Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: How do you want to be remembered?

Several years ago, my father stood with head bowed at a graveside funeral service. As the minister spoke, Dad began reading tombstones immediately nearby. One caught his eye. Just below the birth and death dates were three words: “He grew peaches.” What a revelation, he thought. A man’s entire career summed up in one single phrase. Dad said it made him think about how many notable people get remembered for one thing only. What comes to mind when you think […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Spring cleaning

At lunch a few days ago, my friend Tom said he and his wife planned a “spring cleaning” weekend. What a waste of two days! But after I got home, I researched the subject. Actually, this annual ritual is older than athlete’s foot. Even primitive tree dwellers cleaned their nests each April by sweeping away dead branches, poisonous snakes, and out-of-fashion animal skins. So, I wrote down a few suggestions to help speed through this horrible chore. Wear old clothes, […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Baseball

Hey, it's baseball season! This game requires a glove and a moving bat, but it's got nothing to do with vampires. It takes place on a "diamond," or four bases arranged in a square. There aren't real diamonds involved, so players won't get distracted by bright stones. Offensive players take turns trying to hit a ball thrown by the defensive team's pitcher. However, if the batter thumps the other team's player or an umpire with his bat, he might be […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Moving day

Many of us consider moving days stressful. Moves scared me so much I bought a book on getting organized…but then I lost it. But here’s what I remember about changing locations. First, throw away stuff you don’t need, like old gum wrappers, telephone books before 1999 and dead bugs. Keep important things like the TV, the DVD player and that autographed photo from the mud-wrestling championships. Next, sort your papers. For instance, school papers go in one pile. Bills and […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Senior rings

I’ll never forget the day senior rings arrived. If somebody hadn’t locked me in a toilet stall, I’d have been first in line. If you ask random people whatever became of their senior rings, my guess is they’d say things like… “I don’t know. Have you seen it?” “I wore it until I was 63.” “I gave it to my old girlfriend, who gave it to her new boyfriend.” Did you ever wonder how the senior ring tradition started? Me […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story Flashback: Charles Perrault

Editor Note: Rix is off on assignment. Here's one of his Minute Stories, originally published on August 18, 2018. We’d like to recognize Charles Perrault, who preserved the folk tales of “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Sleeping Beauty” and many more. We’d bake a cake in his honor, but since he was born in 1628, he’s 375 now. Few folks that age can blow out the candles. Perrault painstakingly transcribed centuries-old stories that taught important lessons like bravery, honesty, and witch […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: New year resolutions

I discovered long ago that the best New Year resolutions require the least effort. Big plans often lead to big problems. Listen to these horror stories: One of my friends vowed to lose 175 pounds. So she divorced her husband. Another resolved to marry. That didn’t work, because that same year her boyfriend resolved to break up. Complicated resolutions require extreme action. No one should ever take a giant step, except maybe on Leap Year. Perhaps these tips will help: […]

Rix Quinn’s New Year Minute Story

Happy new year! So, have you ever wondered about the history of New Year celebrations? Ancient Egyptians celebrated New Year when the Nile River overflowed, usually in June. Then someone suggested, “If we change New Year to January, we won’t drown coming home from the party.” Early Romans named their celebration for Janus, a deity with two faces. One face looked backward, the other forward. Today, we also reflect on the past, and plan for the future. But we no […]

Rix Quinn’s Christmas Extravaganza

Christmas Trees Christmas trees are like a distant cousin. They come to your house, surround themselves with presents, stay a month…then they begin to shed, and need somebody to drive them off. People often do strange things with cut trees. One of my neighbors pulled out a chain saw and widened his front door three feet. That allowed him to bring in the tree without bending it, and it made a great spectacle the neighbors could video. Once inside the […]
