But it’s freezing in your heart. To quote a great songwriter (me). We got about eight inches of snow in the last 24 hours and its still coming down at noon EST. My two doggies, Arizona weather-weenies, are none too pleased. So, I’m checking out the news which I have not visited in some timeContinue reading “Baby its Cold Outside…”

What a World!
Juan Soto, the highly-coveted free agent outfielder from last season’s New York Yankees, has just signed a 760 million dollar contract to play baseball for the New York Mets until the year 2040. Just in case, he also received 75 million just for signing the contract. Are we paying our educators, the individuals responsible forContinue reading “What a World!”
It’s Only My Opinion, But…
I think if you are going to have tattoos, you need to have gig guns like the Rock, not those little white skinny punk rock junkie arms. I very much understand people and their insane need for validation, but some clothes are not meant for certain body types. I believe I put that as diplomaticContinue reading “It’s Only My Opinion, But…”
Changes
Finally! My beloved Manchester United Red Devil football club has given manager Erik Ten Hag his walking papers after guiding the team down as low as we have ever been in the Premier League. I never cared for the man, I admit, but he never really did anything during his tenure that changed my opinionContinue reading “Changes”
One Speed
That’s all you should have. To quote the late great Gene Wilder from 1980’s Stir Crazy, balls out. Off or balls out. For everything. You only get one chance to live each and every moment of your time on this planet in this sphere of existence. Then you die. So don’t dial it in. IContinue reading “One Speed”
It’s Getting Close
Pretty soon, bye-bye political ads. At the least the half-truths and downright lies being espoused by both parties’ candidates. Then we can go about putting our fingers in our ears and sing “la!la!la!” as we listen to their half-truths and downright lies when they take office and ask us to believe them one more time.Continue reading “It’s Getting Close”
Options
LIfe is all about options. The choices we make, the reasons we come up with to justify our actions, and the consequences we ultimately must pay for them. There is a balance to the universe and it is even more simplistic than the concept of yin and yang and the balance it perpetuates. Right andContinue reading “Options”
Riding it Out
The doctor has me in the wait-and-see mode on my leg, and unless it improves, I still think an above-the-knee surgery is imminent. So I’m riding it out. But I will NOT ride it out if it becomes necessary to further cut my leg and they want me to stay longer post-surgery and give meContinue reading “Riding it Out”
Going Under Again?
Man, I really hope not. I have been off of my feet completely for about eight weeks now and I go to pick up my prosthetic, supposedly newer, better, molded to my exact measurements, blah blah blah, and I am up on the leg two minutes and that old familiar sting (Hurt); there is fluidContinue reading “Going Under Again?”
Who Do You Trust?
How big is your “circle of trust”? There is the obvious starting block—the family. Most families (I want to believe) trust each other, and God-forbid-if-it-ever-became necessary, would sacrifice their own lives for each other. My family was like that at one time. That circle, almost universally, included the police force. Mass shootings, inept practices, andContinue reading “Who Do You Trust?”
