It was tough watching Indiana Pacer Tyrese Haliburton go down with a severed Achilles tendon last night in the seventh game of the NBA Finals. I can totally relate (to the injury, not the skill level) because the exact same thing happened to me back in 1982. I was opening up a large family restaurantContinue reading “Ouch!”

No News is Good News
So we have plenty of news. I guess flying under the radar is the fact that we are bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities. Now I understand that kind of frivolity if you are 98 years old and dying by the minute, and you are fine with calling it a day. But for the rest of us,Continue reading “No News is Good News”

The Way of the World
She wanted to be famous. Now ol’ what’s-her-name from Tempe, Arizona (my old stomping grounds) is pushing up cacti. Dead in her teens. Thanks once again goes to TikTok. In this corner, weighing (according to himself) a svelte 180 pounds of all muscle, is the president of the United States. In this corner, outweighed byContinue reading “The Way of the World”
As I Was Saying…
Between the countries that we have been banned, or encouraged not to travel to, and the countries that are banning their citizens from visiting us, it just looks a whole lot easier to stay home, have a few cool ones, relax, and shoot the first person who makes a noise outside your front door. jk.Continue reading “As I Was Saying…”
The Oracle
Don’t think too highly of myself, do I? With my birth month and Mother’s Day in our rear-view mirrors, a North Carolina woman says hold everything…. She gets called in to her daughters’ school because of an alleged fighting situation which needed to be addressed immediately. So what does next years’ Mother of the YearContinue reading “The Oracle”
No Misgivings…
There is no excuse whatsoever, for baking your child to death in your hot car as you sit in the cool air-conditioned bar knocking a few back with friends. No worries. Trump will probably pardon them. Speaking of DJT, some judge is preventing him from taking over the Department of Education. What, I ask is,Continue reading “No Misgivings…”
Without Fail
No matter how great you think you are, there is always someone, somewhere out there, who is better. I saw it a lot of it growing up as I started competitive tackle football at age seven. I would have started at age six, but I was caught trying to forge my parents’ signatures on theContinue reading “Without Fail”
Just Another Brick in the Wall
We have spent all those millions of dollars constructing the wall on our southern border and now, it seems, there is no need for further construction. The answer was under our noses the entire time. Just make this country even more unlivable, miserable and dangerous for immigrants than it is in their own country andContinue reading “Just Another Brick in the Wall”
Now Hear This…
As you may or may not know, I was not blessed with children, which is why, when I was physically able, I was so involved with coaching young kids in several sports, including basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. Both girls and boys. The little girls were great because they did whatever I asked of themContinue reading “Now Hear This…”
