Genuine versus an imitation. How about imitation crab? Have you seen this white rubber painted with a color that resembles the unmistakable orange-pink hues of mercurochrome. I prefer big meaty King Crab legs. Egg Beaters. I know egg yolks are bad for you, but I figure I might eat less than a dozen eggs inContinue reading “Real or Fake?”

Who Cares?
As I approach the last fifteen years of my life, I can not only see my own ticket being punched, but I will leave with a hope for the future of all species. I remember being so caught up in idealism and truth that it led me to pursue pre-law in my first college experience.Continue reading “Who Cares?”
Team Loyalty
I don’t get fair weather fans. You know, the ones with all the gear, know all the latest news and buzz about the team, but as soon as the team suffers a bit of a downturn, off the bandwagon they jump. I remember being in Sun Devil stadium in Tempe, Arizona the last time NotreContinue reading “Team Loyalty”
Just Once
I want to see stupid tourists endure instant karma and ignore the barriers, jump the fences and hop onto a rock formation that cracks and sends them to a crushing death below. But that’s just me. Is it me, or did it take about fifty less elections to get rid of that lame-ass KMac? IContinue reading “Just Once”
Either Or
Either through a cloudy drug haze, revenge, or infatuation, I was able to experience the trappings of the lifestyle of the mega-wealthy in my youth. Of course none of this happened because the Domestic Despot will tell you, without blinking, that there was no one else before she appeared in my life. So in theContinue reading “Either Or”
What’s Next?
Artificial Intelligence. Although if you queried the Domestic Despot, she would offer that she has been living with artificial intelligence since we moved in together into a tiny studio apartment in the foothills of Santa Barbara in 1986. What I want to know is why, all of a sudden, are we inundated with idiot politiciansContinue reading “What’s Next?”
Bewitched
It is the only explanation I have for it. It was a cool morning in the San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff and south of the Grand Canyon, and I was headed to the white Aspen trees where I planned to camp for a few days and eat some pharmaceutical LSD. My unpaid assistant, theContinue reading “Bewitched”
A Teaser
In my taking-me-forever first novel If Only…I share my view of our nation with women the dominant gender in the world. And so for my wife, the Domestic Despot who thinks I’m just sitting here at my desk getting stoned all day, here is what I have so far: The Red Manse 0600 hrs. Continue reading “A Teaser”
Grey Divorce
I had no idea what that even was until some family members we have are going through issues after forty years. Forty years. I don’t have a clue about the new ways of going about getting married, as I was one of those saps that did the whole “struck by a thunderbolt” thing when IContinue reading “Grey Divorce”
Le Dans Macabre
More than five-hundred mass shootings in The Greatest Country on Earth….. So far. What a tragedy. A beautiful 440-lb. brown bear was euthanized because human swine, deserving of loss of life, decided they were obviously raised by bovine grandparents and simian parents and had to throw out their trash and garbage uncovered and littered throughoutContinue reading “Le Dans Macabre”
