A couple years ago I wrote this book whilst sitting around, getting stoned, and reminiscing about this wild ride I have been on since the year 1954. I have always enjoyed short and powerful as opposed to long and flowery, although in good writing, there is room for every genre. So what I did wasContinue reading “My Book in Audio”

Did That Happen?
A man jumped into the ocean to save his daughter who had fallen overboard. Of course the dumbasses in the press want a story, so they throw around negligence and failure to adequately supervise and protect their child while onboard, but that doesn’t make the father’s actions any less heroic. That takes balls, yes, butContinue reading “Did That Happen?”
No News is Good News
So we have plenty of news. I guess flying under the radar is the fact that we are bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities. Now I understand that kind of frivolity if you are 98 years old and dying by the minute, and you are fine with calling it a day. But for the rest of us,Continue reading “No News is Good News”
As I Was Saying…
Between the countries that we have been banned, or encouraged not to travel to, and the countries that are banning their citizens from visiting us, it just looks a whole lot easier to stay home, have a few cool ones, relax, and shoot the first person who makes a noise outside your front door. jk.Continue reading “As I Was Saying…”
When All Else Fails…
What do you do when you have to accomplish something and you have tried everything imaginable to no avail? Most people will stop at what they think are their limitations. Parents tell us (as all parents should tell their children) that we can “accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.” They aren’t lying.Continue reading “When All Else Fails…”
Fork it Over
I have no earthly idea what that means in the figurative sense, but according to my life companion for the last forty years, I don’t have a clue about anything anyway. I can see “hand it over” and even the incorrect “give it over” which are the instructions the Domestic Despot gives to our doggiesContinue reading “Fork it Over”
Smells
Some of my very favorites: Newborn baby smell. Doesn’t last for long. Unspoiled. Japanese villages food stalls. New cut lumber. Old car smell. As opposed to the clean, factory-generated new car smell. I’m talking an old Rolls Royce or Bentley Town Car that has endured five kids, three grandchildren and cartons upon cartons of DunhillsContinue reading “Smells”
A Gypsy Girl Named Shannon
Not a John Stewart song, but a real girl. Bright garnet-yellow eyes, smooth café skin, and a throaty giggle that first seduced then paralyzed. I met Shannon in the high Sierra Mountains in northern California where she camped with her family of seven: Her father Grecko, mother Sashay, and her quadruplet sisters, not one ofContinue reading “A Gypsy Girl Named Shannon”
Gone But Not Forgotten…
I hope you didn’t forget me, but I have been swamped putting together and pulling off a charity benefit adoption event and concert for the local Humane Society. It was not a piece of cake. Unforseen circumstances, as in a death in the family and the absolute worst thing a committed performer can do: no-call,Continue reading “Gone But Not Forgotten…”
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”
