Finally! My beloved Manchester United Red Devil football club has given manager Erik Ten Hag his walking papers after guiding the team down as low as we have ever been in the Premier League. I never cared for the man, I admit, but he never really did anything during his tenure that changed my opinionContinue reading “Changes”

Marijuana
I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”
Mere Observations
So the machinists at Boeing are continuing their walkout, demanding a new contract. Their planes are falling apart and dropping out of the sky on a daily basis, so why not reward them with more money? I’ll take the train, thanks. September home sales were highest in years, but how is anyone able to buyContinue reading “Mere Observations”
One Speed
That’s all you should have. To quote the late great Gene Wilder from 1980’s Stir Crazy, balls out. Off or balls out. For everything. You only get one chance to live each and every moment of your time on this planet in this sphere of existence. Then you die. So don’t dial it in. IContinue reading “One Speed”
Respect
Nothing but mad respect for all healthcare professionals, but nurses in particular, seem to spend the most face time with patients whenever you are hospitalized.

Fork it Over (cont’d)
I had eaten some mushrooms of suspect origin. Stay well.
Fork it Over
I have no earthly idea what that means in the figurative sense, but according to my life companion for the last forty years, I don’t have a clue about anything anyway. I can see “hand it over” and even the incorrect “give it over” which are the instructions the Domestic Despot gives to our doggiesContinue reading “Fork it Over”
One Summer in Japan
Or just, the neighborhood, which is what we knew it as. We were living on Showa Air Force Base in the early sixties and this shorty is about our neighborhood there. Everybody knew everyone who lived in the neighborhood and recognized everyone’s’ kids on the street and outside playing in groups. Remember that? Playing outside?Continue reading “One Summer in Japan”
Options
LIfe is all about options. The choices we make, the reasons we come up with to justify our actions, and the consequences we ultimately must pay for them. There is a balance to the universe and it is even more simplistic than the concept of yin and yang and the balance it perpetuates. Right andContinue reading “Options”
