If it were only that easy. As I promised. Here is a stab at an old Hank classic: Also as promised (don’t stop me now, I’m on a roll), here is the short story Restraint: Restraint It was a sunny Saturday afternoon and I was taking advantage of the bank’s extended weekend hours to transferContinue reading “Pick Your Poison”

Beautiful Day
They are all beautiful, but today was hell-good on the weather front. 72 degrees. Sunny. Where was I? The golf course is where I should have been, but I was laid up again with my damn stump and the sore that is posing a problem with me walking. Heading in to my prosthetist tomorrow. HopefullyContinue reading “Beautiful Day”
Longshot
I admit it. I am a sucker for the occasional wager on an underdog or any bet with a high return. For example, in all the crap games I’ve played. Invariably, the formula repeated itself every time I was rolling dice: I start with a medium-sized (100.00) bet on the Pass Line. If it hits,Continue reading “Longshot”
Scaredy Cat
Don’t be afraid to be afraid. People can talk shit all they want, but everyone fears something. My fears are way unreasonable and usually out of the realm of possibility, at least that’s what Karen says. I am afraid of being eaten alive by a wild animal. I lived a couple years in the mountainsContinue reading “Scaredy Cat”
Front Runners
Bandwagon jumpers, johhny-come-latelys, whatever you want to call them, I don’t like them. There is something to be said about staying loyal to well, anything, rather than place your allegiance based on a team’s winning percentage at the moment. I actually switched my fanship long ago from the geographically convenient Los Angeles Rams to differentContinue reading “Front Runners”

I helped keep theAmerican economy flowing. My money wasn’t in my pockets, or my wallet,Continue reading “Saving”
I Promised and I Delivered
When I set about writing my first book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I started reading every short story I could get my hands on. I was looking to find the average amount of pages it took to tell a great story. I originally put over 30 stories into under 100 pages. Each story willContinue reading “I Promised and I Delivered”
Excerpt From my Book
In my compendium of short and short-short stories, EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s, I pick different selections which are a totally new genre in that my stories elicit maximum emotional impact using an economy of words. One example is the very first story in the book titled My Furry Friend. My Furry Friend HeContinue reading “Excerpt From my Book”
The Best Laid Plans
…of mice and men are aft gang afley. My man Charles Dickens. Seems like a very trippy dude. I woke up this morning, had a hot cup of java, and turned on the news. “Putin (aka BabyHead) is quoted as saying about his joke of an “invasion” of mighty Ukraine, “ Everything is going asContinue reading “The Best Laid Plans”
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”
