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”

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”
Hold On!
I am always the first to find fault when it comes to my medications, but I must give a shout out when there is a substantially better product that fully addresses my needs, including the most important: perception of value. I speak of the 1/2 oz. of First Class Funk, a hybrid strain packing aContinue reading “Hold On!”
Hold On!
Every time I turn around, Trump has signed another bill or made another proposal, or has even reached out to everybody and his brother for a conference. WTF? He didn’t do this much in the entire four years of his first presidency. I want to think that is a good thing, but part of meContinue reading “Hold On!”
Turn the Page (again)
It’s been five days since my Irish got whipped by the Ohio State Buckeyes in the national championship game. And contrary to popular belief in South Bend, the sun did indeed rise today. My boys did me proud, but there was no mistake they were beaten by a bigger, stronger, and faster team. Good coachingContinue reading “Turn the Page (again)”
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”
Never Too Late
Well, I did it again. Despite my assertions, I have gone and got myself involved with another musical situation. After our band Sedona broke up I said (for the 20th time) that I was through with bands. But duets are different. Fast, EFFICIENT practices. So, this young dude who has been helping me out withContinue reading “Never Too Late”
Where Did it Go?
It was here just a minute ago. My memory. Despite my wife’s inaccurate recollections, I am just now starting to notice small signs that my once precise eidetic memory is slipping. There are TWO THINGS that I always remember. Always have and always will. Who I owe money to and who owes me money. 100%Continue reading “Where Did it Go?”
