Sixteen years old and his life is over… Desmond Holly shot and wounded two students at his high school in Evergreen, Colorado before turning the gun on himself, ending his life and continuing the “tradition” of school shootings, the thirteenth going back to Columbine in 1999. Money scandals in high school athletics were nonexistent (orContinue reading “The Lowdown”

Now You’ve Done It
Austria has gone ahead and issued a “warning” to Republican states that there will be “retaliation” by the country in response to the recent Trump-imposed tariffs. Better go to Costco and buy about five-hundred of those little cans of Vienna sausages now. I don’t give a damn how good he can shoot a basketball, JaContinue reading “Now You’ve Done It”
My Dice
I find it really doesn’t blow my dress up at all when I read about how the United States Navy is testing how to launch their aerial death machines faster off aircraft carriers or how the United States Marines have come up with a brand new killing machine. I didn’t know we’ve already taken careContinue reading “My Dice”
Self-Discipline
There was a time early in my life that I exercised no self-discipline whatsoever. I mean, really. Many of the short stories and situations I got myself into in late 70’s-early 80’s Las Vegas are included in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I had it all figured out: I was actually making moneyContinue reading “Self-Discipline”
There Can Be Only One
The Little League baseball World Series is being completed today so why is there two “World Series” championships being played? There is the World Series International Championship and then there is the United States “World Series” championship. One world. One world champion. At least take the words “world series” off the banner for the USContinue reading “There Can Be Only One”
Can You Just Imagine?
One of the benefits of being a bit off-kilter (a polite way of saying nuttier than Cooter Brown) is that there is a non-stop reel of craziness that runs 24/7 through my gourd. If you doubt my craziness, I just wrote nuttier than Cooter Brown. Truly bad cinema. People that know me have come toContinue reading “Can You Just Imagine?”
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?”
Over the Top
Don’t get me started about people who do not tip employees who perform a service for them. Now, if you just stopped there, we would just look at you, roll our eyes, and think what a cheap asshole. But no. It’s when you try and justify your moral ascendancy, in the rarified air ABOVE mortalContinue reading “Over the Top”
My Strategy at the Craps Table
I find it curious that certain of my daily blogs (this is number 948) will occasionally strike a chord with some of my readers. Once, I had mentioned a place, and several responded about it. Lately, my successful run at the Las Vegas casino craps tables in the late-seventies-early eighties brought forth a common question:Continue reading “My Strategy at the Craps Table”
