I prefer blinds or a shade, because curtains just seem to be so heavy. As long as it blocks out the light, which is the whole point in the first place, n’est ce pas? What good are those flimsy, light window coverings unless you are an exhibitionist? I have blinds and curtains on my officeContinue reading “Curtains”

Thanks
I was practicing my playlist for my upcoming gig(s) and I thought I haven’t publicly thanked anyone in a while. To the healthcare professionals who continue to fight disease and keep us safe, gracias. To the politicians who know right from wrong and follow through in their actions with that in mind, merci beaucoup. ToContinue reading “Thanks”
Rent
For a myriad of reasons I only ever had to pay rent for a few months out of my life. Even when I had a bachelor pad, I rarely spent any time there. I hear of people struggling to pay off someone else’s mortgage every month. I am not saying I don’t feel sorry forContinue reading “Rent”
Independence Day
We waited all year for it and here we are. The day that we celebrate, as a nation, our independence from tyranny, oppression, and ignorance. I would say we’re at two-for-three so far. July 4th used to mean hamburgers, hot dogs, and homemade ice cream. And fireworks. Now, it has changed to Wimbledon tennis, golf,Continue reading “Independence Day”
The Colors of Our Lives
How boring this world would be if it were monochromatic. The Republicans would like everything red. The Democrats want everything blue. How boring a world with no other colors, no other voices, no other viewpoints. I think there are too many people being let into this country. There I said it. We need to stop,Continue reading “The Colors of Our Lives”
Four Letters for Ted Cruz
My wife of 35 years uses them all the time to me. STFU When you are paid a salary to serve the people of your state, it is meant for more pressing things than complaining to Sesame Street for vaccinating children on their show. Covid is still rampaging through your state, inflation is causing evenContinue reading ” Four Letters for Ted Cruz”
Carry On
The more things change, the more they stay the same… The Golden State Warriors won another NBA title, Manchester City bought the world’s best striker in Erling Harlen, and my Manchester United are doing absolutely nothing, except watch players fleeing due to mismanaged contracts. I think losing Jesse Lingard will return to bite them inContinue reading “Carry On”
WTF?
As soulmate to a strong woman, I am deeply offended at anything that offends her. To characterize the recent overturn of Roe v Wade as offensive is offensive to the word offensive. (see what I did there?) You can make lists ‘til the cows come home, but I just want the names of all ofContinue reading “WTF?”
Embarrassed? I think not.
I have been very busy the last few days and I am finalizing my playlist for my 8-11 gig tomorrow night at Woolly’s Watering Hole in Franklin, OH. I’ll give away a couple books and T-shirts so as to leave a small footprint for a possible return gig. Why should I be embarrassed? I haveContinue reading “Embarrassed? I think not.”
I Try
To quote Billy Jack, iconic badass from the 70’s. When I see a story about a cow actually being arrested and imprisoned for murder, I try and accept that sometimes news stories are about crime, politics, sports, and sometimes it is about arresting and imprisoning animals. Granted, it is in South Sudan, but come on.Continue reading “I Try”
