I used to love it when the first SweetTart out of the roll was a cherry one. I hated moving from country to country as an Air Force family, but I really loved meeting and exchanging with new peoples and cultures. I love dogs, but hated it when I had to undergo a very painfulContinue reading “Love/Hate”

Scary Christmas!
The one time of year that I still look forward to just doesn’t seem to hold the old magic that it used to. War(s). Hatred. Prejudice. Both learned behaviors. The streaming services holding hostage the viewer by restricting access to the “good” Christmas movies and not the formulaic and predictable Hallmark scripted movies. Boring. Now,Continue reading “Scary Christmas!”
More Than a Dance
So I got together with some musicians I used to play with back in the early nineties and it was a blast. Only thirty years removed from our last gig together, we sounded surprisingly tight, albeit a little rusty. There was a bigger crowd than I expected, and we were pleasantly surprised at the energyContinue reading “More Than a Dance”
Of All the Ways…
Mass killing. Guns. Knives. Bombs. Virus. Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes? There are forty-three less hikers in Colorado alone this year that would LOVE to beg to differ, but they can’t. They’re dead. Done in by mosquitoes. In 1966, under the summer lights of our Little League baseball games, I would stand in center field where the brightestContinue reading “Of All the Ways…”
Innocence Lost
When I was a young man, I carried the mindset of a wide-eyed child, marveling at everything this amazing world has to offer. I was always treated well no matter which country I was in, so I thought nice, welcoming people were the norm. Right. Three thieves break into a house. One injured and arrested.Continue reading “Innocence Lost”
Grey Divorce
I had no idea what that even was until some family members we have are going through issues after forty years. Forty years. I don’t have a clue about the new ways of going about getting married, as I was one of those saps that did the whole “struck by a thunderbolt” thing when IContinue reading “Grey Divorce”
How Bad? Puhleeze
How bad do you think you have it in this country? Bad enough to climb on to the rudder of an oceangoing vessel to points unknown? Two Nigerians did just that to escape the poverty and injustices in their homeland. So shut the fuck up and appreciate what you have. With the Domestic Despot staunchlyContinue reading “How Bad? Puhleeze”
Happenings
They are putting up a two-billion dollar amusement park amid all the hustle and bustle of northeast Oklahoma, just off Route 66. Over by that old steer skull. Talk about setting yourself up for failure. Imagine jumping on a plane, exotic locales and lush tropical gardens dancing through your head as you lay back toContinue reading “Happenings”
Why Bother?
All the time and money being wasted in a fruitless effort to keep fucking with that bloviating gasbag Trump. You know nothing will come of it. NOT because he is innocent, hell no. Because he has spent years building his paper kingdom, and it is stacked with his remaining psycophants who were not born withContinue reading “Why Bother?”
No Clue
My boy the little bald lawn gnome Putin has decided to kill more of his generals. If he keeps this up, who will welcome a promotion the next time around? So the Russians keep fucking with our drones; come on Biden, do something. I get so tired of hearing stories how countries (go ahead pickContinue reading “No Clue”
