It was only the first official Premier League football match away at Portman Road under the Amorim reign as manager. The Reds were very lucky to escape Southampton with a 1-1 draw, despite scoring in the first two minutes of play. Not until the final ten minutes of play did United revive a dead offenseContinue reading “Great (and not so great) Expectations”

Love/Hate
I love it when I see film reels of people untangling little penguins all the way up to whales from fishermen’s netting. I am a fish lover, but I will stop cold turkey if it will get you dumbasses to quit using the ocean like your personal garbage dump. I hate that. I love itContinue reading “Love/Hate”
Wingman
Everybody needs one. Maverick had Iceman and my high school wingman (at least in ninth grade anyway) was a girl actually, named Molly Fletcher. We both lived in government housing on the US Air Force base Upper Heyford about seventy miles from London. Her father worked as some sort of “defense consultant” and my stepfatherContinue reading “Wingman”
It’s Only My Opinion, But…
I think if you are going to have tattoos, you need to have gig guns like the Rock, not those little white skinny punk rock junkie arms. I very much understand people and their insane need for validation, but some clothes are not meant for certain body types. I believe I put that as diplomaticContinue reading “It’s Only My Opinion, But…”
On Your Mark, Get Set
Go! I was never the fast guy. I wasn’t the slow guy either; I just possessed very average speed for an athlete. It wasn’t so noticeable when I played soccer, in fact. I possessed good speed for a soccer player. Since I was a center-forward, in 1967 that meant goal scorer. Period. Forget dropping backContinue reading “On Your Mark, Get Set”
Self-Discipline
There was a time early in my life that I exercised no self-discipline whatsoever. I mean, really. Many of the short stories and situations I got myself into in late 70’s-early 80’s Las Vegas are included in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I had it all figured out: I was actually making moneyContinue reading “Self-Discipline”
Spanking Your Children
I know, I know. A lot of people bow up and get all froggy when they hear the “s” word, but truth be told (which I will do on occasion), there are some kids that could use a little extra somethin’-somethin’ when it comes to their discipline routine. And everyone knows who they are. GoContinue reading “Spanking Your Children”
Changes
Finally! My beloved Manchester United Red Devil football club has given manager Erik Ten Hag his walking papers after guiding the team down as low as we have ever been in the Premier League. I never cared for the man, I admit, but he never really did anything during his tenure that changed my opinionContinue reading “Changes”
Marijuana
I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”
Mere Observations
So the machinists at Boeing are continuing their walkout, demanding a new contract. Their planes are falling apart and dropping out of the sky on a daily basis, so why not reward them with more money? I’ll take the train, thanks. September home sales were highest in years, but how is anyone able to buyContinue reading “Mere Observations”
