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”
Riding it Out
The doctor has me in the wait-and-see mode on my leg, and unless it improves, I still think an above-the-knee surgery is imminent. So I’m riding it out. But I will NOT ride it out if it becomes necessary to further cut my leg and they want me to stay longer post-surgery and give meContinue reading “Riding it Out”
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”
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
After seventy years on this planet, I’m pretty much settled in as a worse-case scenario guy. I want the bad news first. Every four or eight years we resume this “Kill the piggie!” dance, aka our presidential election. What once was a civil transfer of power from one regime pledging to improve our country toContinue reading “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?”
Moving Forward
I made time to block out more of my novel, If Only, and in order to do a serviceable job on the subject of a world where females are the dominant gender, I have to start by breaking down the differences between us. Firstly, I had to address the very issue of gender identification. HowContinue reading “Moving Forward”
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….”
