Buzzkill

Negative people. Immovable antiquated ideologies. Wasted time. You can kind of understand those people out in the desert who are in a hurry to get to the Ultimate. I mean have you seen that place? Anyplace has got to be better than there. Make up your mind, Georgia. You want to be the most redneckContinue reading “Buzzkill”

Pride

Normal pride is good, healthy even. It is only when it traverses the boundaries of decency into the realm of hubris and arrogance that it is counter-productive. Cry all you want about the economy and the active and impending tariffs, but one good thing to come out of it (well, two actually). 1) people areContinue reading “Pride”

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”

Hold On!

Every time I turn around, Trump has signed another bill or made another proposal, or has even reached out to everybody and his brother for a conference. WTF? He didn’t do this much in the entire four years of his first presidency. I want to think that is a good thing, but part of meContinue reading “Hold On!”

Patience, My Ass!

As you may, or may not know, I was not blessed with a plethora of patience. And that was at birth. Now add seventy years’ worth of  life on planet Earth, and I have next to zero left in the tank. I’ve always had a hard time with stupidity. Ignorance is hard to find faultContinue reading “Patience, My Ass!”

Asking for Help

I can’t explain why, but it is the very hardest thing for me to do. Now, with only one leg and the possibility of further surgeries on the horizon, I don’t have a lot of choice in the matter. I just can’t do what I used to do. Not alone. The very first thing thatContinue reading “Asking for Help”

George Strait……The Man

I listened to George Strait back in the eighties and nineties and sang along to his cassettes and later, discs, and his music is still timeless country. In this age of AI and Autotune, meant to deceive the audience (enhance the music?), George used a guitar and microphone. No explosions. No laser light show. NoContinue reading “George Strait……The Man”

Check This Out

Some nut job in where else, Oklahoma, ate a last meal which he did not deserve. That’s the story. Not that he admitted remorse for his unforgivable crime of placing a three year-old boy who had just wet the bed, on a scorching furnace, and then raising him high in the air and slamming himContinue reading “Check This Out”

Why I Do It

I get asked why I play these little charity gigs for Nursing Homes and Rehab Centers and now, I have opened up communication with Dayton Children’s Hospital to see if I can please a few kids this Christmas. All you have to do is walk into SycamoreSpring Nursing Home. The first thing you notice isContinue reading “Why I Do It”

Selling Life

By now, the secret’s out. T-cells. It appears to be the single greatest medical discovery in decades, and I just saw the story that made its way to Sunday Morning on CBS. What really stood out to me in the story was the parents’ fierce determination to try anything and everything possible to save theirContinue reading “Selling Life”
