I write in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! about some of the crazy things I did while in the five years I spent in the glimmering city. One such chapter involved learning how to shoot nine-ball. I already knew how to shoot 8-ball and had arisen to the point of mediocrity that IContinue reading “Rack ‘em Up”

Here We Go Again
In this dangerous world, our nation’s defense is Priority One. Or at least it should be. What do you do when you want to attract the best recruits possible to join our naval forces? Lower the standards, of course. The business sector has been doing it forever to attract workers who just don’t want toContinue reading “Here We Go Again”
Our Skill Set
We each have one that is just as unique to us as our fingerprints. We learn them, we inherit them, and we assimilate them our entire lives. Then our role is over and a new cast goes through the motions of mouthing the words and playing the parts as the show must go on. IContinue reading “Our Skill Set”
The Best is Yet to Come…
It has to be. Let’s face it; the country is divided, the world is divided and we will never reconcile our differences. If we just use those parameters as the starting point, at least the lack of progress won’t seem as intolerable. DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race? I guess when his own partyContinue reading “The Best is Yet to Come…”

Wait For It…
I am the very first to admit that, of all the many gifts I have inherited and refined, patience is NOT one of them. Oh, I’ve gotten better, but more often than not, throughout my life, impatience has cost me. I used to be such a stickler for my food quality. Classic French cuisine requiresContinue reading “Wait For It…”
Threats
Everyone and everything is a threat. Different countries, different ideologies; I can understand it at a base level.But within our own borders? Threats of rigged elections, of government shutdowns. Shut down what? What have any of you entitled self-important dickwads done?Divided our country, lessened our global importance? Hey, thanks. Yeah, why don’t you shut down?Continue reading “Threats”
Zula
She was from the jungles of Brazil. No town or city name. My feeble attempts at conversing bore no fruit, but when our gaze met, everything else, and I mean everything else, melted away. There was nothing in this world more important than finding my way next to her and her round, warm body. SheContinue reading “Zula”
Style
I am often asked what style or genre my writing is. I honestly don’t know how to answer that question. I believe in my book EMOTIONS! Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I have created an entirely new genre. I took the short story and made it into a short-short story, and the final product is theContinue reading “Style”
I Guess I Still Don’t Get It
All the same bleeding-heart Democrats who created the atmosphere for homelessness to thrive in California now want to ask the Supreme Court to allow them to keep the homeless out of public areas. No wonder die-hard Democrats are flipping the switch. You can’t be all things to all people. Hell, we aren’t even all thingsContinue reading “I Guess I Still Don’t Get It”
