A few years back, I can’t recall exactly who, but one of the major golf companies had an ad campaign featuring the great Annika Sorenstam (or it could have been Michelle Wie), both amazing athletes, and the gist of the commercials was the concept in sports “play like a girl.” Now, when I was growingContinue reading “Play Like a Girl”

Speak Up!
Keeping with the schedule, I am reciting another excerpt today from my first book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! and I invite you to examine yet another twisted side of my psyche. I did the first two stories under the letter “A” so today, under the letter “B” I have included the single, (but powerfulContinue reading “Speak Up!”
Mea Culpa
I apologize. I didn’t even have to receive a thump upside my noggin by Karen. In my post this past Sunday on musicals, I referenced a “gay gene” contributing for my love of the theater. You would think in this day and age (that is an OLD person’s saying) that a learned individual (guilty asContinue reading “Mea Culpa”
No More Tomorrows
The title of this weeks’ original song was actually a collaboration between my brother Ed and I. Ed had the melody bouncing around his gourd and had started on the lyrics. I basically finished the melody and added a chorus. We finished the lyrics together over a bottle of Stolichnaya and some Marin County Greenbud.Continue reading “No More Tomorrows”
Musicals
I must have a gay gene in me somewhere. I love musicals and I love Barbra Streisand, so that probably seals it. I appreciate all the work involved in producing entertainment and coordinating the talents and resources of others who are just as enthralled with the whole process as everyone else involved with the theater.Continue reading “Musicals”
Baby Steps
I took my first steps without the aid of a walker or cane today. It is the first time I have been able to perambulate in 16 months. One more time God: Thank you. The doctor spent most of my appointment time explaining the details and machinations of my new prosthetic leg, one that allowsContinue reading “Baby Steps”
I Died Twice
No joke. In a previous writing I detail my birthday accident where I was struck and thrown in the air by a truck whose driver did not see me sprinting after one of my party guests who had taken my hat. I had to be resuscitated by the EMT’s, but I was briefly gone. IContinue reading “I Died Twice”
What the World Needs Now
I know, I know; I’m supposed to say Love Sweet Love, and that is something we always need, but I don’t think it is what the world needs right now. In the words of badass rocker Bob Seger Turn the Page. I was taught by my parents to accept losses gracefully; to acknowledge that youContinue reading “What the World Needs Now”
As Promised….
Here is my audio version of the short-story Little Things from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Let me know what you think…
Payback
Karma, comeuppance, or whatever you want to call it, payback is the dominion of the slighted and wronged. If you are NOT slighted or wronged, any misperceived justice you dispense will just make you the asshole doing the wrong. The following is a true story based on THE MOST EMBARASSING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TOContinue reading “Payback”
