See What Happens?

When I take a week off from posting blogs? For starters, my Manchester United Red Devils continue to flail helplessly in the quicksand that has become the reign of Erik Ten Hag. It seems like rather than accept responsibility, he thinks he can fire/trade his way to molding a team in his image. But soContinue reading “See What Happens?”

More Pet Peeves

As I like to enlighten my wife with how things will change “when I am over everything,” the changes will go as follows: the pear in the commercial has to try doing a few push-ups to build those arms up. He’s got to learn to lift the carton all by himself. Commercials stop normalizing abnormalContinue reading “More Pet Peeves”

Be Careful What You Ask For

Would you really risk life and limb of yourself and your family to try and migrate to the United States? Evidently, it is worth the risk for tens of thousands per day. Man, this country can’t take care of the citizens it has now. As long as our political climate remains so polarized, there willContinue reading “Be Careful What You Ask For”

More Than a Dance

So I got together with some musicians I used to play with back in the early nineties and it was a blast. Only thirty years removed from our last gig together, we sounded surprisingly tight, albeit a little rusty. There was a bigger crowd than I expected, and we were pleasantly surprised at the energyContinue reading “More Than a Dance”

I Know it Sounds Corny…

And I’m sure it would be found abhorrent to one of todays’ tech-savvy kids, but I remember in Bossier City, Louisiana in the mid-sixties, I was attending an elementary school. On the school bus home after classes ended, the entire bus would sing songs! I remember “Red Roses for a Blue Lady, Birds and theContinue reading “I Know it Sounds Corny…”

No News

Here’s a thought. How about we go to weekly newscasts? Think about it. What changes from day-to-day? The same hatreds (maybe a few new ones even), the same prejudices (maybe a few new ones even). I don’t need a morning caucus of chowderheads like that Dilton Doily-looking dumbass Joe. Talk about an egomaniacal misogynist. LetContinue reading “No News”

Of All the Ways…

Mass killing. Guns. Knives. Bombs. Virus. Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes? There are forty-three less hikers in Colorado alone this year that would LOVE to beg to differ, but they can’t. They’re dead. Done in by mosquitoes. In 1966, under the summer lights of our Little League baseball games, I would stand in center field where the brightestContinue reading “Of All the Ways…”

Stick to What You Know

The Wall Street Journal, that venerable financial tool, is reporting that the Israeli military is having to enter densely-populated urban areas in their war effort. Genius. I am sure if the Hamas murderers were out in the desert somewhere, the headline would change. What a bunch of pencil-necked numbers crunchers. You won’t see any ofContinue reading “Stick to What You Know”

Down, But Not Out

I wasn’t feeling bad at all, having played an hour-long set at a new bar that wants to attract new patrons. My dinner consisted of a 4 oz piece of T-bone steak and exactly 10 Tater Tots (yes I counted them). I was sick as a dog on Friday night and I thought I wasContinue reading “Down, But Not Out”

Innocence Lost

When I was a young man, I carried the mindset of a wide-eyed child, marveling at everything this amazing world has to offer. I was always treated well no matter which country I was in, so I thought nice, welcoming people were the norm. Right. Three thieves break into a house. One injured and arrested.Continue reading “Innocence Lost”
