Happy Holidays

Today marks two special holidays: Karen’s birthday and 4/20. 4/20 you ask? The “official” day of celebration of the counter-culture. Oooooh. Sounds spooky. Counter culture. Since I am able to smoke pot all day and night if I so desire, it is no big whup for me to have a smoke session on a Tuesday.Continue reading “Happy Holidays”

WOMAN among women

My song today as promised is a Bob Dylan song, Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright: Today we examine the female side of the music equation. The bar was set by a songwriter’s production, chart songs and hits, album sales, and also the scope of their influence on their audience. Lyrics were examined to see howContinue reading “WOMAN among women”

MAN Among men

There are many men in the history of music. But there are only a few MEN. Ladies, tomorrow’s yours. One of the MEN is Robert Allen Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan. He has written a crazy number of songs. His songs have made him wealthy beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, but his songs not only are well-written,Continue reading “MAN Among men”

Snoring

I was curious as to why I seemed to have stopped snoring as a regular part of my sleep pattern? Evidently (no backing medical evidence) it seems that since the issues with my left leg, up to and through the 13 surgeries I endured, I started dropping weight. When the smoke had finally cleared andContinue reading “Snoring”

Premier League

My beloved Manchester United is teasing me once again. 2017 was the last time the Reds won silver. Even though it was “only” the Europa League Cup and not one of the big three of a “treble.” FA Cup. I love watching the Football Association Cup because it is like the old Indiana State HighContinue reading “Premier League”

Tattoos

I don’t have any, but I think they are cool. I think tattoos look much more impressive on a pair of big 20” guns than when a skinny little junkie has them. The Rock was made for tattoos and I am sure there are many who would love to take some serious time reading thatContinue reading “Tattoos”

Closing the Deal

I am winding down our search for a new SUV and it looks like the three finalists are the Toyota Highlander, the Ford Edge, and the Kia Telluride. Tomorrow we will test drive them and make a decision soon. The sooner we buy, the sooner I can get behind the wheel and drive for theContinue reading “Closing the Deal”

Road Trip

After much chagrin and frustration, I have finally convinced Domestic Despot Osama bin KAREN to let me put together a mid-week trip up in the High Sierras of California and then over to the coast for a stop at my big brother Ed’s in Ventura for a few days. I have fond memories of Ventura,Continue reading “Road Trip”

Pencils

Does anybody use pencils anymore except maybe for kids in poor school districts? If you are old enough, think back to our old trusty Ticonderoga #2 lead pencils. Lead. Think back to how many times you licked the tip of your pencil and it is a wonder any of us got through elementary school withoutContinue reading “Pencils”
