She wanted to be famous. Now ol’ what’s-her-name from Tempe, Arizona (my old stomping grounds) is pushing up cacti. Dead in her teens. Thanks once again goes to TikTok. In this corner, weighing (according to himself) a svelte 180 pounds of all muscle, is the president of the United States. In this corner, outweighed byContinue reading “The Way of the World”

Stay With Me Now
Lego says their new billion dollar plant they are building in Vietnam will be “all green.” Talk about a load. How can it be all green if those indestructible pieces made of nothing natural from this planet are being produced there? If you’ve ever had the pleasure of stepping on a few of them youContinue reading “Stay With Me Now”
Make Up Your Mind(s)
Crime seemed way out of control. Republicans blamed Democrats and in many regards, it is coming to light they were closer to the truth than they appeared. We got it in the form of schools and other youthful institutional settings. And the body count kept on climbing… Respect for law enforcement was at an all-timeContinue reading “Make Up Your Mind(s)”
Pride
Normal pride is good, healthy even. It is only when it traverses the boundaries of decency into the realm of hubris and arrogance that it is counter-productive. Cry all you want about the economy and the active and impending tariffs, but one good thing to come out of it (well, two actually). 1) people areContinue reading “Pride”
Enjoy the Ride
A 73 year-old Australian man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and it was discovered he was still under a suspension that would ban him from driving again for another 92 years. He can drive again when he is 165 years-old. I lost my license briefly after one of the many bouts IContinue reading “Enjoy the Ride”
Tourney Time
Even my wife Karen, the most non-competitive-everyone-should-get-a-trophy person on Earth will watch an exciting NCAA tournament basketball game. As far as the NBA goes, she has even taken a liking to Jimmy Butler and she doesn’t like Lebron so she’s a hater, too. I think the last second buzzer beaters for a big underdog teamContinue reading “Tourney Time”
Around the World
Raise your hand if you feel sorry for any of the multibillionaires that were making hundreds of millions and now are suffering temporary setbacks. Yeah, me neither. The Show-me state seems to still have one foot stuck in the Wild West as they debate a bill that would place a $1000.00 per head bounty forContinue reading “Around the World”
Marijuana
I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”
How Lucky Can You Get?
The first time I remember hearing the expression was when I was a horny teenager and it was whatever you did or could do, to put you in a position to partake in some sort of sexual activity. Now, if you don’t believe in luck, as some people don’t, it tells me a couple thingsContinue reading “How Lucky Can You Get?”
Just Getting Started
In this, my seventieth decade on planet earth, I have decided to do something. Go figure. I will continue to learn the blues lead guitar and will play in several “blues jams” and open mics to see if I can put together one last band before I hang up my PRS. I will shave fiveContinue reading “Just Getting Started”
