Finally! My beloved Manchester United Red Devil football club has given manager Erik Ten Hag his walking papers after guiding the team down as low as we have ever been in the Premier League. I never cared for the man, I admit, but he never really did anything during his tenure that changed my opinionContinue reading “Changes”

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?”
There Can Be Only One
The Little League baseball World Series is being completed today so why is there two “World Series” championships being played? There is the World Series International Championship and then there is the United States “World Series” championship. One world. One world champion. At least take the words “world series” off the banner for the USContinue reading “There Can Be Only One”
Know When to Say When
No one can ever put a dent in my loyalty to the Manchester United Red Devils, but who, if anyone, will be the one to say, “enough is enough.?” I have watched the team play two matches and they looked like crap in both contests. I have never been a fan of manager Erik TenContinue reading “Know When to Say When”
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”
Shake Things Up!
Life is so fun because it is what you make of it. If you want to spend your life adhering to the norm and fashioning out your own routine within that framework, more power to you. I like to shake things up from time to time, especially with my perfect foil, the Domestic Despot. ForContinue reading “Shake Things Up!”
Just the Facts
I mean there are two commentators at a basketball game. TWO. One of them goes on a nasty racist rage and the other one did not. When reporting this story, a newspaper mixed them up and reported the wrong reporter’s name as the guilty party. Boom. Twenty-five million. As much as I would hate toContinue reading “Just the Facts”
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!”
It’s Better to Burn Out…
Sing it Neil. I’m approaching having spent seven full decades of time on this planet, so it seems like every couple of years one of my life influences/heroes are leaving this sphere of existence. It used to be every decade or so, but lately that time gap is shortening. The more things change… Another MiddleContinue reading “It’s Better to Burn Out…”
Bewitched
It is the only explanation I have for it. It was a cool morning in the San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff and south of the Grand Canyon, and I was headed to the white Aspen trees where I planned to camp for a few days and eat some pharmaceutical LSD. My unpaid assistant, theContinue reading “Bewitched”
