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?”
Holding My Breath
No new wars to report. No mass murders. No new charges levied against Trump. No stupid shit coming out of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s mug. I’m NOT holding my breath to see how many millions of dollars the next high school phenom will get to play football for one of the NCAA’s money machines. These kidsContinue reading “Holding My Breath”
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”
Freedom of Speech
The first amendment and all that. I have been banned from Facebook because of a story I previously published here on this blog. It was excerpted from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Talk about small-minded. I tried to explain to the “Appeal Board” that my words were a creative work of fiction, butContinue reading “Freedom of Speech”
