To describe the disdain and condemnation I feel for child or animal abusers. I view them the same. That is why not one red cent of any lottery winnings I might ever win would end up in human charities. In my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s, under the emotion Affable, I quote a fictionalContinue reading “There Are No Words”

Ripped From the Headlines
A tourist fell into an active volcano when she lost her footing. The initial autopsy ruled she succumbed to her injuries, bleeding out in about twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. Think of that: you have broken your arms and legs which are bleeding and you helplessly slowly bleed out as a toxic cloud floats overhead. AddContinue reading “Ripped From the Headlines”
Another Day in the Life
Happy 4th of July. Now you are dead. In your teens. Mass shootings in Indianapolis and Chicago are just a few of the ways we Americans like to celebrate our Day of Independence. Alligator Alcatraz. I understand the logic. Take your chances with the crocodiles and pythons or get your skin bleached, dress up likeContinue reading “Another Day in the Life”
Brace Yourself
The Russian head of the Ministry of Oil has “fallen out of a window” (oops!) as have many people who found themselves in disfavor with none other than that little bald lawn gnome Putin. Oh yeah. He left a suicide note. Right. Talk about blowing my mind… France is placing a ban on smoking inContinue reading “Brace Yourself”

That takes balls, yes, butContinue reading “Did That Happen?”
Hold My Beer
Well I guess the question of just how the American MLS (Major League Soccer) stacks up against world-class competition has been answered. Sorry, Sir David. It doesn’t. Not by a long shot. Paris Saint Germain made them look like a high school team. Not even the great magic of Lionel Messi or the power ofContinue reading “Hold My Beer”
All Over It
Come and Get It
I saw that episode of Law and Order. I don’t know what the maximum sentence in Colorado is for 191 counts of corpse abuse, and let’s not forget federal fraud charges, but I hope it’s a lot and I hope they give the guilty funeral director the max. The stones on this guy. He throwsContinue reading “Come and Get It”
Clear as Mud
Ouch!
It was tough watching Indiana Pacer Tyrese Haliburton go down with a severed Achilles tendon last night in the seventh game of the NBA Finals. I can totally relate (to the injury, not the skill level) because the exact same thing happened to me back in 1982. I was opening up a large family restaurantContinue reading “Ouch!”
