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 Only My Opinion, But…
I think if you are going to have tattoos, you need to have gig guns like the Rock, not those little white skinny punk rock junkie arms. I very much understand people and their insane need for validation, but some clothes are not meant for certain body types. I believe I put that as diplomaticContinue reading “It’s Only My Opinion, But…”
When You Know, You Know
That will only make sense to all my fellow hopeless romantics who check out this blog. My very first glance was all it took. I had grown up hearing the old “love at first sight” explanation to the unique chemistry that is love, but really had no frame of reference. I didn’t really fully believeContinue reading “When You Know, You Know”
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”
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”
