I was just writing about Brittany Griner yesterday, and JoJo is finally prepared to talk with BabyHead Putin about a prisoner exchange. Not that I am claiming any sort of influence, but it is interesting timing. We are always hearing about fires, and many encroach on my old west coast home in Santa Barbara, butContinue reading “Crazy World”

Stay With Me Now
No question that I am, and always have been a big dog lover starting with our family pets to our two Cocker Spaniel brothers tearing through the house tonight. I am seeing far too many stories of children and adults being killed by dogs. Before I go any further in my own thought process, IContinue reading “Stay With Me Now”
Life Goes On
Or does it? I’m thumbing through the digital news and nowhere near the headlines, tucked under a “New and Used Cars” advertisement way down the page, was a story that matter-of-factly reported that Ukraine is bracing for a nuclear attack. WTF? Am I the only person on the planet that sees this as a preludeContinue reading “Life Goes On”
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”
Cheaters
I hate cheaters. In anything. I joke about the difference in competitive spirit between my wife and I by saying, “Karen thinks that everyone who merely shows up to an athletic event should get some sort of “prize,” rewarding them for absolutely nothing.” And me? I will cheat at solitaire to win. It is aContinue reading “Cheaters”
I Totally Get It
I’m an asshole. And the older I get, the less patient I am becoming. I don’t like it. I am not a rude, intrusive person by nature, but I think my condition is caused by my perception of time. There isn’t much more of it left after a massive heart attack, a leg amputation, andContinue reading “I Totally Get It”
Think About It
`1Two million people as of about an hour ago, are without power in the wake of Hurricane Ian. I knew two Ian’s in my lifetime. One was a pussy, and the other was one of the meanest SOB’s you would ever run across. Best be left alone and not to be fucked with. Kind ofContinue reading “Think About It”
Records
We are obsessed with breaking or setting new records in just about everything. Sports is the obvious choice for records, but we are starting to see the record for stupidest politician being taken from Andrew Johnson, impeached 19th century president. Trump gets the record, and I can’t imagine the American people ever again putting anContinue reading “Records”
Teaching the Basics
Here I go talking about a subject I have absolutely no business talking about. That never stopped me before. And it didn’t stop the male legislators who voted against Roe v Wade. As you know, Karen and I were not blessed with children. Even though I have no doubt I would have been a kick-assContinue reading “Teaching the Basics”
