It has been many moons since the excited early Sunday mornings of Easters past. When you pounced on your mom and dad’s bed before they could get some coffee in their hungover bodies. Because you knew the Easter Bunny had left you a basket of chocolate goodies and it was somewhere in the house. EasterContinue reading “Easter Sunday”

Shaking in my Boots
Ooh, I’m so scared. That little bald Russian lawn gnome Putin is making a whole lot of threats to the United States. Is anyone else frightened at the words of a bungling idiot who can’t even take a small country with no resources? If this failed Ukrainian debacle is any indication, perhaps that little dipshitContinue reading “Shaking in my Boots”
Tranquilo
Staying calm. Cool under pressure. Not everyone has it 100% of the time. I’m probably in the high eighties if I am really being honest with myself. I had to “beat” a polygraph test in order to land a major casino Executive Chef job in Las Vegas. Answering truthfully all the questions set up toContinue reading “Tranquilo”
Traveling Man
Not just a classic John Fogerty song, but another signpost along my own itinerary, which was unbeknownst to me. I am posting another short-short-story this time from a lake in Greece, which I found historically captivating and exhausting at once. I love Greek cuisine. Remember we are dealing with the emotion jaded, so have atContinue reading “Traveling Man”
No Picnic
As promised, my short story Mexican Vacation: Mexican Vacation Dave lay perfectly still on the cool adobe floor. He kept his eyes shut and listened to the infected rats shuffling across his cell. He could hear the screams of the former occupants of this six-by-six hell hole. In Spanish or English, it didn’t matter;Continue reading “No Picnic”
Loving Life
A sunny day today and temps in the fifties. I am ready to go get a BBQ for the porch. I just made a batch of my famous marinara and will be inviting Karen’s sister accompanied by the infamous ADOGG over for Sunday dinner. Caesar Salad, a little scampi appetizer followed by Chicken Parm andContinue reading “Loving Life”
Hoosiers
Not only one of the greatest sports stories ever made into film, but here come the Hoosiers of War. Ukraine. Whatever happens from this point on and I can only unfortunately think it will be terrible for the Ukrainians, they have shown that you don’t fuck around with their country. Except in the movie, theContinue reading “Hoosiers”
Q is for Quandary
Which is where I am on several issues. Like watching the Middle East meltdown and laughing as that rascally rascal Putin keeps on pulling Jo-Jo’s strings while China outright threatens what will amount to Global Thermonuclear War. Sound familiar? It is the game that Matthew Broderick played against the WOPR computer in War Games. ExceptContinue reading “Q is for Quandary”
Helicopter
The year was 1979 and I had been in Las Vegas for a couple years of pure hedonism. One of my many adventures happened, as most did, fueled by alcohol and drugs. I had a very rich girlfriend (my girlfriend of five years had walked out on me. She had every right). I was aContinue reading “Helicopter”
Bluetooth
Has anyone on the planet Earth ever bought one and only one Bluetooth? I am coughing, cupping my mouth and trying to say “bull-shit” at the same time. You get the idea. And then, the very instant you get your little package from Amazon with your new device… Found it! As fall is approaching, bleakContinue reading “Bluetooth”
