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…”

Alright ‘Fess Up!
Whose is it? Who left their blow on the tabletop in the White House? I know you can eliminate me from the list of potential suspects. I will and have lost my glasses, my driver’s licese, my passport, my car keys, my house keys, my wallet, you name it, I’ve lost it. I even lostContinue reading “Alright ‘Fess Up!”
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…”
Bullies
I never liked them and still don’t. I learned my lesson early; or you think I would have learned my lesson when I was four years old. Mom had taken my brother, sister and I to a park in East Los Angeles. My memory has been aided by other accounts, and here is evidently howContinue reading “Bullies”
Who is to Blame?
Give people the slightest semblance of a reason and they will gleefully seek out and even more gleefully assign blame whenever they can. Where does the “blame chain” end? Good luck trying to tag any politician; unless you lie for a living, too, you are already behind the curve. The economy? Oh, this president isContinue reading “Who is to Blame?”
Raise Your Hand
-If you are sick and tired of kids attacking those charged with trying to make those imbeciles smarter. I say why bother? 17 years on this planet or even one-year in a tough high school qualifies you to be tried as an adult. I don’t want to hear the bleeding hearts talk about a childContinue reading “Raise Your Hand”
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”
Just to be Clear
Enough with wild animals eating children. This time, an alligator was the guilty party. Once again, I am horrified and piteous of the parents of the eight-year old boy. To see the creature float lazily away downriver with the lifeless (God, tell me he was lifeless) body of their son is the stuff of lifelongContinue reading “Just to be Clear”
Life Goes On
Or does it? I’m thumbing through the digital news and nowhere near the headlines, tucked under a “New and Used Cars” advertisement way down the page, was a story that matter-of-factly reported that Ukraine is bracing for a nuclear attack. WTF? Am I the only person on the planet that sees this as a preludeContinue reading “Life Goes On”
School Safety
Talk about a contradiction of terms. Safety measures have come a long way in schools, but when you look closely, not very far at all. You had a school bully who kept the rest of the students in line. There were hall monitors, composed of teachers with bad attitudes because they would much rather beContinue reading “School Safety”
