I am often asked what style or genre my writing is. I honestly don’t know how to answer that question. I believe in my book EMOTIONS! Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I have created an entirely new genre. I took the short story and made it into a short-short story, and the final product is theContinue reading “Style”

I Guess I Still Don’t Get It
All the same bleeding-heart Democrats who created the atmosphere for homelessness to thrive in California now want to ask the Supreme Court to allow them to keep the homeless out of public areas. No wonder die-hard Democrats are flipping the switch. You can’t be all things to all people. Hell, we aren’t even all thingsContinue reading “I Guess I Still Don’t Get It”
A Gypsy Girl Named Shannon
Not a John Stewart song, but a real girl. Bright garnet-yellow eyes, smooth café skin, and a throaty giggle that first seduced then paralyzed. I met Shannon in the high Sierra Mountains in northern California where she camped with her family of seven: Her father Grecko, mother Sashay, and her quadruplet sisters, not one ofContinue reading “A Gypsy Girl Named Shannon”
Thumb Tripping
Hitchhiking. You just don’t see it anymore. It used to be a means of transporting one’s self to points unknown with a complete stranger. I know, not because I ever had to hitch a ride to go somewhere, but because I was the guy who would stop and pick up whoever had their thumbs out.Continue reading “Thumb Tripping”
Problem Solved
Some Pennsylvania high school students are organizing a walk-out from their school because the world is spinning faster than they can catch up. Being forced to share bathroom facilities with transgender females doesn’t work for them. This is a problem and it won’t just be confined to the Quaker State. Make a third bathroom; forContinue reading “Problem Solved”
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””
Everybody Loses
That dumbass Kim Jong-un from North Korea is once again talking shit about using his nuclear weapons. Talk about someone with penis-envy. Used to be, the only time you fucked with the United States of America was if you had a death wish. Then we got cocky and imperialistic. Vietnam 1 USA 0. I amContinue reading ” Everybody Loses”
Turn the Page
OK, Miley Cyrus, I’ll give it to you. You are persistent. You, or the people responsible for your public image, have tried putting you in every outfit imaginable, trying to showcase the very little you were blessed with, and it hasn’t worked. Less is not better (or more). Eat something. Three words for you. KeepContinue reading “Turn the Page”
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!”
Not on the Menu
I was on the road with a national home cookin’ restaurant chain in the early nineties and on my first assignment I drove to a very small town in northern Alabama. I would never have picked this place unless I thought this move was good for my career. I actually lived pretty well for theContinue reading “Not on the Menu”
