We have spent all those millions of dollars constructing the wall on our southern border and now, it seems, there is no need for further construction. The answer was under our noses the entire time. Just make this country even more unlivable, miserable and dangerous for immigrants than it is in their own country andContinue reading “Just Another Brick in the Wall”

When Push Comes to Shove
Now that I am a retiree I look at the statistics for people filing in the United States for unemployment benefits is somewhere around 200,000 to 250,000 per week. Is it me, or does that number seem high to you? I know, huh? And political analysts refer to it as a “sturdy” labor market. GoingContinue reading “When Push Comes to Shove”
Teamwork
Our man DJT has turned his attention to one of the world’s greatest problems and a real threat to global annihilation. He has signed a bill to ban male athletes that are genetically altered from participating in girls and women’s sports. This is a subject I dare not broach with my wife, the Domestic Despot,Continue reading “Teamwork”
Red Flags
Your wife is always “too tired” and is totally fine with you going without her. Red flag. Last-minute and pop-up plans are met with a smile and a wistful, “oh well.” Red flag. You decide to drive to a club to go out drinking with your buddies. Red flag. There are too many options thatContinue reading “Red Flags”
Standards
They should be just what they sound like; set, immovable, intractable and not to be trifled with and avoiding, at all costs, the possibility of lowering your standards. I used to joke to my golf buddies that as much mistrust I have of the medical profession (business), I would still rather have a doctor doContinue reading “Standards”
Stealing
There are all sorts of crimes and taking something that is not yours is the absolute lowest. I have more respect for a murderer than a thief. Now before you get all puffed up and froggy, I recognize the difference between ill-gotten gain and a necessity to survive for those desperate enough to try andContinue reading “Stealing”
The One That Got Away
We all have one. That one special person, maybe even your very first crush that turned into a boyfriend-girlfriend situation. But then something happened. Life. You moved, they moved, whatever. As a military dependent living with a very ambitious Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, we travelled a lot. It was our lastContinue reading “The One That Got Away”
Magic
I am amazed at magicians and their antics, I admit. I will also add that doing drugs while watching magic enhances the experience (if ever there was a redundant statement). Do you remember Doug Henning, the cool young magician dude from the eighties? How about David Copperfield? I once “accidentally” took a double dose ofContinue reading “Magic”
Self-Discipline
There was a time early in my life that I exercised no self-discipline whatsoever. I mean, really. Many of the short stories and situations I got myself into in late 70’s-early 80’s Las Vegas are included in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I had it all figured out: I was actually making moneyContinue reading “Self-Discipline”
Comeback Player of the Year
The pity party is over. I’m back for good this time. I got so down with being first hospitalized, and then confined to home nursing care and IV antibiotics for the last few months that I started getting the worst thoughts going through my head. Things like is this how it ends for me? SomeContinue reading “Comeback Player of the Year”
