New Language

Let’s face it. As we (are supposed to) evolve, our lexicon changes, our perspective changes, and it’s happening all around us. I hear new terms and before I can react, I have to look up what it is I am reacting to. It took me years evidently, to realize that Karen was a pejorative termContinue reading “New Language”

And the Beat Goes On…

Sonny and Cher walkin’ the talk. Kansas is making it pretty clear what their thoughts are on the whole LGBTQ alphabet thingy. Not the place to go for many people. South Carolina just became the only State Supreme Court in the United States with all-male judges. So what do they do? They revisit the abortionContinue reading “And the Beat Goes On…”

Strike One

I always said that I thought Putin would be taken down by his own rather than in a foreign altercation. Not this time. After reading the capabilities of our Ohio-class submarines, at least what they share with us, that numb-nuts Putin better shut the fuck up and quit provoking the United States. But don’t believeContinue reading “Strike One”

You Don’t Say!

A year ago you couldn’t avoid stories about BabyHead Putin’s fuck-up of an “invasion.” They were everywhere. But the big news ended up being the resolve of the Ukrainian people and their allies as they proudly defended their country. So I am thinking that they faced that bald little bastard Putin’s best shot and handledContinue reading “You Don’t Say!”

I Cannot Fathom…

No, not the poorest of taste in jokes considering the latest tragedy of the deep bombarding us from every news outlet, but my knee-jerk reaction when I heard of the five souls lost at sea. Right out of a Netflix movie script, and you can believe there will be movies to come, the vessel wasContinue reading “I Cannot Fathom…”

No Excuses! Again

I’ve been lolly-gagging and dilly-dallying now for two years since I said I would write my second book, my first novel. I have titled it If Only…, and if you were following my blog way back then, here’s what I said: About the Book           If Only… represents my first full-length novel.           The bookContinue reading “No Excuses! Again”

What Have I Missed?

An English football club just won the insanely-difficult treble; they won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and now, the crowning Champions’ League. At least a Manchester team won, just not my Manchester team. Maybe next year for my Red Devils. I always swear off even looking at the website, but inevitably have to findContinue reading “What Have I Missed?”

Thoughts on a Summer Day

I look out my office window at the bird feeder and birdbath and damn if I am not starting to recognize several of the feeders and bathers that frequent our little bird spa. There is Louie, a big brown bird that has the loudest voice I have ever heard, save a few crows in California.Continue reading “Thoughts on a Summer Day”

Perfection I Say

It was starting to turn cold, as was Her wont in late fall in the High Sierras. The crisp wind startled Henry; more like a light slap in the face as snow bid its time and perched on the higher elevations. Just waiting. Henry Davis was a criminal; it was no secret, nor did heContinue reading “Perfection I Say”
