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”

Jolly Old
I retain fond memories of my time in Europe, particularly in the midlands of England, outside the city of Oxford.

How Lucky Can You Get?
The first time I remember hearing the expression was when I was a horny teenager and it was whatever you did or could do, to put you in a position to partake in some sort of sexual activity. Now, if you don’t believe in luck, as some people don’t, it tells me a couple thingsContinue reading “How Lucky Can You Get?”
Just a Hug
Sometimes the human touch, the connection made between two members of the species, is the answer. I have spoken of a mysterious young girl that lived across the street from my condo in North Las Vegas in the early eighties. I suspected she was in an abusive situation, but I had no concrete evidence. OneContinue reading “Just a Hug”
What Comes Around…
That lying, thieving, cheating, murdering fraudster Alex Murdaugh was given forty years to serve on his myriad of fraud charges. Even running concurrently, he should get out around the time he hits 95. Timing. You are driving along the Pacific Coast Highway with the beautiful pink sunset on your right shoulder as you head southContinue reading “What Comes Around…”

Thanks to some European influences, the team was starting to grow a strong following. One of the coaches was Thomas Heinz from Stuttgart, Germany, and an ex-Bundesliga (topContinue reading “Another Brick in the Wall”
How Stupid Was I?
Oh boy, where do you start? Selfish more than anything. I always made sure my dog and I always had the best food, liquor, and drugs and we always had a nice place to stay. And did we meet some interesting people. But I only ever got close to one girl I met on theContinue reading “How Stupid Was I?”
Worlds Apart
As the rise of antisemitism spreads throughout The Greatest Country on Earth (pardon me while I have a good belly laugh), our progress as a civilization appears to have hit one of the buried Ukrainian landmines (Hey remember that war? It’s still going on!). We are in a downward spiral, and it is not hardContinue reading “Worlds Apart”
Where Do You Draw The Line?
Just how far will you really go? I admit to doing some absolutely bat-shit crazy dangerous things, but it was usually a confluence of factors including drugs and alcohol. I won’t die by falling off a dangerous cliff. Promise. I would readily die defending my wife and family members. But how far down the familyContinue reading “Where Do You Draw The Line?”
A Teaser
In my taking-me-forever first novel If Only…I share my view of our nation with women the dominant gender in the world. And so for my wife, the Domestic Despot who thinks I’m just sitting here at my desk getting stoned all day, here is what I have so far: The Red Manse 0600 hrs. Continue reading “A Teaser”
