I am certainly not trying to jinx anything, but there is now a small flame of hope burning in Old Trafford. Just a couple matches into Michael Carrick’s interim caretaker manager audition for the Manchester United Red Devils and at long last, I sense a renewed excitement on the pitch and in the team afterContinue reading “They Said it Couldn’t be Done”

Who Ya Gonna Believe?
That venerable French museum The Louvre is raising its admission price by 45%. To go packed like sardines and look at old stuff. Don’t get me wrong; I love museums and I have been fortunate enough to visit several of the world’s greatest. But what can they be escalating prices for? Are they adding moreContinue reading “Who Ya Gonna Believe?”
Differences
She has trouble boiling water. I am a starred French Chef She couldn’t tell a lie if she tried. I can. I also know that if my life ever came down to hanging in the balance dependent on Karen lying for me, adios muchachos! Black hair. Blonde hair. Dark brown skin. Pale white shin. AbsolutelyContinue reading “Differences”
Red Flags
Your wife is always “too tired” and is totally fine with you going without her. Red flag. Last-minute and pop-up plans are met with a smile and a wistful, “oh well.” Red flag. You decide to drive to a club to go out drinking with your buddies. Red flag. There are too many options thatContinue reading “Red Flags”
What a World!
Juan Soto, the highly-coveted free agent outfielder from last season’s New York Yankees, has just signed a 760 million dollar contract to play baseball for the New York Mets until the year 2040. Just in case, he also received 75 million just for signing the contract. Are we paying our educators, the individuals responsible forContinue reading “What a World!”
The One That Got Away
We all have one. That one special person, maybe even your very first crush that turned into a boyfriend-girlfriend situation. But then something happened. Life. You moved, they moved, whatever. As a military dependent living with a very ambitious Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, we travelled a lot. It was our lastContinue reading “The One That Got Away”
Spanking Your Children
I know, I know. A lot of people bow up and get all froggy when they hear the “s” word, but truth be told (which I will do on occasion), there are some kids that could use a little extra somethin’-somethin’ when it comes to their discipline routine. And everyone knows who they are. GoContinue reading “Spanking Your Children”
Going Under Again?
Man, I really hope not. I have been off of my feet completely for about eight weeks now and I go to pick up my prosthetic, supposedly newer, better, molded to my exact measurements, blah blah blah, and I am up on the leg two minutes and that old familiar sting (Hurt); there is fluidContinue reading “Going Under Again?”
The Long Wait is Over
For me, anyway. The start of the Premier League football season begins today with my Manchester United Reds hosting Fulham, a team that sneaks into the top ten on occasion, but are in no danger for the top six spots. Now, although I am very skeptical about the retention of manager Erik Ten Hag, IContinue reading “The Long Wait is Over”
Shameless
Just when I start to think I’ve seen it all… A man on the moon. A presidential assassination. A black president. A failed American coup. A presidential candidate selling bibles to raise money. Look, you start to get desperate when you are down to your last seven billion dollars. Cuts have to be made. He’llContinue reading “Shameless”
