Man, I really hope not. I have been off of my feet completely for about eight weeks now and I go to pick up my prosthetic, supposedly newer, better, molded to my exact measurements, blah blah blah, and I am up on the leg two minutes and that old familiar sting (Hurt); there is fluidContinue reading “Going Under Again?”

Another Brick in the Wall
When I moved up to Las Vegas in 1977, I had been offered a partial academic-athletic scholarship to play soccer and attend the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Thanks to some European influences, the team was starting to grow a strong following. One of the coaches was Thomas Heinz from Stuttgart, Germany, and an ex-Bundesliga (topContinue reading “Another Brick in the Wall”
Funny/Not Funny
Don’t look now, but Eli Lily, one of the charter members of Big Pharma, is going to be lowering the cost of insulin by 70%. No why would these money-grubbing opportunists do a thing like that? Government pressure. That’s funny. That’s all it took? How many people died because those greedy bastards kept their pricesContinue reading “Funny/Not Funny”
Crazy World
I was just writing about Brittany Griner yesterday, and JoJo is finally prepared to talk with BabyHead Putin about a prisoner exchange. Not that I am claiming any sort of influence, but it is interesting timing. We are always hearing about fires, and many encroach on my old west coast home in Santa Barbara, butContinue reading “Crazy World”
Numbers
Being “good with numbers” is pretty much a requirement for any successful businessperson. I don’t care to even think about how much money I wasted in my life. The amount would disgust some, but I don’t give a shit. It makes me smile. And it gave me true stories that others can only read about.Continue reading “Numbers”
Golf Tale
I was sitting here at my desk checking out some of the framed pics I keep close. One I keep very close is the shot of me, on the Tournament Player’s Championship golf course in Scottsdale. I only had a few occasions to play there, and I managed to be invited there on three occasions.Continue reading “Golf Tale”
Lost
In your sea-green feline eyes In the perfume on your graceful neck In the sweet caress of Faith and Safety. From all not you Two souls in flames. Streaking A frozen crystal alpine lake Hot cheeks touching Snow melting And you never even told me your name. Lost. ***** Happy Friday one and all. ThankContinue reading “Lost”
I Did it Again
Once again, my mad computer skills. Not only did I not post my 403rd blog yesterday, I somehow deleted it entirely from my computer. So here’s a few observations: Enough with commercials showing people loading up ten pounds of food on a plate made of pressed paper, only to see the food spill all overContinue reading “I Did it Again”
The Return of the Satin Latin
I left the hospital yesterday afternoon but not before I started walking my way out because it was taking too long for someone to bring me a wheelchair. Something about reducing the hospital’s liability. Sounded to me like they were just buying time. Time that I don’t have since this was my 23rd invasive surgery.Continue reading “The Return of the Satin Latin”
Be on the Alert
Why? Why do you want to live life continually “on the alert” for things which may or may not, happen? Go gives a flying shit anyway (as if shit could fly)? I am drawing the line on alerts. I just got an alert from my bank telling me “you have no alerts at this time.”Continue reading “Be on the Alert”
