I don’t care if they are fake. No, not those, get your mind out of the gutter. I am talking about the feel-good stories people post on Facebook. You know the ones I’m talking about: the little injured bird that gets befriended by an iguana, for example. The iguana heals his little feathered newfound friendContinue reading “1000 Posts…When Will it End?”

Happenings
They are putting up a two-billion dollar amusement park amid all the hustle and bustle of northeast Oklahoma, just off Route 66. Over by that old steer skull. Talk about setting yourself up for failure. Imagine jumping on a plane, exotic locales and lush tropical gardens dancing through your head as you lay back toContinue reading “Happenings”
I Was a Stripper
True story. After I left school and travelled all over this beautiful country of ours, I met up with a scotch-soaked bar room queen in Tulsa. Not exactly a Rolling Stones song, but oh, so close. Shady was her name, but her given name was Shadelle La Fontaine Pemberton. She wasContinue reading “I Was a Stripper”
Here We Go Again
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that whoever is responsible for a string of poisonings of Iranian girls in the country will face death if caught. (I would say convicted, but I don’t think their system of justice is encumbered by slow appeals, tricky letters of the law, or pesky convictions). Death. Steal something.Continue reading “Here We Go Again”
A Flock of Sparrows
Oh, I would like to think that we were eagles soaring high and free, but we were not. I speak very fondly of the time I spent traveling the country with my dog Chopper in an old ’65 Ford pickup I bought off my brother. It started out as just myself and my German ShorthairedContinue reading “A Flock of Sparrows”
Did I Hear That Right?
The Memphis Police Department, embroiled in the murder of one of its citizens they took an oath to serve and protect, has decided they will simply stop racial profiling. Simple. Who knew it would be that easy? Saying they will stop racial profiling is the same as making a recipe for a cake that requiresContinue reading “Did I Hear That Right?”
Help Us Name Our Band
At sixty-eight years young, I have accepted the job as lead singer of a working blues band. Five pieces. Drums. Badass experienced drummer. Rhythm guitar. Bodybuilder and nice guy. I don’t think anyone will want to fuck with our equipment with him onstage. He’s also a really cool dude. The lead guitar player is oneContinue reading “Help Us Name Our Band”
Striking Out
It is OK to strike out. Once in a while. In a sport where the players earn millions of dollars (what sport doesn’t pay you millions anymore?) for hitting a ball, you can earn the highest level of fame and accolades if you are successful thirty-five percent of the time. Thirty-five. I was successful thirty-threeContinue reading “Striking Out”
The Cardiologist
I went to him today and I like him. He is a no-bullshit, here’s the situation, here’s what we’re gonna do about it type of guy. I have seven stents keeping the blood flowing in my chest and one stent in my left carotid artery. He was amazed that I haven’t been on a bloodContinue reading “The Cardiologist”
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”
