The story started by saying (in 1874 mind you) a man was convicted for eating his five companions to get through a brutal snowstorm. Come on. Just how long did this snowstorm last? And five? What the hell were the five doing? Waiting around to end up being dinner? Didn’t the others start to wonder?Continue reading “Wouldn’t Ya Know?”

Differences
She has trouble boiling water. I am a starred French Chef She couldn’t tell a lie if she tried. I can. I also know that if my life ever came down to hanging in the balance dependent on Karen lying for me, adios muchachos! Black hair. Blonde hair. Dark brown skin. Pale white shin. AbsolutelyContinue reading “Differences”
Wingman
Everybody needs one. Maverick had Iceman and my high school wingman (at least in ninth grade anyway) was a girl actually, named Molly Fletcher. We both lived in government housing on the US Air Force base Upper Heyford about seventy miles from London. Her father worked as some sort of “defense consultant” and my stepfatherContinue reading “Wingman”
Spanking Your Children
I know, I know. A lot of people bow up and get all froggy when they hear the “s” word, but truth be told (which I will do on occasion), there are some kids that could use a little extra somethin’-somethin’ when it comes to their discipline routine. And everyone knows who they are. GoContinue reading “Spanking Your Children”
Marijuana
I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”
Going Under Again?
Man, I really hope not. I have been off of my feet completely for about eight weeks now and I go to pick up my prosthetic, supposedly newer, better, molded to my exact measurements, blah blah blah, and I am up on the leg two minutes and that old familiar sting (Hurt); there is fluidContinue reading “Going Under Again?”
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”
Back in the Saddle
Sort of. I went from enjoying the beautiful southern Ohio summer to tubes, injections and a five-day hospital stay that seemed much longer. I am currently on home care with a nurse and IV antibiotics which I must administer daily. It is a colossal pain-in-the-ass but the alternative will necessitate the use of the surgicalContinue reading “Back in the Saddle”
Over the Top
Don’t get me started about people who do not tip employees who perform a service for them. Now, if you just stopped there, we would just look at you, roll our eyes, and think what a cheap asshole. But no. It’s when you try and justify your moral ascendancy, in the rarified air ABOVE mortalContinue reading “Over the Top”
Love/Hate
I used to love it when the first SweetTart out of the roll was a cherry one. I hated moving from country to country as an Air Force family, but I really loved meeting and exchanging with new peoples and cultures. I love dogs, but hated it when I had to undergo a very painfulContinue reading “Love/Hate”
