“Yes Dear.” Gentlemen, you learn those two words and you are halfway home. Appropriate for just about ANY question unless she asks if you have been unfaithful to her. Also, if your wife ever asks you ANY question and you take more than one “uh” to preface your answer, you are getting ready to lie.Continue reading “The Secrets to a Happy Marriage”

Ugly people
I despise ugly people. You see them every day in every walk of life. They are the ones that give a little too long of a look at the interacial couple walking down the street, that see nothing wrong with this country that cannot be fixed with a good ass-whipping given to somebody, anybody, whoContinue reading “Ugly people”
Master Plan
The Great Recess Caper of 1961 A seven-year-old growing up on a U.S. military base in Japan, I was full of all of the typical questions that run through a typical seven-year-old’s mind. Like “what if me and my buddy Stevie could devise a plan to get all of our classmates’ valuables: gum, candy,Continue reading “Master Plan”
Above and Beyond
One of the best things I like about this blogging thing is that, as long as I don’t misspell anything and look like a dumb shit, I can pretty much write about anything I want. I worked in industries that required the constant exercise of customer service skills at all levels and there are thoseContinue reading “Above and Beyond”
Television
Growing up in Japan from1962-1965, we had access to exactly ONE American television show. It was the legal series called The Defenders and starred E.G. Marshall and the future Brady Bunch icon Robert Reed. It was only on Sunday nights at 10pm and our Mom made sure we were always able to stay up andContinue reading “Television”
The Gambling Bug
Well here is a subject I can speak about that I actually know something about. I spent the last years of the 70’s and the early 80’s in Las Vegas. I loved every second of it, and I hated every second of it. I succumbed to the gambling bug which has bit so many. IContinue reading “The Gambling Bug”
Adoption
Hats off to anyone who pursues the route of adoption to extend their family. I, having no qualifications whatsoever to comment, will now comment. It is not “in the cards,” or “in God’s hands,” for everyone to have children. I will not address this subject with any religious implications, only my own screwball opinion. SuchContinue reading “Adoption”
Recycling
I admit it. I have recycled very few things in my life. I only recycle the usual items that two people (and two Cocker Spaniels) produce and that is because my wife makes me. Not that I don’t care about our planet or the future, I just never had enough sense or reason to evenContinue reading “Recycling”
Veteran’s Day
Today is the official day we choose to honor the veterans of our country. I was raised for apart of my life, as an Air Force dependent. My stepfather was a lifer, retiring as a Chief Master Sergeant. I unashamedly declare my patriotism for the United States of America. Still. Always. The temperature of thisContinue reading “Veteran’s Day”
The Passing of a Legend
Alex Trebek passed away and I feel a great sense of loss because I, like many of us, grew up with him and played and enjoyed Jeopardy for as long as I can remember watching television. He was always a “notch above” all other game show hosts and exhibited class in his every move. HeContinue reading “The Passing of a Legend”
