Glynn Moore: What’s with all the birds at Christmastime?
Whenever a store clerk tells me “Happy holidays” after I complete some Christmas shopping, I like to stop in midtracks, look puzzled and ask innocently: “What holidays are you talking about?” → Read More
Liam Neeson should make an action film called Taking Care of Grandchildren
Recently I read that actor Liam Neeson is giving up making action movies because he feels he’s just too darn old. The news article gave his age – and I just laughed. → Read More
Glynn Moore: Standard time needs more day, less night
Over Thanksgiving, sometime after we had loosened our belts and before we had voted for another round of pie, we started complaining about the paucity of daylight lately. A couple of relatives in our household said they couldn’t wait for “real” time to return. → Read More

I don’t know about you, but by the time the weekend rolls around, I’m ready for a nap and not much else. → Read More
Glynn Moore: Missing jury duty is enough to make a grown man cry
Because my wife retired after a career in advertising and because I studied it in journalism school, I have always paid attention to ads and commercials. One of the best was on the back of a magazine on the newsstand – Playboy, I believe (I used to read it just for the pictures) – that showed a bottle of Crown Royal whisky on the floor, broken, with the golden liquid running everywhere.

Glynn Moore: Halloween frights can last for years

Glynn Moore: Not even a hospital should have caged children and a magician

Glynn Moore: Go outside today, look up and enjoy nature’s finest
I remember reading stories of the lines circling the building where Babe Ruth’s body lay in public view in 1948. Men took their children, even those too young to realize the import of the moment, held them high enough to see the great Yankee, and told them, “Remember this day. You are looking on a great, great man.” → Read More
Glynn Moore: I love partying just so long as it’s in the rear-view mirror
Do you love to entertain, to live at Party Central and have people in and out of your house day and night, giving “round the clock” all new meaning? → Read More

Recently I got the notion to clean out my car, but the very first things I happened across were in the door pocket: nuts from the three trees in the yard of the house I grew up in. The walnut, the hickory, the oak. → Read More
Grandparents are too important to be turned away by the feds
There’s been a lot of rumbling lately about whether grandparents of certain American citizens should be allowed to immigrate to this country. It was only this month that the State Department caved and said grandparents may get visas and get visitation with their loving grandchildren. → Read More
My childhood school remains with me in many ways
School is out and all the children are happy. The parents, not so much, but school wasn’t made for us adults. → Read More
Glynn Moore: Don’t let fake grandchildren take your hard-earned money
After writing last week about a North Augusta couple being swindled out of $4,000 by a crime known as the grandparent scam, I heard from a number of readers who also had been taken or nearly were. → Read More
Grandparents scam takes North Augusta couple for $4,000
Beware of calls from people claiming to be your grandchildren and wanting you to bail them out of jail with gift cards. It’s a scam! → Read More
