Tips from Mark Victor

From time to time while roaming around the house doing chores or odds and ends, I come across a method which seems to make life a little easier for me. Think of this periodic post as the male version of "Tips from Heloise." Today's tip:

• When washing your hands, bring your reading glasses along with you. Remember to rinse both your hands and glasses, and then dry both with (a) paper towel(s). You'll see the print on the page much better, and you won't leave grease smudges on the pages!

Gird your loins — there's more to come...

• Malomars, that tasty chocolate-covered marshmallow treat, is best consumed by using the following prescription written for my father by our late family physician, Dr. Boileau: Take two the first day and one a day thereafter until finished. (True, you can't have enough Malomars, but rare treats like that need to go the distance! Ahh... but... just try that with a certain brand of potato chips...)

And... fasten your seat belts... yet more later...
