I just got to meet Karen’s niece and nephews today. They are the offspring of younger sister Kris and her husband Allan. High school sweethearts. Allan is the rock. A father who has raised three highly intelligent critical thinkers who are a joyous mix of ambition and passion, while maintaining a sense of wonder inContinue reading “Family”

The Friendly Skies
Where did they go? People are going absolutely batshit crazy on planes. If you know me, my solution comes in one word. Parachute. I hope they increase the penalties to include mandatory jail time and a felony on the record. The Domestic Despot Osama bin Karen and I were just discussing this same subject notContinue reading “The Friendly Skies”
Drugs in Sports
Wake n’ Bake Session 1001. Remember The Box Tops? Here are two subjects that are supposed to be mutually exclusive of each other. But they aren’t. The latest incident involves a young American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson who was disqualified, suspended, and then, to add insult to injury, she was not selected to run with theContinue reading “Drugs in Sports”
Ooh La La!
This is a repost of this blog from 5/17/21. I was going through my “stats” and evidently my mad computer skillz have once-again hindered my efforts. I will be reposting the others as needed. As a songwriter and an author, I have occasion to cross over. I love listening to, and playing the “story” songsContinue reading “Ooh La La!”
The Decision
Trey Williams pried open the front door of his small house, carefully catching the tattered screen door to avoid it from slamming shut. “Trey? My man!” his father shouted from the den. “How did practice go today? You guys ready for Poly tomorrow?” Trey poked his head into the room as his Dad stood toContinue reading “The Decision”
Breaking Training
It’s my freshman year of high school and I am ready to try out for the varsity football team. I was travelling between countries, so I missed training and ended up rushing through my warmup. Predictably, I pulled my hamstring on the first round of forty-yard dashes. I would miss the entire football season, andContinue reading “Breaking Training”
Focus
Or lack of. Whichever your tendency. Perspective . If you lack focus on something, aren’t you really saying you are simply focused on something else? I’m starting to make sense to myself, so I know I am stoned. Speaking of which, I will be making a trip to the dispensary later this morning. The weatherContinue reading “Focus”
Zoos
I hate them. Not for what they are, but what they represent. Man’s dominion over the animal world. Sometimes I get so stoned that I wish there were this benevolent large animal that has just had it up to here and has had enough. I hope this animal would spend a few days out inContinue reading “Zoos”
Now Hiring
I see the signs everywhere. Everybody needs help to climb back up on the horse and ride again. I am infused with hope every time I see one. Hell, a part of me still reacts and that little stupid voice inside me says “you can still do it. You should apply.” I have been officiallyContinue reading “Now Hiring”
No win situation
I’ll get this rant out of the way now, because, quite frankly, this is like going up against Iron Mike Tyson in his prime, like no way you win. As a business model, the oligarchy of pharmaceutical companies projects to well over 500 billion dollars a year, and with the global pandemic, that number isContinue reading “No win situation”
