This is from EMOTIONS: Not Your Mama’s ABC’s: Under the letter U (the Prologue): “Unrelenting. Personally, the most annoying of all things is nagging. Since my wife would never engage in such activity, this is the imaginary scenario: she says something which is totally false, established as fact and universally accepted by all on theContinue reading “An Excerpt From My Book”

Coffee or Tea?
I never drank even one cup of coffee in my entire life until I was 60 years old. Now, I have one or two small cups every morning. I’m very exacting in how I mix my delectable early-morning treat. I like a little sugar-free vanilla creamer, and a splash of whole milk or halfContinue reading “Coffee or Tea?”
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”
