I’ll get this rant out of the way now, because, quite frankly, this is like going up against Iron Mike Tyson in his prime, like no way you win. As a business model, the oligarchy of pharmaceutical companies projects to well over 500 billion dollars a year, and with the global pandemic, that number isContinue reading “No win situation”

Swimsuits
I did it again. I got stoned and posted the wrong blog yesterday with a song that I play, so here is another one from The New Riders. You are wearing your original swimsuit as you are reading this blog. That’s right. No suit. Au natural. Your first opportunity to swim is sometimes by necessity,Continue reading “Swimsuits”
Happy Holidays
Today marks two special holidays: Karen’s birthday and 4/20. 4/20 you ask? The “official” day of celebration of the counter-culture. Oooooh. Sounds spooky. Counter culture. Since I am able to smoke pot all day and night if I so desire, it is no big whup for me to have a smoke session on a Tuesday.Continue reading “Happy Holidays”
Humility
I am sure I could use much more of it than I have. For some reason, and I cannot tell you when or where I got it, but I have always felt a sense of superiority. I’m OK, but not great-looking, despite the fact I did win 2nd place in the Cutest Boy contest atContinue reading “Humility”
Masks
We all wear masks; it just depends on what kind of mask. To fight this pandemic, we all need to be wearing protective masks until the virus is contained and eliminated. But what about the mask under the mask? I’m talking about the fake smile mask worn by disingenuous people. The wan smile frozen onContinue reading “Masks”
Royalty
Dukes, Duchesses, even Viscounts (whatever those are) all qualify as royalty. Lebron James doesn’t. The concepts we are taught when we are growing up like Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, and Knights, Lords, and Ladies, are all tres romantique, no? Crowns, castles, swords, man those looked like some pretty trippy times with a lotContinue reading “Royalty”
Keeping Warm
When I first started posting my blog, I made a few mistakes. This was posted originally (mistakenly) on 2/28: I’m hot. No brag. Just fact. I’m one of those people who others want to cuddle up to in bed because I am better than an electric blanket. I am also one of the people thatContinue reading “Keeping Warm”
Junk Mail
Stop sending it to me. There, that should do it. Now that we are retired, that’s all we get. Now, Karen and I have been more than generous with our money when it comes to donations and charity. We have been active in several animal organizations and United Way. We also have charities we donateContinue reading “Junk Mail”
The End
The end is not near, it’s already here. We all have thoughts on how the world may end someday. Disease, war, pick your poison. There are so many movies depicting different ways the planet will be destroyed, and it seems like as many movies as there are, so are the different demises depicted. Flood, hurricanes,Continue reading “The End”
Mea Culpa
I apologize. I didn’t even have to receive a thump upside my noggin by Karen. In my post this past Sunday on musicals, I referenced a “gay gene” contributing for my love of the theater. You would think in this day and age (that is an OLD person’s saying) that a learned individual (guilty asContinue reading “Mea Culpa”
