Hitchhiking. You just don’t see it anymore. It used to be a means of transporting one’s self to points unknown with a complete stranger. I know, not because I ever had to hitch a ride to go somewhere, but because I was the guy who would stop and pick up whoever had their thumbs out.Continue reading “Thumb Tripping”

Good vs. Evil
The eternal struggle. Knowing the right thing to do and actually doing it are worlds apart. When I made my decision to withdraw from college and hit the road with a regional touring rock and roll band, I knew it was not the right thing to do. But it allowed me to experience the electricContinue reading “Good vs. Evil”
Heroes
Everyone has their own set of heroes. I am like many, with sports heroes prominent in my adulation, but there has always been one constant hero throughout my life. This is a person who has always stood as a symbol of strength and responsibility to me. He has never questioned me or many of theContinue reading “Heroes”
Merry Christmas
I know; it was yesterday, but I was too busy having fun and enjoying our holiday Turkey Dinner with just the two of us, the Diaz Brothers, and a twenty-six pound turkey. The snow is about a foot deep everywhere, and it doesn’t look like there is any 2022 city budget money left to roustContinue reading “Merry Christmas”
Paying the Bills
Many people struggling. Yet another reason for our political parties to come together as a unit and quit fighting like two thirteen-year old girls. Next thing you know, we’ll be doing each other’s hair and freezing each other’s bras while we smoke ciggies and talk about hunks. Not bloody likely. Man, I thought O.J. SimpsonContinue reading “Paying the Bills”

I had a chance to find out when I was in my late thirties. I was living in Norman, Oklahoma andContinue reading “Bigger Than I Ever Knew”
Faster Food
I have been living on fast food for the past six weeks. I have eaten more burgers, fries, etc. in that time than I did in my entire life except high school, when I would eat about 8 Whoppers before and after football practice. And then go home and eat dinner with the family. ThatContinue reading “Faster Food”
Hard Cider
Everywhere you look, hard ciders are in. If a flavor in nature can be reproduced chemically in a laboratory, that flavor is on its way. When I was a thirteen-year old kid in England I discovered the best thing (besides birds) that a young kid could get his hands on, was hard cider, or justContinue reading “Hard Cider”
My Bad
Since I spent most of the day bringing my wife back to the land of the living, I did not get a chance to tape my next audio installment. So I am doing it now and as soon as I finish off this celebratory bowl of Sativa, I will read the Preface for the letterContinue reading “My Bad”
