 15, 2011 Sometimes while watching TV during the "Frog Days of Fall", the sentiments expressed in a TV commercial may capture the spirit of the holidays. Year's ago in the McShea household, we recorded "A Charlie Brown Christmas", and one of the commercials on our homemade tape featured a little girl and Ronald McDonald. It got to the point where we preferred to watch that recorded version of the Charlie Brown show, so that we could see the McDonald's TV commercial with Lindsay and Ronald.
December 13, 2011 The celebrity birthdays just keep on coming during the "Frog Days of Fall". It's hard to believe after all of her hit songs, awards and international fame, Taylor Swift is only 22 years old today! For such a young woman, she seems to have songwriting talents and show business savvy beyond her years. Her new "Speak Now Tour-Live" CD/DVD debuted last month, just in time for holiday gift giving.
December 12, 2011 Another celebrity birthday during the "Frog Days of Fall". Today one of the most successful TV game show hosts, Bob Barker is 88 years old. I remember as a kid watching him host "Truth or Consequences", a TV game show that allowed Barker to use his quick wit and comic skills. It was a show not about winning money or big prizes, but a fun show with stunts and gags, and very funny.
December 12, 2011 During these final few "Frog Days of Fall", the Christmas shopping really starts to heat up. Today is "Green Monday", a day many online shoppers recognize as the day to start ordering those gifts to assure delivery by Christmas.
December 12, 2011 During these remaining "Frog Days of Fall", we could all use a little comic relief, especially on a Monday. It's less than two weeks until Christmas, and there's all that remaining shopping, wrapping and everything else, so let's begin the week with a few laughs.
December 10, 2011 We always like a real Christmas tree for the holidays. The other day, my wife and I got our McShea family Christmas tree (no, not an adventure like getting the Griswold family Christmas treee), but we did get the perfect Christmas tree. During these later "Frog Days of Fall", for those of you looking for the perfect Christmas tree for your home, I have a few suggestions.
December 9, 2011 We all want to know what to get those on our list for Christmas (regardless of whether they've been naughty or nice). In these remaining shopping days during the late "Frog Days of Fall", what are they going to get you?
December 2, 2011 During the "Frog Days of Fall", things may get more hectic at work with the holidays on the way - planning time off, shopping, getting the work done...you name it. And some people may wish they had a more satisfying job (with today's economy, most of us are just glad to have a job).
December 1, 2011 Now that it's December 1st, we may think that it's winter, but it's still the "Frog Days of Fall". And with 24 shopping days left until Christmas, you may be doing some of that right now on your lunch hour during "Greg's Grill". Let's step back a bit and ponder some food for thought.
November 30, 2011 'Tis the season for Season's Greetings, and that may come in the form of Christmas cards. During the later half of the "Frog Days of Fall", many of you may be sending out those holiday greeting cards, or not. I remember when I was about 4 years old, my grandmother and mother sitting at the dining room table with a list of names and addresses of dozens of people that I never hear of. The reason? They were writing out their Christmas cards.
