Who doesn’t love a beautifully crafted buffet replete with ice carvings and hot and cold delicacies? Being in food service so long it just goes to figure that I would have some experience with buffets. As an eager Assistant Manager at a fine dinner house in Santa Barbara, we had a buffet that I supervised,Continue reading “Buffets”

BabyHead is Getting Nervous
He who looks like he has Charlie Brown’s head on his body is getting a little nervous and he recently told recently re-elected French President Macron that “the West should stop arming Ukraine.” Yeah, right. How about you just get the fuck back to Russia where you belong? It is starting to look like theContinue reading “BabyHead is Getting Nervous”
Tenacity
A great characteristic to possess. People possess it in varying degrees. You can have an extremely lazy and unmotivated mother who will turn into a veritable killing machine if you try to mess with one of her kids. Even though she is too damn lazy to properly care for them. I am trying to thinkContinue reading “Tenacity”
Here’s My Two-Cents
Well, it looks like we can all relax and call it a war. That whacky little bird Nancy Pelosi has gone to the Ukraine, so Babyhead Putin might as well just give up now. I once had a one night stand with a drunk version of Marjorie Taylor Greene before she was born (now IContinue reading “Here’s My Two-Cents”
Inflation
This is going to sound ridiculous, but I can’t ever remember being affected by inflation in my entire life. When I was growing up overseas, the military took care of everything and I can never remember wanting for anything. I am sure my parents felt the effects of inflation and applying it to a familyContinue reading “Inflation”
Reputations
Reputations are fickle things and they can be downright lies, it doesn’t really matter. Reputations are built on belief. Belief in yourself, first and foremost, if you don’t believe, you won’t achieve. If that is not a Boys Club slogan waiting to happen; Maddogg did it again. If enough people believe something, it becomes acceptedContinue reading “Reputations”
Life Goes On
Sometimes excruciatingly slow, sometimes it races right past us. I would like to say that as I enter my Golden Years (Karen just flapped her lips and told me that happened long ago—that’s cold), that time slows to where you are able to admire every little precious detail of God’s creation in all its splendorContinue reading “Life Goes On”
I Wouldn’t Leave if You Paid Me
I’m home. I went to the Wednesday open mic night at the Lucky Star Brewery. It is just down the street from me and it attracts some excellent players, most of us have paying gigs and the quality and variety is through the roof. The crowd started slow but there were more people arriving asContinue reading “I Wouldn’t Leave if You Paid Me”
Free Speech
Sure it’s free, it costs nothing to open your gaping yap and spew bullshit. Forget whether the words are full of hate or whether the words are inciteful and dangerous. Doesn’t matter. It is my right and my speech is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. WhatContinue reading “Free Speech”
Unrealistic Expectations
The realm in which I exist according to the Domestic Despot. As I told you the other day, I always send an email to Robin Meade asking her to show up at one of my gigs just to see the look on my wife’s face. At that point I would exist in the realm ofContinue reading “Unrealistic Expectations”
