So some chefs are starting to use marijuana products in their dishes. Took long enough. And they wonder why the clientele is very happy, talkative, and have that unmistakable glow you get when you ingest a decent amount of THC. Don’t you notice how being stoned enhances your senses anyway? The depth of the platesContinue reading “They Did it Again”

Check This Out
Some nut job in where else, Oklahoma, ate a last meal which he did not deserve. That’s the story. Not that he admitted remorse for his unforgivable crime of placing a three year-old boy who had just wet the bed, on a scorching furnace, and then raising him high in the air and slamming himContinue reading “Check This Out”
Stay With Me Now
No question that I am, and always have been a big dog lover starting with our family pets to our two Cocker Spaniel brothers tearing through the house tonight. I am seeing far too many stories of children and adults being killed by dogs. Before I go any further in my own thought process, IContinue reading “Stay With Me Now”
Wacky World
A British teacher had an affair with his student, married her, and had two children with her. So what was his punishment for what in America might be considered felony charges? Well, he faced no jail time. He paid no fines. His name was removed from the Teaching Registry. Ouch. Hard cheese. His ass wouldContinue reading “Wacky World”
Oh Brother!
Are you fucking kidding me? Psilocybin mushrooms temporarily cure depression. No shit. It took what, a half a century and probably millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and the best your scientific minds could come up with is that mushrooms temporarily cure depression? All you would have had to do, to spare yourselfContinue reading “Oh Brother!”
Selling Life
By now, the secret’s out. T-cells. It appears to be the single greatest medical discovery in decades, and I just saw the story that made its way to Sunday Morning on CBS. What really stood out to me in the story was the parents’ fierce determination to try anything and everything possible to save theirContinue reading “Selling Life”
School Safety
Talk about a contradiction of terms. Safety measures have come a long way in schools, but when you look closely, not very far at all. You had a school bully who kept the rest of the students in line. There were hall monitors, composed of teachers with bad attitudes because they would much rather beContinue reading “School Safety”
Heartbreak
I don’t like that word. Your heart does not get broken, per se, when a loved one passes into the next sphere of existence. Broken implies something that needs to be repaired, but your heart will carry the deep hurt of loss until you pass. You can’t fix it. Before I get going, check outContinue reading “Heartbreak”
Shaking My Head
An entire family of four from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan have gone missing. In a case that could very well have come from a TV crime show, and I would know, I’ve seen a few of ‘em, this is scary shit. The family left home without taking or caring for their pets. They leftContinue reading “Shaking My Head”
“X” Marks the Spot
In my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s!, I list emotions under every letter of the alphabet. Check out my preface and the short story illustrating the letter “X”: X Since I live in one of the nation’s driest areas (Phoenix, Arizona), my first instinct under this difficult heading was xeric, or pertaining to dryContinue reading ““X” Marks the Spot”
