When I first started out in the restaurant business, my big brother told me he would make me his Assistant Manager in his Sambo’s restaurant after learning how to do everything. And I do mean everything. From the parking lot, trash dumpsters, dishwashing, mopping, I mean I did not get one break from Ed. IContinue reading “Not in My Contract”

Look Up
That is the unstoppable direction that the interest rates from the Bank of England are taking. They just raised their rate for the second time in three months. The country may appear unstable with all the seemingly knee-jerk rate hikes, but let’s call this what it is. The UK is taking the lead in theContinue reading “Look Up”
Where is the Good News?
Kiss my ass Jeff Bezos. Let’s start with that. He already owns everything, and with a current net worth north of 175 billion dollars, could buy it if he wanted. His playground is not just confined to our globe. The majesty of a sunset over a mountain lake isn’t enough for him. A sunrise overContinue reading “Where is the Good News?”
Bathing in a Different Country
Yesterday we looked at a quandary and today I will finish it up with the short-short story I wrote about the communal bathhouse in a tiny village in Japan. Querulous implies complaining, something I do, but mostly in private. My problem is that I’ve never given a shit about anything, so if I don’tContinue reading “Bathing in a Different Country”
Q is for Quandary
Which is where I am on several issues. Like watching the Middle East meltdown and laughing as that rascally rascal Putin keeps on pulling Jo-Jo’s strings while China outright threatens what will amount to Global Thermonuclear War. Sound familiar? It is the game that Matthew Broderick played against the WOPR computer in War Games. ExceptContinue reading “Q is for Quandary”
Paying the Bills
Many people struggling. Yet another reason for our political parties to come together as a unit and quit fighting like two thirteen-year old girls. Next thing you know, we’ll be doing each other’s hair and freezing each other’s bras while we smoke ciggies and talk about hunks. Not bloody likely. Man, I thought O.J. SimpsonContinue reading “Paying the Bills”
Out With the Old
Everything has a useful life. Products. People. Animals. We just witnessed a microcosm with the recent NFL playoff games. The Old Guard were represented by the sports’ standard bearer Tom Brady and the best quarterback not named Tom Brady, the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers. The Young Guns were represented by their standard bearer PatrickContinue reading “Out With the Old”
That’s One Way to Look at It
Our boy Putin is warning that the US is planning “interventions” in the Ukraine and this could possibly lead to “heightened aggression” in the area. Oh really dumbass? Ya think? And how convenient of you to cover your ass by firing the first salvo at Jo-Jo’s backside. Actually, the correct political move to make, andContinue reading “That’s One Way to Look at It”
We’re All Going to Die
Brilliant. Almost profound. These pearls are courtesy of a 31% Sativa strain called Ninety-Two Cookies. Money. I was going out to watch my brother-in-law, ADOGG, and his band of brothers and cousins, collectively and musically known as Kin. I think it is a badass name and much better than the initially offered “Kinfolk.” See whatContinue reading “We’re All Going to Die”
Afterthoughts
I think I have made it abundantly clear where I stand on politics. I don’t. I don’t give a damn about anything so fervently that it dictates my course of action, unless you count protecting your family. When I unavoidably see a few stories, they seem to be focused on what a shitty job Jo-JoContinue reading “Afterthoughts”
