Not just a classic fun adventure movie, but our national holiday commemorating all the things this country once did and believed in, oh yeah, and an extra day off from work. I grew up part of my life on military bases, so patriotism was effortless exercise and especially when you are stationed overseas because thereContinue reading “Independence Day”

Just Another Brick…
It’s not like there isn’t plenty to keep us occupied; no, the Supreme Court of the United States of America is now taking aim at Affirmative Action, as in eliminating it. I am neither Democrat or Republican, I prefer to think of myself as a member of the Free-Thinkers Party. Since I am sure IContinue reading “Just Another Brick…”
The Red Manse
—As promised, another excerpt from my book If Only… 0600 hrs. Cassandra Prince was a nervous wreck on her first day on the job. The new Indira Gandhi University whiz-kid that landed the lucrative position as law clerk for Justice Jodi Foster, had the weight of a whole lot of people on her back.Continue reading “The Red Manse”
New Language
Let’s face it. As we (are supposed to) evolve, our lexicon changes, our perspective changes, and it’s happening all around us. I hear new terms and before I can react, I have to look up what it is I am reacting to. It took me years evidently, to realize that Karen was a pejorative termContinue reading “New Language”
And the Beat Goes On…
Sonny and Cher walkin’ the talk. Kansas is making it pretty clear what their thoughts are on the whole LGBTQ alphabet thingy. Not the place to go for many people. South Carolina just became the only State Supreme Court in the United States with all-male judges. So what do they do? They revisit the abortionContinue reading “And the Beat Goes On…”
You Don’t Say!
A year ago you couldn’t avoid stories about BabyHead Putin’s fuck-up of an “invasion.” They were everywhere. But the big news ended up being the resolve of the Ukrainian people and their allies as they proudly defended their country. So I am thinking that they faced that bald little bastard Putin’s best shot and handledContinue reading “You Don’t Say!”
No Excuses! Again
I’ve been lolly-gagging and dilly-dallying now for two years since I said I would write my second book, my first novel. I have titled it If Only…, and if you were following my blog way back then, here’s what I said: About the Book If Only… represents my first full-length novel. The bookContinue reading “No Excuses! Again”

Speeding
I drive too fast. And they got me. I was on my way home from a drummer audition and I was going about 85 on the Interstate when the lights came on and I had to cross two lanes to get to the shoulder of the road. Busted. No excuses, no emergency to get to,Continue reading “Speeding”
Incredible
People are still killing people because they can’t stop drinking and getting behind a wheel. It’s like cigarette smoke. If it only stayed within the body of the smoker and didn’t stink up someone else’s personal space, there would be no problem. Or if the offending smoker didn’t act like the bovine creature they areContinue reading “Incredible”
