Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”

Dice
I went to the Four Queens downtown one early morning and there were five people at the crap table: the stickman, and a couple dealers and two players. I was enthralled at the action at craps tables and it drew me like a mosquito to light, so I told one of the dealers that IContinue reading “Dice”
The Best is Yet to Come…
It has to be. Let’s face it; the country is divided, the world is divided and we will never reconcile our differences. If we just use those parameters as the starting point, at least the lack of progress won’t seem as intolerable. DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race? I guess when his own partyContinue reading “The Best is Yet to Come…”
Worlds Apart
As the rise of antisemitism spreads throughout The Greatest Country on Earth (pardon me while I have a good belly laugh), our progress as a civilization appears to have hit one of the buried Ukrainian landmines (Hey remember that war? It’s still going on!). We are in a downward spiral, and it is not hardContinue reading “Worlds Apart”
See What Happens?
When I take a week off from posting blogs? For starters, my Manchester United Red Devils continue to flail helplessly in the quicksand that has become the reign of Erik Ten Hag. It seems like rather than accept responsibility, he thinks he can fire/trade his way to molding a team in his image. But soContinue reading “See What Happens?”
More Than a Dance
So I got together with some musicians I used to play with back in the early nineties and it was a blast. Only thirty years removed from our last gig together, we sounded surprisingly tight, albeit a little rusty. There was a bigger crowd than I expected, and we were pleasantly surprised at the energyContinue reading “More Than a Dance”
I Know it Sounds Corny…
And I’m sure it would be found abhorrent to one of todays’ tech-savvy kids, but I remember in Bossier City, Louisiana in the mid-sixties, I was attending an elementary school. On the school bus home after classes ended, the entire bus would sing songs! I remember “Red Roses for a Blue Lady, Birds and theContinue reading “I Know it Sounds Corny…”
No News
Here’s a thought. How about we go to weekly newscasts? Think about it. What changes from day-to-day? The same hatreds (maybe a few new ones even), the same prejudices (maybe a few new ones even). I don’t need a morning caucus of chowderheads like that Dilton Doily-looking dumbass Joe. Talk about an egomaniacal misogynist. LetContinue reading “No News”
Of All the Ways…
Mass killing. Guns. Knives. Bombs. Virus. Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes? There are forty-three less hikers in Colorado alone this year that would LOVE to beg to differ, but they can’t. They’re dead. Done in by mosquitoes. In 1966, under the summer lights of our Little League baseball games, I would stand in center field where the brightestContinue reading “Of All the Ways…”
Stick to What You Know
The Wall Street Journal, that venerable financial tool, is reporting that the Israeli military is having to enter densely-populated urban areas in their war effort. Genius. I am sure if the Hamas murderers were out in the desert somewhere, the headline would change. What a bunch of pencil-necked numbers crunchers. You won’t see any ofContinue reading “Stick to What You Know”
