I love competition. I love excellent performance in ANY field of endeavor. I look on with the same sense of awe and wonder at a Super Bowl trophy as I do a perfect 10.0 at a Women’s gymnastics meet. Or watching a master landscaper do their thing to a yard, leaving it and the worldContinue reading “The Skinny”

Ding! Ding!
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has to be able to see the “writing on the wall….” She’s next. Who else is there? And forget about the little incident where an unflattering picture of her was taken down when people mistook the wrinkly, weathered red neck of an actual turkey with her own. He dumpedContinue reading “Ding! Ding!”
Alcoholism
As I enter into the last chapter of my life, I look back and smile. The smile is genuine; I am truly grateful to be alive and with a woman I still can’t stand to be away from for any length of time at all. But it almost never happened. Because I’m an alcoholic. IContinue reading “Alcoholism”
Night and Day
I have been out of commission for a week now, fighting back from a case of pneumonia. It also affected my soulmate Karen and we are both just now coming out of it. I figure one or two more days should do it. Ten days recovery time. I’m not going to lie; I got reallyContinue reading “Night and Day”
Can’t Win ‘em All
Venezuelans are still smiling today in the afterglow of their awesome victory over the United States in the World Baseball Classic. This game marks the second straight WBC where the USA was defeated in the championship game. That’s right. The Japanese did it last time with the best player on the planet, Japan’s Shohei OhtaniContinue reading “Can’t Win ‘em All”
Back For More
The headline said Five Burgers Linked to Colon Cancer… That’s all I read. So, throw those five burgers away and … Boom! I did it again. Just cured colon cancer. Sometimes even I don’t know how I do it! It is a crappy day… The temperature is dancing right around seventy degrees. No wind. Sunny.Continue reading “Back For More”
Come Again?
I think about five or six days ago I posted a warning about how the use of cyberwarfare might be part of Iran’s battle plans and now they are screwing around with our missile defense systems. Even an old piker like me knows that can’t be real good. I’ve heard that life imitates art andContinue reading “Come Again?”
You Can Not Be Serious
Just when I thought I have heard it all… Transabled. Translation: dumbass. These are truly damaged individuals who are not satisfied with God’s gifts, and who want and choose to be disabled, maiming and blinding themselves so they can live like disabled persons. You don’t have to injure yourselves. If you really want to knowContinue reading “You Can Not Be Serious”
Your Guess is as Good as Mine
Maybe even better. Kid Rock had one good song (Cowboy), and he thinks he’s a music icon now. The song that was released in 1998. Age does not make you iconic. If he thinks for one second that he can command ticket prices of $5,000 for his upcoming tour, well then this extra from theContinue reading “Your Guess is as Good as Mine”
The Long and Short of it
Now President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is jumping all froggy on our president. Like Colombia is the model for anything. Puh-leeze. The corruption and fraud existed on several layers in Minnesota, not just a couple of barefoot Somali kids playing around on a computer. So, when I hear Democrat Governor Tim Walz deny knowing anythingContinue reading “The Long and Short of it”
