I was involved in one position or another in restaurants in my journey. Part of that journey was as a tipped employee. I loved that position better than any I held afterwards, even after I ascended to the Executive Chef position in a starred French restaurant. Why? I was single and working in a majorContinue reading “A Little Something Extra”

What Did I Miss?
I just caught a glimpse of a picture of Nancy Pelosi and I love it because she always looks like she just set the doobie down and waved the smoke away with her hands, and then turned towards the camera. I really do like the salty bird, though. I like anybody who’s not afraid toContinue reading “What Did I Miss?”
Just a Hug
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”
My Three Cents
Advocacy groups for Texas inmates are complaining because there is no air conditioning. Oh boo fucking hoo. I am sure you are not doing time in a state penitentiary because you are, and always have been, a model citizen. I’m so sorry for your lyin’, cheatin’, rapin’, thievin’, murderin’ asses. Deal with it. I wantContinue reading “My Three Cents”
Knock it Off!
I am one of the most easy-going old dudes you will ever meet, but every so often, things happen and, believe it or not, I get agitated. Like when I hear of abuse of any kind. I will go after you every bit as hard if you hurt an animal or a human being. Promise.Continue reading “Knock it Off!”
An Absolutely Perfect Day For Golf
I watched every televised stroke of the recently-completed Master’s at Augusta National. I studied every swing of every golfer. I analyzed the stance, the address, the takeback, and finally, the follow-through and hip twist of every top golfer. I emulated them. I took the best part of each of their golf games and consumed thisContinue reading “An Absolutely Perfect Day For Golf”
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!”
What Comes Around…
That lying, thieving, cheating, murdering fraudster Alex Murdaugh was given forty years to serve on his myriad of fraud charges. Even running concurrently, he should get out around the time he hits 95. Timing. You are driving along the Pacific Coast Highway with the beautiful pink sunset on your right shoulder as you head southContinue reading “What Comes Around…”
Shameless
Just when I start to think I’ve seen it all… A man on the moon. A presidential assassination. A black president. A failed American coup. A presidential candidate selling bibles to raise money. Look, you start to get desperate when you are down to your last seven billion dollars. Cuts have to be made. He’llContinue reading “Shameless”
