Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Playoffs?!!! Yes, they are inching closer… Excruciatingly slow for college football fans and even more slowly if your team or teams is/are still in contention for one of the coveted 12 available spots. There are very few certainties anymore in the college football world where champions are bought and sold like prized cattleContinue reading “Playoffs?”

The Letter “Z”
Finishing with audio segments of my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! We come to the letter Z. I chose the emotion zealous to be highlighted by my short-short story titled Halftime. Hope you like it. If you missed any of the posts, I think they are still on this site archived somewhere. Again, IContinue reading “The Letter “Z””
Funny Bone
Why all the hate between late-night talk show hosts and the president and his policies and tactics? It used to be, not that long ago, that comics joked and made wisecracks, we laughed, thought how clever, and moved on. What happened to that? These are just highly paid entertainers that started amusing us starting inContinue reading “Funny Bone”
Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
I Plead the Fourth
I’m back in sports heaven now that college football games and English Premier League football matches have resumed, so I continue my posting of songs I have recorded and/or written. I will resume writing in the more conventional way after Monday night’s TCU vs North Carolina game. Four straight days of music, this time allContinue reading “I Plead the Fourth”
Always the Last to Know
John Cena had a good run. But like all good things… Now that he is hand-stitching his hair to his scalp, it’s time to call it a day, Champ. He says his body is screaming at him to retire. I hope he listens to it. Every so often Florida screws up and does something right…Continue reading “Always the Last to Know”
Take a Hike
So it’s not just arrogant Americans… Australia has its share of dumbasses who have no respect for nature or the planet on which we dwell. Don’t they have a clue what “protected” forests are? People like them should leave our ecosystem. They are just taking up good oxygen that a tree or bush could beContinue reading “Take a Hike”
Tennessee
I have a great affinity for the state, as I spent a summer in Lebanon, just forty miles west of Nashville, training to be a Cracker Barrel manager. I fell in love with the miles of greenery, very unlike Phoenix, Arizona where I joined the company. Great golf and awesome fishing are two takeaways fromContinue reading “Tennessee”
Welcome to the Jungle
It looks like we have run out of third-world countries to send our deportees to, so what to do? Not to worry. We will send them to the next best thing….Indiana. Remember when steroids used to be an everyday news story? I was never good, big, or fast enough of a football player to entertainContinue reading “Welcome to the Jungle”
Horse Sense
Where else but Texas? Neo-Nazi Governor Greg Abbott calls the legislators to assemble and vote on the Almost Final Solution whereby they rearrange district boundaries that will allow the Republicans to overcome the advantage and gain five more seats. So the Democrats run away and play hide-and-seek. What are you, idiots? Four years old? ThatContinue reading “Horse Sense”
