Our first rival usually shows up as soon as we are old enough to socialize with other kids. Almost always, you can bet that a girl is involved. As we grow older and ascend the educational hierarchy, we form rivals in just about everything: there’s the quiet boy in Chemistry that has a 97 average,Continue reading “Rivals”

Equality
You asked for it, you got it. Amber McLaughlin. In an episode right out of Criminal Minds, a funeral home owner was making a tidy profit by dismembering corpses and selling off their body parts. In another episode right out of Criminal Minds, a woman is killed when a rogue wave hit a cruise ship.Continue reading “Equality”
Careful What You Ask For
All I have heard now for months on end, as if it is some sort of magic cure for everything, is wait until the Republicans win the House, then you’ll see… See what? You can’t even decide on who the next Speaker of the House will be. I gotta be honest with you. Unless thereContinue reading “Careful What You Ask For”
I Hate to Say It, but…
Did I not say it was going to be a rough go of it travelling this holiday season? I actually feel bad for being so right. All you see on the news is the pariah they are making out of Southwest Airlines for their volatile cancellation fiasco that saw 90% of ALL US flight cancellationsContinue reading “I Hate to Say It, but…”
Merry Christmas
I know; it was yesterday, but I was too busy having fun and enjoying our holiday Turkey Dinner with just the two of us, the Diaz Brothers, and a twenty-six pound turkey. The snow is about a foot deep everywhere, and it doesn’t look like there is any 2022 city budget money left to roustContinue reading “Merry Christmas”
Close Call
So I decide to brave the traffic and the impending Winter Storm of the Century if you believe the forecasters, and headed north on I-75 to the humane society which I represent, and on the way, I spied a new building sitting out on its own. I could see kennels and a large play areaContinue reading “Close Call”
Better Late Than Never
I used to love to watch the show Cold Case and enjoyed watching them reopen past cases that had gone “cold” for a variety of reasons which prevented justice from being carried out. The lead girl was a little pasty-looking and anemic, but she was watchable. Fuck the statute of limitations. Crime is crime andContinue reading “Better Late Than Never”
I Like Life
I took a day off today and did absolutely nothing except check out the nursing home where my last scheduled show is on Wednesday. Traffic is thick everywhere. That goofy Marjorie Taylor Greene is declaring war on Walmart for selling sex toys. Like she doesn’t have a secret drawer full of crazy sexual shit somewhere.Continue reading “I Like Life”
Now Let Me Get This Straight…
A couple, whose adopted daughter died mysteriously either before Halloween if you believe the father, or as late as Sept. 10th if you believe the mother, neither of which is believable and both of which are out of their fucking minds, kept their dead little girl in a U-Haul trailer and crossed state lines withContinue reading “Now Let Me Get This Straight…”
Substitutions
In my life I substituted lies for truth. I replaced long-term meaningful relationships with loyal, loving women with meaningless one-night stands with faceless strangers. I replaced trust and safety with irresponsibility and total lack of reason. But I always knew better. And that, I believe, frustrated my parents most of all. There’s a line inContinue reading “Substitutions”
