In 2019 a guy in Texas shoots and kills twenty-three people at a Walmart. Four years later, justice, and I use that term very loosely, is meted out. For the domestic terorrist act which was also enhanced by the hate crime designation, the person, and I use THAT term very loosely, was given ninety, countContinue reading “Odds and Ends”

Alright ‘Fess Up!
Whose is it? Who left their blow on the tabletop in the White House? I know you can eliminate me from the list of potential suspects. I will and have lost my glasses, my driver’s licese, my passport, my car keys, my house keys, my wallet, you name it, I’ve lost it. I even lostContinue reading “Alright ‘Fess Up!”
Trifecta
In my effort to cultivate some interest for my first novel, I am running this excerpt from the book by running it three consecutive days. I hope that you check out some of my blogs, as I have been writing them for over two years. *** I’ve been lolly-gagging and dilly-dallying now for two yearsContinue reading “Trifecta”
No Excuses! Again
I’ve been lolly-gagging and dilly-dallying now for two years since I said I would write my second book, my first novel. I have titled it If Only…, and if you were following my blog way back then, here’s what I said: About the Book If Only… represents my first full-length novel. The bookContinue reading “No Excuses! Again”

And You Wonder Why…
They keep doing dumb shit in Texas; they have become a punchline for police inaction and cowardice, the political leaders can do no right when it comes to abortion, and they had to postpone a high school graduation because there were not enough students that qualified to get their diplomas. So, as the old dumbassesContinue reading “And You Wonder Why…”
Songwriting Class II
“When it’s too tough for you, it’s just right for me.” Words I was raised on. My big brother. He was the star high school player and I was a slow eighty-pound guard on our Pee Wee Pop Warner football team on Tachikawa Air Force Base. After school, I would head to football practice asContinue reading “Songwriting Class II”
Can’t Do It
Nope. The only Queen I have known in my lifetime called her “Queen Consort” and that’s what she shall remain. Relax. She will not succeed the King were he to expire. Charles’ progeny will continue the lineage Oh, I’m sure I will hear it about this, but you know me. British women, on the whole,Continue reading “Can’t Do It”
Incredible
People are still killing people because they can’t stop drinking and getting behind a wheel. It’s like cigarette smoke. If it only stayed within the body of the smoker and didn’t stink up someone else’s personal space, there would be no problem. Or if the offending smoker didn’t act like the bovine creature they areContinue reading “Incredible”
Post #800!
I woke up this morning with the worst throat cold ever, but I couldn’t blow off practice, so I showed up anyway. Just my (our) luck. I have been madly, vainly, searching for a drummer to hook up with us and complete the band. So not one, or two, but three potential drummer-bandmates have askedContinue reading “Post #800!”
