A year ago you couldn’t avoid stories about BabyHead Putin’s fuck-up of an “invasion.” They were everywhere. But the big news ended up being the resolve of the Ukrainian people and their allies as they proudly defended their country. So I am thinking that they faced that bald little bastard Putin’s best shot and handledContinue reading “You Don’t Say!”

Where Did My Appetite Go?
There is irrefutable evidence that I had one; I didn’t get up to 275 pounds at one point by going on the Gandhi diet. No, I earned my stripes honestly. Consider a typical working day of a French Chef (me): 4am Wake up (or stay awake from night before). Do several wake-me-up lines of cocaineContinue reading “Where Did My Appetite Go?”
Solving Problems
Ron DeSantis finally said something I agree with. It has taken years, but I am on record, on this very blog, saying I do not believe the new gender identity issue is an arena that needs to be injected into the competitive sports world. Horses don’t let motorcycles be loaded into the paddocks to raceContinue reading “Solving Problems”
Who’s to Blame?
Everyone does it. Not many people are evolved enough to go through life without blaming someone or something. For the most part, I am good with my spot on the totem pole of athletes. Nowhere near the top, but also no way near the bottom, either. When you combine a fierce resolve to win withContinue reading “Who’s to Blame?”
Big Things
I was expecting big things from a girl I met at a rodeo, of all places. Evidently it was a big deal with the professional cowboys and bronc-busters, and I am sure I looked ridiculous with my Stetson hat and jeans and tennis shoes. Not exactly standard rodeo garb, but let me tell you theContinue reading “Big Things”
I Was a Stripper
True story. After I left school and travelled all over this beautiful country of ours, I met up with a scotch-soaked bar room queen in Tulsa. Not exactly a Rolling Stones song, but oh, so close. Shady was her name, but her given name was Shadelle La Fontaine Pemberton. She wasContinue reading “I Was a Stripper”
Close Calls
From the day I was introduced to the game of chess by my stepfather, I was already past child prodigy age, I think around 1965, it took me seven years to tip the final piece in victory. Of course, I can’t remember anything else, but I remember that day. It was December 23, 1972, andContinue reading “Close Calls”
Yet Another Sign
That we are losing it. Netherlands is proposing a ban on smoking weed outside in the red light district That’s like trying to ban drinking at Mardi Gras. It was never legally allowed outside in the past, but now it is a big deal. Illegal prostitution was never a problem in Der Wallen, as theContinue reading “Yet Another Sign”
I Know I Shouldn’t
I know better. But I can’t stop a smile from taking over my face when I hear of an armed criminal being terminated by an honest citizen who lawfully stopped anyone else (aka non-criminals) from being harmed at the gas station and should get a raise as far as I am concerned.. The world isContinue reading “I Know I Shouldn’t”
Finally!
How many years and how many lives later, a dog owner is being held accountable for a murder his unrestrained dog committed on a little girl. Dogs are not natural killers; they are taught that and I hope the owner has to suffer some horrible consequences, commensurate with the pain inflicted by his dog. IContinue reading “Finally!”
