New York Governor Kathy Hochul denounced the taping of swastikas on Albany GOP headquarters and labelled the actions “unacceptable.” Ouch. It doesn’t get any harsher than that. The crap that passes for news these days… A story starts, Extraterrestrial aircraft identified in the California sky. First of all, no, you didn’t. Second of all, hey,Continue reading “Goings On”

Self-Confidence
It’s very easy to recognize someone who carries themselves with self-confidence; they are usually quiet and observant, taking everything in and their mind is always working. I got along well utilizing this skill. Especially in the highly competitive fine French dining arena where precision was every bit as important as the creative process. And IContinue reading “Self-Confidence”
Hello Again
My money is on California to be the next state to flip from Democratic to Republican if the antics of their beleaguered governor Gavin Newsome give any indication. Nothing surprises me in our political arena anymore. Take that dumbass New York governor Kathy Hochul whose dumbass solution to a low staffing problem caused by herContinue reading “Hello Again”
And the Beat Goes On…
The president has ordered the release of the over 100,000 previously-classified government documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. Do we really want to know? I don’t understand the logic or strategy behind such a move. Stay tuned… Those of you Trump sycophants who elected him king, do not act shockedContinue reading “And the Beat Goes On…”
Chew on This
Just like an episode of Law and Order, a wrongly imprisoned man was released after thirty years when modern DNA technology backed up his unwavering assertion of innocence. If this indeed holds up, what price tag would you put on what is owed to this person? We can’t just say, “Sorry, oops and move on….Continue reading “Chew on This”
Standards
They should be just what they sound like; set, immovable, intractable and not to be trifled with and avoiding, at all costs, the possibility of lowering your standards. I used to joke to my golf buddies that as much mistrust I have of the medical profession (business), I would still rather have a doctor doContinue reading “Standards”
Patience, My Ass!
As you may, or may not know, I was not blessed with a plethora of patience. And that was at birth. Now add seventy years’ worth of life on planet Earth, and I have next to zero left in the tank. I’ve always had a hard time with stupidity. Ignorance is hard to find faultContinue reading “Patience, My Ass!”
Just Talk to Me
Have you ever tried getting someone on the phone for say, any reason whatsoever, only to drown in a sea of avoidance? And that is only if you are actually able to speak with a person and not another electronic bot. I used to love customer service as part of my job as a FinanceContinue reading “Just Talk to Me”
Smells
Some of my very favorites: Newborn baby smell. Doesn’t last for long. Unspoiled. Japanese villages food stalls. New cut lumber. Old car smell. As opposed to the clean, factory-generated new car smell. I’m talking an old Rolls Royce or Bentley Town Car that has endured five kids, three grandchildren and cartons upon cartons of DunhillsContinue reading “Smells”
How Much is Too Much?
A question for the ages… To the person who says that “you can have too much of a good thing,” I say they obviously weren’t living alongside me in Las Vegas in the eighties. Too much money? Right. I have no animosity or envy of rich people. I want them to succeed the same asContinue reading “How Much is Too Much?”
