Sometimes the human touch, the connection made between two members of the species, is the answer. I have spoken of a mysterious young girl that lived across the street from my condo in North Las Vegas in the early eighties. I suspected she was in an abusive situation, but I had no concrete evidence. OneContinue reading “Just a Hug”

Never Ever Ever Apologize!
Unless you screw something up and you have to. Israel isn’t apologizing for anything After all, it wasn’t their citizens hang gliding down on a group of all those innocent, honest Hamas people we hear so much about, shooting automatic rifles indiscriminately. And the definition of insanity? History has provided you with the 6-day War,Continue reading “Never Ever Ever Apologize!”
Good For You!
It’s 3:08pm EST here and the sun is completely hidden behind the moon. There are scores of people gathered at a local park not far from my house and, at the exact moment of total eclipse, the crowd hoots and hollers like it’s 1999 (thanks Prince). Why? Because they made it through the event? WayContinue reading “Good For You!”
Loneliness
I like being alone, but I suppose feeling lonely is a curse for some. Others can be alone even when surrounded by other people. I am one of them. I think I equate people with being antithetical to a clean and healthy planet. I would be alright with a smaller world population, or even better,Continue reading “Loneliness”
Love/Hate
I used to love it when the first SweetTart out of the roll was a cherry one. I hated moving from country to country as an Air Force family, but I really loved meeting and exchanging with new peoples and cultures. I love dogs, but hated it when I had to undergo a very painfulContinue reading “Love/Hate”
Closing Time
Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”
The Big “L”
Nat King Cole and nearly every other singer on the planet has, at one time or another, placed a love song or two in their playlist. We sing about love, we revere it, we even build great monuments to it. But what are we doing to perpetuate it? Love is not self-sustaining. It needs toContinue reading “The Big “L””
Scary Christmas!
The one time of year that I still look forward to just doesn’t seem to hold the old magic that it used to. War(s). Hatred. Prejudice. Both learned behaviors. The streaming services holding hostage the viewer by restricting access to the “good” Christmas movies and not the formulaic and predictable Hallmark scripted movies. Boring. Now,Continue reading “Scary Christmas!”
Worlds Apart
As the rise of antisemitism spreads throughout The Greatest Country on Earth (pardon me while I have a good belly laugh), our progress as a civilization appears to have hit one of the buried Ukrainian landmines (Hey remember that war? It’s still going on!). We are in a downward spiral, and it is not hardContinue reading “Worlds Apart”
Where Do You Draw The Line?
Just how far will you really go? I admit to doing some absolutely bat-shit crazy dangerous things, but it was usually a confluence of factors including drugs and alcohol. I won’t die by falling off a dangerous cliff. Promise. I would readily die defending my wife and family members. But how far down the familyContinue reading “Where Do You Draw The Line?”
