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”
The Way I See It
I saw a story about the things you need to be doing to improve your short and long term memory and I guess my own personal recipe differs somewhat. The first thing they offer is chunking, or basically attaching significance to small groups of information to use as building blocks. The first thing I offerContinue reading “The Way I See It”
Once Again I Was Right
Too much, too soon. America, in it’s zeal to stand up on a soap box, beat its chest, and proclaim: “We are inclusive, open-minded, and the United States of America embraces everyone and everything under the sun,” blah, blah, blah… Really? With identity such a hot topic, I hear hate speech every day it seems.Continue reading “Once Again I Was Right”
OOPS!
Mr. I-am-sending-a rocket-into-space-just-because-I-can Elon Musk once again looked like a horse’s ass when his much-ballyhooed marvel of technology blew up minutes after being launched out into the mist. His Starship, er, Sinkship is being fished out of the Atlantic Ocean. People are wondering “why isn’t NASA doing these space forays? Why is a private companyContinue reading “OOPS!”
