My criminal history started when I was a mere lad of seven years old. I detailed the crime in my blog “The Great Recess Caper of 1961, and my ass still burns from the ass-whipping my Mom gave me. I think I stole a ring so I could go steady with this girl. I gotContinue reading “Stolen Hamburgers”

School Safety
Talk about a contradiction of terms. Safety measures have come a long way in schools, but when you look closely, not very far at all. You had a school bully who kept the rest of the students in line. There were hall monitors, composed of teachers with bad attitudes because they would much rather beContinue reading “School Safety”
Heartbreak
I don’t like that word. Your heart does not get broken, per se, when a loved one passes into the next sphere of existence. Broken implies something that needs to be repaired, but your heart will carry the deep hurt of loss until you pass. You can’t fix it. Before I get going, check outContinue reading “Heartbreak”
It’s Happening Folks
Whether we want it or not, one of the great rivers of the world, the Mighty Mississippi River, is drying up. Believe it. But there’s no global warming. Right. We have seen smaller lakes (Lake Meade outside Las Vegas comes to mind) and rivers start to disappear, but this river is crucial to our country.Continue reading “It’s Happening Folks”
Shaking My Head
An entire family of four from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan have gone missing. In a case that could very well have come from a TV crime show, and I would know, I’ve seen a few of ‘em, this is scary shit. The family left home without taking or caring for their pets. They leftContinue reading “Shaking My Head”
What is She Missing?
Just exactly what doesn’t she understand about the whole man-woman, male-female, husband-wife dynamic? Now before I launch into my well-developed thought provoking ideas on exactly who should bear the mantle of Head of the Household, let me start by saying , and I believe the latest poll, oddly enough, was something like 95% of allContinue reading “What is She Missing?”
Cue Ball Side Pocket
Can you believe the stones on that hairless dipshit of a manager for Manchester United? He fired Ronaldo, the greatest striker the world has ever seen. What has he accomplished in football? So he’s won a few titles. In Amsterdam. Big fucking deal. My beloved Cocker Spaniel Bruiser, who is licking his balls right nowContinue reading “Cue Ball Side Pocket”
Don’t Give Up
Don’t ever give up. I still have a handwritten Thank You card signed by Jim Valvano after I donated to his fund. It is hard not to like this coach who achieved such heights only to be stricken down by cancer. He cost me a chance to win a $5000.00 NCAA Basketball pool. For onceContinue reading “Don’t Give Up”
Because You Never Know
So the Petulant One, Elon Musk, demeans the government for fiscal irresponsibility by not charging the Ukrainians for the internet satellite system Starlink, a crucial component in helping the Ukrainians stave off the Russian advances. Just a short time later he comes back with another missive on social media saying, “Even so, we should stillContinue reading “Because You Never Know”
“X” Marks the Spot
In my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s!, I list emotions under every letter of the alphabet. Check out my preface and the short story illustrating the letter “X”: X Since I live in one of the nation’s driest areas (Phoenix, Arizona), my first instinct under this difficult heading was xeric, or pertaining to dryContinue reading ““X” Marks the Spot”
