It doesn’t happen quite as much anymore, but I still find myself undergoing the silent treatment and the slow burn, even after I wisely, preemptively, apologize. I don’t take nearly as long as I used to delivering my mea culpa. That’s just wasted time. When I am wrong, I’m wrong. It only took most ofContinue reading “In The Doghouse (again)”

Bullies
I never liked them and still don’t. I learned my lesson early; or you think I would have learned my lesson when I was four years old. Mom had taken my brother, sister and I to a park in East Los Angeles. My memory has been aided by other accounts, and here is evidently howContinue reading “Bullies”
Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place
I had an absolute blast performing for the residents of Liberty Place Memory Care in West Chester. The first thing you notice about the place is its location, at the end of a drive through a very upper-income housing area. Usually, the paces I have played are not in this type of neighborhood. The propertyContinue reading “Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place”
Pot Shots
Everyone is down on anything that they don’t agree with, or don’t understand. I miss the days where people were not such attention-craving assholes. You don’t have to look very far to find the source. Social media. I don’t give two shits what you had for lunch, so don’t take a picture of it. IContinue reading “Pot Shots”
If The Shoe Fits
With all the anti-American sentiment emanating from our own politicians, it’s hard to believe that there are people who actually want to live here in this country. Go down to El Paso and see what the sentiment is there. So when the hell did the machete become the preferred weapon of choice for rednecks? Can’tContinue reading “If The Shoe Fits”
Who is to Blame?
Give people the slightest semblance of a reason and they will gleefully seek out and even more gleefully assign blame whenever they can. Where does the “blame chain” end? Good luck trying to tag any politician; unless you lie for a living, too, you are already behind the curve. The economy? Oh, this president isContinue reading “Who is to Blame?”
Just When You Think You’ve Heard it All
Our boy Trump is starting to hear footsteps as Ron DeSantis ramps up his campaign. Evidently The Florida governor’s book, Mein Kampf II, is selling well and now, unfazed by his miscalculations in the 20202 election, Trump is accusing DeSantis of “inflating his numbers.” I actually had to stop typing and laugh at that one.Continue reading “Just When You Think You’ve Heard it All”
Oops!
The Gulf Cartel, the murderous drug organization responsible for the cold-blooded murder of two Americans they mistook for Haitian drug rivals, has issued a letter of apology for their actions. That should do it. Except they cannot say “no harm, no foul.” So, I am speculating that the reason Republicans are in such a hurryContinue reading “Oops!”
Did You Not Watch Soylent Green?
I know exactly how Charlton Heston felt when he looked up at the crumbling remains of the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes. We’re doing it to ourselves. America’s greed will be her undoing. It’s one thing to rape the land of some overgrown third-world country, but in our ownContinue reading “Did You Not Watch Soylent Green?”
Believable
Not too hard to believe, actually. The Louisville Police Department is racist. I’m not saying it, THEY are. What is hard to believe is that it took this long to admit to. I wonder what gave it away? I have seen people of color criminalized by the people sworn to protect the city of Louisville.Continue reading “Believable”
