But it’s freezing in your heart. To quote a great songwriter (me). We got about eight inches of snow in the last 24 hours and its still coming down at noon EST. My two doggies, Arizona weather-weenies, are none too pleased. So, I’m checking out the news which I have not visited in some timeContinue reading “Baby its Cold Outside…”

What a World!
Juan Soto, the highly-coveted free agent outfielder from last season’s New York Yankees, has just signed a 760 million dollar contract to play baseball for the New York Mets until the year 2040. Just in case, he also received 75 million just for signing the contract. Are we paying our educators, the individuals responsible forContinue reading “What a World!”
It’s Getting Close
Pretty soon, bye-bye political ads. At the least the half-truths and downright lies being espoused by both parties’ candidates. Then we can go about putting our fingers in our ears and sing “la!la!la!” as we listen to their half-truths and downright lies when they take office and ask us to believe them one more time.Continue reading “It’s Getting Close”
Options
LIfe is all about options. The choices we make, the reasons we come up with to justify our actions, and the consequences we ultimately must pay for them. There is a balance to the universe and it is even more simplistic than the concept of yin and yang and the balance it perpetuates. Right andContinue reading “Options”
Who Do You Trust?
How big is your “circle of trust”? There is the obvious starting block—the family. Most families (I want to believe) trust each other, and God-forbid-if-it-ever-became necessary, would sacrifice their own lives for each other. My family was like that at one time. That circle, almost universally, included the police force. Mass shootings, inept practices, andContinue reading “Who Do You Trust?”
Random Thoughts on a Thursday
I spend much of my day at my computer looking out my window. Every day, around 2 or 3pm, the little kids from school in the neighborhood start whooping it up outside, you know, playing. Now I’m not the grumpy guy who yells at the kids; not at all. I’m actually quite the opposite. OneContinue reading “Random Thoughts on a Thursday”
Pass the Salt
This crow is a little bland. Just when I throw in the towel for democracy in general and the Democratic party in particular, one hundred million dollars is raised in 48 hours for the presumptive presidential nominee Kamala Harris. This money is coming from five, ten, and twenty dollar donations from citizens across this greatContinue reading “Pass the Salt”
I Don’t Care…
about our dying democracy; I care for future generations. I don’t give a damn about our crumbling bicameral system; it’s not working. And don’t get me started about the self-centered dumbasses that populate our judicial branch. If you think it’s bad now…… I have maybe a decade left (if I’m lucky), so their favorite dictatorContinue reading “I Don’t Care…”
999 and counting….
I never thought I would EVER be one of those… You know, people who post online blogs. This is the 999th post I have had published on this blog site and I am having just as much fun doing it now as when I started three years ago. My science of writing is a simplisticContinue reading “999 and counting….”
Back and Motivated!
This will be my first post in over a week, so I will cover a lot of ground. A last-minute call from a fellow musician landed me an 8-11 gig last night at a local brewery. I quickly threw a playlist together of about seventy-five songs from all genres and showed up. It was aContinue reading “Back and Motivated!”
