Mr. Moose's Story Book: December 2008
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Monday, December 8, 2008. It is said that off screen Zeppo was the funniest Marx Brother. During a conversation with a Froose (a friend of moose) this week, I was accused of being "anti." The charge stated that I intentionally take up a contrary view on popular opinions for the sake of being difficult. I spoke to several Frooses and a couple of Rooses (relatives of moose). Some say they see an element of this in my personality, others were more kind. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mr. Moose's Story Book: April 2014
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Monday, April 14, 2014. Here’s a fact: anthropologists claim that man domesticated the dog around 30,000 years ago. Here’s a second fact: zoologists say that every breed of domesticated dog in the world today are descendants of the grey wolf. The second fact makes the first sound crazy. Irving died, and our oldest child was so distraught that it was years before we could even think about getting a new pet. One Sunday, we went out as a family to buy a new cat. We came home w...8220;...

Mr. Moose's Story Book: "It's great to be back here at Macy's"
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-great-to-be-back-here-at-macys.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Saturday, October 16, 2010. It's great to be back here at Macy's". I had a rough week. Then yesterday, I walked in to Macy's with Mrs. Green Thumb and the oldest ping pong ball. Music was blasting. At first, it seemed that the system that piped the music into the store was broken, because IT WAS BLASTING. The song that was playing was Elvis Presley singing "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." My oldest turned to me and asked, "Can you do something about this? He sang "Jailhouse R...

Mr. Moose's Story Book: The Facebook Communication Generation Gap
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2010/10/facebook-communication-generation-gap.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Tuesday, October 19, 2010. The Facebook Communication Generation Gap. Fast forward 40 years: My parents are now older than the Archie Bunker character, and my oldest is the age of Mike. The generation gap is now more about language then ideals. The Internet has made communication between the age groups easier. There is no question that my parents know more about my kids and their daily lives than my grandparents knew about my brothers and I. 8220;I didn’t know, Mom.”. 8220;Her Face...

Mr. Moose's Story Book: Sad But True
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2010/10/sad-but-true.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Today, my mother had an exploratory procedure at a central Jersey hospital. After a day in the OR and recovery, my baby brother and I helped our parents into their car before we headed back north. Mom turned to us and said, “Thanks…”. Wait, I forgot the first part. 8220;Follow me please.”. Halfway down a hallway, she unlocked a door and asked us to go in. As she walked away, she turned and said, “Please don’t close the door.”. She may have asked this bas...

Mr. Moose's Story Book: Zen and the Art of Garage Cleaning
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2010/10/zen-and-art-of-garage-cleaning.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Monday, October 4, 2010. Zen and the Art of Garage Cleaning. For fifteen years, I have wanted to build a Zen rock garden behind our house. My wife has said she would support this decision, but only after I clean the garage. Fall of 2010, our backyard is still void of any river stones. I am still in the garage. I am now content. No longer will I hide my face as the neighbors ask, "Still cleaning? I will be able to answer in the only way a student of Zen should. 8220;Never.”. Mr Moos...

Mr. Moose's Story Book: June 2009
http://moosetails.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Mr Moose's Story Book. Monday, June 15, 2009. Once again I find myself wanting to add a chapter to this story book. The third Wyeth, Jamie, the son of Andrew, is still creating art today and has had a long successful career that began in his teens. N C Wyeth, the patriarch, specialized in illustrations. The exhibit holds a great blend of the three artists. It shows the individuality of these men, while the juxtaposition of works showed a commonality of themes, of palates and of views. All this must sound...
