Mass killing. Guns. Knives. Bombs. Virus. Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes? There are forty-three less hikers in Colorado alone this year that would LOVE to beg to differ, but they can’t. They’re dead. Done in by mosquitoes. In 1966, under the summer lights of our Little League baseball games, I would stand in center field where the brightestContinue reading “Of All the Ways…”

Stick to What You Know
The Wall Street Journal, that venerable financial tool, is reporting that the Israeli military is having to enter densely-populated urban areas in their war effort. Genius. I am sure if the Hamas murderers were out in the desert somewhere, the headline would change. What a bunch of pencil-necked numbers crunchers. You won’t see any ofContinue reading “Stick to What You Know”
Down, But Not Out
I wasn’t feeling bad at all, having played an hour-long set at a new bar that wants to attract new patrons. My dinner consisted of a 4 oz piece of T-bone steak and exactly 10 Tater Tots (yes I counted them). I was sick as a dog on Friday night and I thought I wasContinue reading “Down, But Not Out”
Innocence Lost
When I was a young man, I carried the mindset of a wide-eyed child, marveling at everything this amazing world has to offer. I was always treated well no matter which country I was in, so I thought nice, welcoming people were the norm. Right. Three thieves break into a house. One injured and arrested.Continue reading “Innocence Lost”
Never in a Million Years
Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. There are only two genders. Everything else is a contrivance. There are many derivatives, identifications, and permutations, but there is male and female. Eso es. But that being said, everything else that spills out of her diseased mind is horseshit. So United Airlines is seating window-seat passengers and it hasContinue reading “Never in a Million Years”
It’s Better to Burn Out…
Sing it Neil. I’m approaching having spent seven full decades of time on this planet, so it seems like every couple of years one of my life influences/heroes are leaving this sphere of existence. It used to be every decade or so, but lately that time gap is shortening. The more things change… Another MiddleContinue reading “It’s Better to Burn Out…”
Who Cares?
As I approach the last fifteen years of my life, I can not only see my own ticket being punched, but I will leave with a hope for the future of all species. I remember being so caught up in idealism and truth that it led me to pursue pre-law in my first college experience.Continue reading “Who Cares?”
Just Once
I want to see stupid tourists endure instant karma and ignore the barriers, jump the fences and hop onto a rock formation that cracks and sends them to a crushing death below. But that’s just me. Is it me, or did it take about fifty less elections to get rid of that lame-ass KMac? IContinue reading “Just Once”
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?”
A Teaser
In my taking-me-forever first novel If Only…I share my view of our nation with women the dominant gender in the world. And so for my wife, the Domestic Despot who thinks I’m just sitting here at my desk getting stoned all day, here is what I have so far: The Red Manse 0600 hrs. Continue reading “A Teaser”
