By Jerry Zezima Because I am a geezer with a heart condition, I’m not ashamed to admit that when it comes to shoveling snow, I am also a wuss, which stands for “wait until spring starts.” To compound matters, I was born during a blizzard and have been perpetrating snow jobs ever since. So in […]
By Jerry Zezima I wouldn’t be barking up the wrong clothes tree to say that my younger daughter’s dog has a better wardrobe than I do. So do both of my barber’s dogs. It’s enough to make a grown human howl. I became aware of this canine clothing conspiracy about a year ago when my […]

Friends, Enemies, and the Psychological Warfare of the “Frenemy” Life used to be simple. You had people you liked (Friends) and people you’d fight in a parking lot (Enemies). But then, society invented the “Frenemy,” and suddenly we all need a degree in international diplomacy just to go to brunch. 1. Friends: The “I’ll Delete […]

By Jerry Zezima When it comes to household chores, I work for free. And I’m worth every penny. But since I’m on a fixed income, I am thinking of charging for my services. “You don’t do anything,” said my wife, Sue, who is the family banker. “That’s not true,” I replied defensively. “What do you […]
By Jerry Zezima Since I am in the holiday spirit (and, having just consumed a mug of hot toddy, a glass of eggnog and a nip of cheer, the holiday spirits are in me), I have decided to follow in that great tradition of boring everyone silly by writing a Christmas letter. That is why […]
By Jerry Zezima I may not be the chief cook in my house (that would be my wife, Sue, without whom I would have starved to death long ago), but I am the chief bottle washer. And I don’t wash only bottles. I also clean glasses, mugs, cups, saucers, bowls, plates, pots, pans, tongs, whisks, […]
