A few years back, I can’t recall exactly who, but one of the major golf companies had an ad campaign featuring the great Annika Sorenstam (or it could have been Michelle Wie), both amazing athletes, and the gist of the commercials was the concept in sports “play like a girl.” Now, when I was growingContinue reading “Play Like a Girl”

Speak Up!
Keeping with the schedule, I am reciting another excerpt today from my first book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! and I invite you to examine yet another twisted side of my psyche. I did the first two stories under the letter “A” so today, under the letter “B” I have included the single, (but powerfulContinue reading “Speak Up!”
Mea Culpa
I apologize. I didn’t even have to receive a thump upside my noggin by Karen. In my post this past Sunday on musicals, I referenced a “gay gene” contributing for my love of the theater. You would think in this day and age (that is an OLD person’s saying) that a learned individual (guilty asContinue reading “Mea Culpa”
No More Tomorrows
The title of this weeks’ original song was actually a collaboration between my brother Ed and I. Ed had the melody bouncing around his gourd and had started on the lyrics. I basically finished the melody and added a chorus. We finished the lyrics together over a bottle of Stolichnaya and some Marin County Greenbud.Continue reading “No More Tomorrows”
Baby Steps
I took my first steps without the aid of a walker or cane today. It is the first time I have been able to perambulate in 16 months. One more time God: Thank you. The doctor spent most of my appointment time explaining the details and machinations of my new prosthetic leg, one that allowsContinue reading “Baby Steps”
What the World Needs Now
I know, I know; I’m supposed to say Love Sweet Love, and that is something we always need, but I don’t think it is what the world needs right now. In the words of badass rocker Bob Seger Turn the Page. I was taught by my parents to accept losses gracefully; to acknowledge that youContinue reading “What the World Needs Now”
Payback
Karma, comeuppance, or whatever you want to call it, payback is the dominion of the slighted and wronged. If you are NOT slighted or wronged, any misperceived justice you dispense will just make you the asshole doing the wrong. The following is a true story based on THE MOST EMBARASSING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TOContinue reading “Payback”
Stewardship
So many cultures on this planet, and an overwhelmingly great amount of them, believe in the stewardship of the Earth’s resources. To them Mother Nature is not a figment; they treat the planet as an equal spirit as alive as the beautiful flora and fauna and the animals that populate her and depend on herContinue reading “Stewardship”
Anger
As promised (I’m really trying to get better following through on my promises) I am starting TODAY 2/10 with the first audio installment of my book which I am attempting to narrate myself. Look for my installments to majorly increase in quality as I learn what the hell I am doing. Remember “good things comeContinue reading “Anger”
The Gambling Bug
Well here is a subject I can speak about that I actually know something about. I spent the last years of the 70’s and the early 80’s in Las Vegas. I loved every second of it, and I hated every second of it. I succumbed to the gambling bug which has bit so many. IContinue reading “The Gambling Bug”
