. . . tell the time or tie your shoelaces or use a knife and fork? Was it your parents - or your grandparents? There is no doubt that grandparents play a pivotal role in raising a child and I don’t just mean providing a...

Bill Kasman As well as our own grandchildren my wife and I are honorary uncle and aunt to a friends' children. Their family situation is ''complicated'' to say the least!

We have deer visiting us on a daily basis. Usually they hide well enough that grabbing a camera or cell phone to snap a photo won't work. Although we know the deer is standing on the other side of some trees, we can't spot it at...

I have had an offer from a friend to go into business. Actually it would just be making more official what we do now. For several years we have been knitting items to sell. We have sold online but as we have been working during...

Tonight when I went to feed the front door cats I noticed the almost full moon shining through a haze of stratus clouds and thought it might make a good picture. I don't really have the lens I need to get the shot I'd really like,...

Bill Kasman I have tried taking photos of the moon and I can tell you it isn't easy to get a decent image! How the professionals do it is beyond me but I suppose they can afford top-of-the-range fancy cameras which work out all the parameters for them.

I've been working on a series of travel Kindle books and I make it a habit to check with both U.S. and U.K. current government travel warnings. What I'm finding out is the world is an increasingly dangerous place. ISIS has long...

Bill Kasman Nowadays the only travelling my wife and I do is around our native Scotland. Our eldest son went to Vietnam for a month a couple of years ago and had a great time - friendly people and not a hint of trouble anywhere. I guess we have to be choosy now.

One of the things I was given as a gift on Christmas Day was a new printer. It is an amazing piece of kit and I am very happy with it but the thing looks and feels so flimsy - like if I slightly mishandled it the result would be a...

Bill Kasman It seems like manufacturers don't build for the long term any more. They're in it for a fast buck.

Bill Kasman A tricky situation. Probably best to keep your distance - at least while he has a girlfriend. If that relationship ends then he's fair game!

Seriously, that's what is in my bank for today so far, two cents. That's sorta sad isn't it? I guess I wasn't on here as much as my fingers say I was! But I have noticed, as many of you have I am sure, that when you stay at the...

Some time ago I wrote about riding on a steam train in my childhood, and what struck me about the reaction to that post was the number of Americans who said that they had never been on a train, steam or otherwise I remember with...

Bill Kasman No, you're not! I still have lots of things I acquired many years ago. Some of them are not very pretty looking now but as long as they still work that's OK by me.

When things don't go the way they should, we all have a tendency to give up and say the heck with it and never try again. Quitting never gets you anywhere. It seems the easiest thing to do is to give up, but that is the cowards...

Bill Kasman Oh I dunno - I've given up plenty of things. Smoking, drinking, eating junk food, etc The trick, of course, is to give up those things which are bad for you and not those things which require a little perseverance to fulfill - relationships,...

Personally I prefer tea over coffee - unless its a good restaurant cup of cappuccino in which case the coffee wins every time. When I'm at my keyboard I will usually drink a carbonated drink (we call them 'fizzy drinks' in the UK)...
