Hair

Some of the sexiest women I have ever seen on this planet have no hair at all. Maybe I’ve seen too many alien-android movies, but a good-looking bald woman is hard to beat. Growing up in a military family, short hair was definitely the norm for my older brother. I always kept my hair longerContinue reading “Hair”

Christmas Trees

          Real or fake trees? Both are acceptable if you ask me. Who the hell is anyone to tell someone else what kind of tree to erect, or for that matter, how to celebrate Christmas? I grew up remembering real trees as the norm. When we moved from California to Japan, we maintained the realContinue reading “Christmas Trees”

Country Boy

          I was a wee lad, 6 years of age, when I went on my first hunting trip. This was considered a rite of passage of sorts, pushing me closer to manhood whether I was ready or not. I remember a few of my older cousins and their Dads were there, as was my GrandfatherContinue reading “Country Boy”

Games

          With more of us (all of us ideally), staying in and spending so much suddenly-available time with the kids, I understand from my child-rearing friends that there has been a resurgence in board games. My memories of board games, like many I am sure, started first, by watching my older siblings play. You canContinue reading “Games”

Child Day Care

          This is another subject that I have absolutely NO idea about, but I won’t let that stop my thoughts and opinions on the subject.           I love kids. They represent the unspoiled. How the parents raise and nurture them is crucial, of course, but what about when the parents aren’t there all the timeContinue reading “Child Day Care”

If Only….

Check out the prologue of my novel. You’ll be amused and surprised at how the planet would look like If Only… The Earth was still an embryo. Ah awoke in the morning mist which had begun to creep into the cave. She looked at her little one, still asleep and dreaming in the warmth ofContinue reading “If Only….”

Letter to God (Part Two)

            Hpw ;ame. I forgot to post this on time.…I also wanted to thank you for the guy I saw on CNN on Tuesday morning. He saved Gunner, his little puppy from the jaws of certain death from a hungry little (and apparently lightning-fast) alligator. Thank you for the birds of all colors you gaveContinue reading “Letter to God (Part Two)”

Sarah Fuller

Emmeline Pankhurst. Jane Austen. Clara Barton. Nelly Bly. Amelia Earhart. Marie Curie. Grace Hopper. And now, Sarah Fuller. Great women pioneers all. She did not ask to be a news novelty; she stepped up for her school when they needed her. That alone is heroic. And brave? We are talking about the Southeast Conference! WhereContinue reading “Sarah Fuller”

College Football

            OK, I promise not to turn this into a sports blog, but they have done it to me once again. My Fighting Irish have given me cause for hope yet once again that they can overcome the obstacles we all face and the obstacles that come with being the University of Notre Dame. TheyContinue reading “College Football”

The First Day of Christmas

            I have no issue whatsoever with those who already have their Christmas lights up. I love Christmas. If it were up to me, everyone would have to decorate and light up their houses all year long. To me, this is the FIRST day of Christmas. It is so because Karen will now let meContinue reading “The First Day of Christmas”
