I click on way too many of these “stories” and I can’t explain it. I can’t even explain why I can’t take my eyes off the screen as the good-hearted landscaper fixes the old ladies’ overgrown yard, trimming back every weed and perfectly clearing the sidewalks and driveway. But this story said, “Seven words dogsContinue reading “Clickbait”

Jolly Old
I retain fond memories of my time in Europe, particularly in the midlands of England, outside the city of Oxford. Housing for military at the small ex-RAF base Upper Heyford was at a premium, and my mom always insisted we did NOT live in base housing, rather, she preferred us to encounter our new hostContinue reading “Jolly Old”

Shameless
Just when I start to think I’ve seen it all… A man on the moon. A presidential assassination. A black president. A failed American coup. A presidential candidate selling bibles to raise money. Look, you start to get desperate when you are down to your last seven billion dollars. Cuts have to be made. He’llContinue reading “Shameless”
Closing Time
I worked in food service for several decades and closed many an establishment. I worked my way up from dishwasher to starred chef and at that level, I had a Chef Tournant whose staff would close and secure my kitchen. If I was on hand for closing, it was for a special occasion, or IContinue reading “Closing Time”
Never in a Million Years
Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. There are only two genders. Everything else is a contrivance. There are many derivatives, identifications, and permutations, but there is male and female. Eso es. But that being said, everything else that spills out of her diseased mind is horseshit. So United Airlines is seating window-seat passengers and it hasContinue reading “Never in a Million Years”
Why Bother?
Why do we go the extra mile, above and beyond, and exceed expectations? Overemphasis on winning, or in my own case, hatred of losing? Now I am discounting the J. Pierpont Finches of the business world. You know them. The guys (or gals) that can’t find their ass with both hands, do mediocre work (atContinue reading “Why Bother?”
Once Again I Was Right
Too much, too soon. America, in it’s zeal to stand up on a soap box, beat its chest, and proclaim: “We are inclusive, open-minded, and the United States of America embraces everyone and everything under the sun,” blah, blah, blah… Really? With identity such a hot topic, I hear hate speech every day it seems.Continue reading “Once Again I Was Right”
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”
“X” Marks the Spot
In my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s!, I list emotions under every letter of the alphabet. Check out my preface and the short story illustrating the letter “X”: X Since I live in one of the nation’s driest areas (Phoenix, Arizona), my first instinct under this difficult heading was xeric, or pertaining to dryContinue reading ““X” Marks the Spot”
