The Letter “I”

Continuing in an audio fashion for my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! we arrive at the letter I. The emotion is innocence and the emotion is highlighted in the story The Real Summer of Love. Hope you Like It. Stay well.

In a Pig’s Eye

Where did that expression come from? I’ll bet it was someone who lived in a rural setting. Pure genius is what that is. In the latest “It will never happen to us” situation: It happened. ICE agent or not, if you, or any member of your family is in this country illegally, you will beContinue reading “In a Pig’s Eye”

A New Low

Just when I thought I’d seen it all, the Mattel toy company giant comes out with a “Type 1 diabetic Barbie.” So does this mark the official “acceptance” that with all the money and resources available to the world’s medical professionals, that they are giving up completely on finding a cure? As evidenced by theirContinue reading “A New Low”

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”

A Long Way to Go

You see stories of the unabashed hatred some people have for transgender people and I am the last one to understand it, but I don’t hate what I don’t understand. I either study it in depth or move on to another subject. And the world somehow keeps spinning… So I don’t understand the resistance toContinue reading “A Long Way to Go”

Now Hear This…

Both girls and boys. The little girls were great because they did whatever I asked of themContinue reading “Now Hear This…”

Hold On!

Every time I turn around, Trump has signed another bill or made another proposal, or has even reached out to everybody and his brother for a conference. WTF? He didn’t do this much in the entire four years of his first presidency. I want to think that is a good thing, but part of meContinue reading “Hold On!”

Marijuana

I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”

Smells

Some of my very favorites: Newborn baby smell. Doesn’t last for long. Unspoiled. Japanese villages food stalls. New cut lumber. Old car smell. As opposed to the clean, factory-generated new car smell. I’m talking an old Rolls Royce or Bentley Town Car that has endured five kids, three grandchildren and cartons upon cartons of DunhillsContinue reading “Smells”
