A 73 year-old Australian man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and it was discovered he was still under a suspension that would ban him from driving again for another 92 years. He can drive again when he is 165 years-old. I lost my license briefly after one of the many bouts IContinue reading “Enjoy the Ride”

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”
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”
Thank You
Now that I’m a 1000+ blog poster, I wanted to take a minute to offer thanks to some of the key people who have each helped, in their own way, to make this one glorious ride so far. I want to thank Linda, an 8th grader (I was in seventh grade) for telling me IContinue reading “Thank You”
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!”
Our Skill Set
We each have one that is just as unique to us as our fingerprints. We learn them, we inherit them, and we assimilate them our entire lives. Then our role is over and a new cast goes through the motions of mouthing the words and playing the parts as the show must go on. IContinue reading “Our Skill Set”
I Know it Sounds Corny…
And I’m sure it would be found abhorrent to one of todays’ tech-savvy kids, but I remember in Bossier City, Louisiana in the mid-sixties, I was attending an elementary school. On the school bus home after classes ended, the entire bus would sing songs! I remember “Red Roses for a Blue Lady, Birds and theContinue reading “I Know it Sounds Corny…”
What’s Next?
Artificial Intelligence. Although if you queried the Domestic Despot, she would offer that she has been living with artificial intelligence since we moved in together into a tiny studio apartment in the foothills of Santa Barbara in 1986. What I want to know is why, all of a sudden, are we inundated with idiot politiciansContinue reading “What’s Next?”
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”
Gone But Not Forgotten…
I hope you didn’t forget me, but I have been swamped putting together and pulling off a charity benefit adoption event and concert for the local Humane Society. It was not a piece of cake. Unforseen circumstances, as in a death in the family and the absolute worst thing a committed performer can do: no-call,Continue reading “Gone But Not Forgotten…”
