I made time to block out more of my novel, If Only, and in order to do a serviceable job on the subject of a world where females are the dominant gender, I have to start by breaking down the differences between us. Firstly, I had to address the very issue of gender identification. HowContinue reading “Moving Forward”

The Long Wait is Over
For me, anyway. The start of the Premier League football season begins today with my Manchester United Reds hosting Fulham, a team that sneaks into the top ten on occasion, but are in no danger for the top six spots. Now, although I am very skeptical about the retention of manager Erik Ten Hag, IContinue reading “The Long Wait is Over”
Asking for Help
I can’t explain why, but it is the very hardest thing for me to do. Now, with only one leg and the possibility of further surgeries on the horizon, I don’t have a lot of choice in the matter. I just can’t do what I used to do. Not alone. The very first thing thatContinue reading “Asking for Help”
Back in the Saddle
Sort of. I went from enjoying the beautiful southern Ohio summer to tubes, injections and a five-day hospital stay that seemed much longer. I am currently on home care with a nurse and IV antibiotics which I must administer daily. It is a colossal pain-in-the-ass but the alternative will necessitate the use of the surgicalContinue reading “Back in the Saddle”
Smells
Some of my very favorites: Newborn baby smell. Doesn’t last for long. Unspoiled. Japanese villages food stalls. New cut lumber. Old car smell. As opposed to the clean, factory-generated new car smell. I’m talking an old Rolls Royce or Bentley Town Car that has endured five kids, three grandchildren and cartons upon cartons of DunhillsContinue reading “Smells”
Thank You
Now that I’m a 1000+ blog poster, I wanted to take a minute to offer thanks to some of the key people who have each helped, in their own way, to make this one glorious ride so far. I want to thank Linda, an 8th grader (I was in seventh grade) for telling me IContinue reading “Thank You”
Pass the Salt
This crow is a little bland. Just when I throw in the towel for democracy in general and the Democratic party in particular, one hundred million dollars is raised in 48 hours for the presumptive presidential nominee Kamala Harris. This money is coming from five, ten, and twenty dollar donations from citizens across this greatContinue reading “Pass the Salt”
I Don’t Care…
about our dying democracy; I care for future generations. I don’t give a damn about our crumbling bicameral system; it’s not working. And don’t get me started about the self-centered dumbasses that populate our judicial branch. If you think it’s bad now…… I have maybe a decade left (if I’m lucky), so their favorite dictatorContinue reading “I Don’t Care…”
Can You Just Imagine?
One of the benefits of being a bit off-kilter (a polite way of saying nuttier than Cooter Brown) is that there is a non-stop reel of craziness that runs 24/7 through my gourd. If you doubt my craziness, I just wrote nuttier than Cooter Brown. Truly bad cinema. People that know me have come toContinue reading “Can You Just Imagine?”
Back and Motivated!
This will be my first post in over a week, so I will cover a lot of ground. A last-minute call from a fellow musician landed me an 8-11 gig last night at a local brewery. I quickly threw a playlist together of about seventy-five songs from all genres and showed up. It was aContinue reading “Back and Motivated!”
