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”

Songwriting Class II
“When it’s too tough for you, it’s just right for me.” Words I was raised on. My big brother. He was the star high school player and I was a slow eighty-pound guard on our Pee Wee Pop Warner football team on Tachikawa Air Force Base. After school, I would head to football practice asContinue reading “Songwriting Class II”
Morsels From My Mind
I see Phoenix is cleaning up the tent city that has sprouted up in the downtown area. Where are they moving it to? Leasing hotel rooms? For how long? Once again, I have the solution and it is, at the risk of blowing my own horn, brilliant. Put the homeless to work and train themContinue reading “Morsels From My Mind”
Speeding
I drive too fast. And they got me. I was on my way home from a drummer audition and I was going about 85 on the Interstate when the lights came on and I had to cross two lanes to get to the shoulder of the road. Busted. No excuses, no emergency to get to,Continue reading “Speeding”
Can’t Do It
Nope. The only Queen I have known in my lifetime called her “Queen Consort” and that’s what she shall remain. Relax. She will not succeed the King were he to expire. Charles’ progeny will continue the lineage Oh, I’m sure I will hear it about this, but you know me. British women, on the whole,Continue reading “Can’t Do It”
Incredible
People are still killing people because they can’t stop drinking and getting behind a wheel. It’s like cigarette smoke. If it only stayed within the body of the smoker and didn’t stink up someone else’s personal space, there would be no problem. Or if the offending smoker didn’t act like the bovine creature they areContinue reading “Incredible”
I LOVE GOOGLE!
Okay. Since I wrote that I hated Google previously, I feel obliged to backtrack on my stance. After writing about how inept my situation was being handled, come to find out, it was ME who was fucking up and I kept getting my passwords jumbled. I still do not use it as the “end allContinue reading “I LOVE GOOGLE!”
