Equipment failure. Passenger issues. Pilot error. Kind of makes me glad I don’t fly anywhere anymore. Way too much drama, and before you ask, the answer is “hell no!” if you want me to give up my 1st class seat. For ANY reason, unless you happen to be holding a gun on me. A newContinue reading “Come and Get It”

I Don’t Get It
Eighteen years old and getting ready to attend high school prom. No prom. Shot in the back. Dead. The kids who were with him said that they were just “playing a prank” in an attempt to get some views on TikTok. Oh, I get it. Haha. Details. Yes, by all means, DO sweat the smallContinue reading “I Don’t Get It”
Without Fail
No matter how great you think you are, there is always someone, somewhere out there, who is better. I saw it a lot of it growing up as I started competitive tackle football at age seven. I would have started at age six, but I was caught trying to forge my parents’ signatures on theContinue reading “Without Fail”
Guidelines
You know I was raised in the fine dining arena beginning with a formal internship with a top French Chef. He was a local hero, a renown ex-member of the French Culinary Olympic Team and he pulled me aside at the end of my hiring interview. “Follow my guidelines and flourish,” he said in French,Continue reading “Guidelines”
Be Very Careful
I guess “Oops, sorry” isn’t cutting it. Neither are sayings like “if you want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs.” For illegally deported citizen Ilmar Garcia, it certainly doesn’t do it. Just don’t ask White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, one of the president’s Killer Blonde Squad. She’ll quote youContinue reading “Be Very Careful”
Self-Confidence
It’s very easy to recognize someone who carries themselves with self-confidence; they are usually quiet and observant, taking everything in and their mind is always working. I got along well utilizing this skill. Especially in the highly competitive fine French dining arena where precision was every bit as important as the creative process. And IContinue reading “Self-Confidence”
Stay With Me Now
Lego says their new billion dollar plant they are building in Vietnam will be “all green.” Talk about a load. How can it be all green if those indestructible pieces made of nothing natural from this planet are being produced there? If you’ve ever had the pleasure of stepping on a few of them youContinue reading “Stay With Me Now”
Make Up Your Mind(s)
Crime seemed way out of control. Republicans blamed Democrats and in many regards, it is coming to light they were closer to the truth than they appeared. We got it in the form of schools and other youthful institutional settings. And the body count kept on climbing… Respect for law enforcement was at an all-timeContinue reading “Make Up Your Mind(s)”
Celebrations
Who doesn’t love a good celebration? Who cares what for, a gathering of people with smiles on their faces cheering for a common good. Nothing better than that. But there’s always that one asshole… It’s hilarious when someone celebrates too soon, only to lose their “sure victory” at the last second. If ever there wasContinue reading “Celebrations”
Now You’ve Done It
Austria has gone ahead and issued a “warning” to Republican states that there will be “retaliation” by the country in response to the recent Trump-imposed tariffs. Better go to Costco and buy about five-hundred of those little cans of Vienna sausages now. I don’t give a damn how good he can shoot a basketball, JaContinue reading “Now You’ve Done It”
