Where has all the laughter gone? Here I go sounding a thousand years old again, but who is next in the long line of super funnymen or women? Used to be there were a handful of comics that were at the top and then it tapered down. In the 50’s you had George Burns, JackContinue reading “Funny Haha”

Talent
There is no substitute for it. You can be driven, persistent, and personality up the ying-yang (wherever that is), but someone with that special something, the God-given talent, will prevail. It’s on display with athletes in almost every sport. Cream rises. I hosted the second Open Mic for the River Edge Sports Grill and BarContinue reading “Talent”
Finally
From the day I was introduced to the game of chess by my stepfather, I was already past child prodigy age, I think around 1965, it took me seven years to tip the final piece in victory. Of course, I can’t remember anything else, but I remember that day. It was December 23, 1972, andContinue reading “Finally”
Sleeping In
I am a sack rat. I remember when I was two and three years old, I could sleep for whole days on end. Now that I am retired, I am back to the same routine. The weather is supposed to be rainy before clearing up on the weekend. I am on pins as to whetherContinue reading “Sleeping In”
Tidbits
Have you noticed how I have purposefully avoided saying anything at all about my beloved Man U Reds? Nor will I, lest I start to even begin to fathom the depths at which this once-proud, once globally-feared organization has sunk so low. “Oh pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth”… I caught a glimpse ofContinue reading “Tidbits”
Small Potatoes
Don’t get me wrong. I am a big first amendment guy and of course I believe in free speech. For every voice on the planet, but somebody PLEASE stick a sock in the misguided mouth of Marjorie Greene. Turn the page. Challenge all the amendments you want. You are ineligible for re-election. Get over yourself.Continue reading “Small Potatoes”
Branding
Don’t ask me how I do it. Confidence. Anyway, I move out here after spending the better part of three years in a hospital bed or rehab bed or my own bed and LazyBoy recliner. They were not easy. Least of all on my wife. But I felt great after two shows in two daysContinue reading “Branding”
Catching Up
Whew! It has been a very busy week and today we both felt it. We ended up laying around and watching movies and reruns of Special Victims Unit. On top of that the temperature dropped as snow appeared, probably for one of the last times as Spring takes center stage. Believe I will post someContinue reading “Catching Up”
I’m Baaack
I am getting ready to leave for my gig. I decided to open with Whiskey Bent and Hellbound to show my country chops right off the bat. Talk to you later. In the meantime, here are the entries (preface and short-story) for the letter N and the emotion is needy. This will be my lastContinue reading “I’m Baaack”
Read With Caution
Here is the second short-short story I wrote under the emotion madness. This is included in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABBC’s! School’s Out Detective Matt Kennedy got off the elevator on the 6th floor. The shiny doors parted to reveal a pile of seven bodies. Blood pooled from the underside of severalContinue reading “Read With Caution”
