Starting a Band at Age 68 Our newest member of our as yet-unnamed band is a guy named Paul who showed up and meshed with our lead guitarist, and we were basically on the same page. We’ll get better. Much better. I can tell from talking with these two very cool people that all weContinue reading “Day 2”

The Hunt for Red October
A great read by Tom Clancy and so technical that I feel he explains it well enough that I could pull a five-hundred foot long nuclear attack submarine out of dock and head to open sea. Just like in the movie, the Russians have lost a huge nuclear submarine. The headline said they lost it,Continue reading “The Hunt for Red October”
I Hate to Say It, but…
Did I not say it was going to be a rough go of it travelling this holiday season? I actually feel bad for being so right. All you see on the news is the pariah they are making out of Southwest Airlines for their volatile cancellation fiasco that saw 90% of ALL US flight cancellationsContinue reading “I Hate to Say It, but…”
Cue Ball Side Pocket
Can you believe the stones on that hairless dipshit of a manager for Manchester United? He fired Ronaldo, the greatest striker the world has ever seen. What has he accomplished in football? So he’s won a few titles. In Amsterdam. Big fucking deal. My beloved Cocker Spaniel Bruiser, who is licking his balls right nowContinue reading “Cue Ball Side Pocket”
Think About It
`1Two million people as of about an hour ago, are without power in the wake of Hurricane Ian. I knew two Ian’s in my lifetime. One was a pussy, and the other was one of the meanest SOB’s you would ever run across. Best be left alone and not to be fucked with. Kind ofContinue reading “Think About It”
Deterrent or Not?
You want to stop crime? Stiffer deterrents. There are only two things that people understand. Time and death. So murderers will end up as compost and criminals will end up in work camps. You don’t need an infrastructure plan, Jojo. I’ve got all the free labor you want. Empty the prisons; every last one ofContinue reading “Deterrent or Not?”
In So Many Words…
I prefer the succinct to the loquacious. In my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I have taken the genre of the short story and synthesized it. Distilling the product to deliver an entire story within the lines of just a few carefully constructed sentences and paragraphs. I derived my main writing style and inspirationContinue reading ” In So Many Words…”
Did it Ever Occur to You?
That there are brave policemen that are members of the Uvalde Police Department who were not there when that tragedy occurred? Testosterone-fueled law enforcement officers that knew the meaning of the “enforcement” part of the equation? They would have stormed through the door, without thinking of their own safety, brought down the wrath of God,Continue reading “Did it Ever Occur to You?”
On and Off Again
It is raining on and off again in southern Ohio, which is why it stays so green here. August 28 is the traditional end of the summer, and here it is rigidly adhered to. Like the space vehicle that sits idle on the launching pad. I read where a majority of Democrats do not wantContinue reading “On and Off Again”
Another Letter to Robin Meade
As many of you know who follow my crazy blog, I always invite Robin Meade, the perky little Newsbabe from HLN’s Morning News program whenever I play a gig. Not surprisingly, she missed my show at the Sycamore Springs Nursing home last week despite my invitation. Here goes: Hi Robin: It is me, Maddogg. IContinue reading “Another Letter to Robin Meade”
