We each have one that is just as unique to us as our fingerprints. We learn them, we inherit them, and we assimilate them our entire lives. Then our role is over and a new cast goes through the motions of mouthing the words and playing the parts as the show must go on. IContinue reading “Our Skill Set”

Thumb Tripping
Hitchhiking. You just don’t see it anymore. It used to be a means of transporting one’s self to points unknown with a complete stranger. I know, not because I ever had to hitch a ride to go somewhere, but because I was the guy who would stop and pick up whoever had their thumbs out.Continue reading “Thumb Tripping”
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”
Learn Something New Everyday
That is what we all do, until we expire. At least some people do. Some people never learn. Tourons. Tourist morons. A word which greatly reduces the length of my personal description of these fools, which is stupid-dumbass-losers-from-loser-parents-and loser-grandparents-and-whom-I-hope-suffer-a-slow-humiliating-and-excruciating-death. But that’s just me. The US has asked the Israelis not to respond with rage asContinue reading “Learn Something New Everyday”
Either Or
Either through a cloudy drug haze, revenge, or infatuation, I was able to experience the trappings of the lifestyle of the mega-wealthy in my youth. Of course none of this happened because the Domestic Despot will tell you, without blinking, that there was no one else before she appeared in my life. So in theContinue reading “Either Or”
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?”
Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place
I had an absolute blast performing for the residents of Liberty Place Memory Care in West Chester. The first thing you notice about the place is its location, at the end of a drive through a very upper-income housing area. Usually, the paces I have played are not in this type of neighborhood. The propertyContinue reading “Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place”
Don’t Get Me Started
Anyone who abandons their pets has forfeited their eternal soul to a fiery hell. And if I had any say in it, that would just be for starters. I understand that life can make it painfully necessary for some to have to surrender their furry friends, but surrender does not mean you open your carContinue reading “Don’t Get Me Started”
Better Late?
If you call me up and don’t start speaking within the first five seconds, my ass is gonna hang up on your ass and I will block your number for all-time. Pet peeve? Probably more like a foible. Although I am actually avoiding the Old Man Syndrome where everything irritates you, and that is probablyContinue reading “Better Late?”
