If you turn on the telly to check out the U.S. Open, you will see shots hit into the wire grass, the pine trees, the pine needles, the water, hell it seems like everywhere but in the hole. When I go golfing, sporting my 35+ handicap, I can putt the ball and it might endContinue reading “What a Simple Game”

Working Stoned
When I think back on the entirety of my working career, I really went to work stoned. A lot. When you are a young chef candidate, you are crushing long hours with other young hopefuls, and guess what? Every one of them is high. Once you attain a level of autonomy and say-so in anContinue reading “Working Stoned”
Am I Nuts?
I’ll be late posting this blog because, despite my insistence, I am currently texting another musician who has taken a hiatus from his successful working band Wood ‘n Steel Revival and we are in the embryonic stages of forming yet another band. I know, I know… My short-lived awesome little band Sedona we had dissolvedContinue reading “Am I Nuts?”
Give Me a Break
I’m playing this online golf game and I sink an extremely difficult eighteen-foot putt over a huge break for a birdie. My opponent has about a seven-foot putt to tie me. The slope is almost impossible to navigate, so what happens? The machine says, “player took a gimme.” Kiss my ass. When I play golfContinue reading “Give Me a Break”
Road Trips
Not just for a weekend concert. Or a family get together. I mean pack up your shit, hit the road, and don’t come back for at least five years, if then. I get it. Not everyone can do it, and some people thought I was a big asshole for doing it. I didn’t, and stillContinue reading “Road Trips”
Jolly Old
I retain fond memories of my time in Europe, particularly in the midlands of England, outside the city of Oxford. Housing for military at the small ex-RAF base Upper Heyford was at a premium, and my mom always insisted we did NOT live in base housing, rather, she preferred us to encounter our new hostContinue reading “Jolly Old”

Legally Speaking
Just when I was starting to think our justice system had lost its balls, they dole out a whopping four-month sentence to another one of Trump’s sycophants. This is the guy (Steve Bannon) who told you to shove your subpoenas up your ass. I’m sure if he ever sees the inside of a prison, itContinue reading “Legally Speaking”

I KNOW Why Me?
I am my best ally and my own worst enemy. I elevated myself to levels of euphoria and visited the depths of the abyss. From the year 1974 to 1987, if given any two choices, I would indubitably choose the option that was the worse for me. Consistently. Knowingly. When I entered the higher echelonsContinue reading “I KNOW Why Me?”
