It’s not every day, or often enough, for that matter, that you see or hear something and it makes you say “wow!” out loud. In researching songs to add to my playlist, I came upon a video on YouTube posted in 2103. It featured Stevie Ray Vaughn (the King of West Texas blues) and JeffContinue reading “Wow!”

Goodbye and Farewell
The closer I get to my own denouement, the more people that pass into the Next Sphere that have affected my life. I was a Leave it to Beaver guy. Wally (Tony Dow) was the prototypical big brother from the fifties. I suppose he reminded me of my own big brother. Eddie Haskell was money.Continue reading “Goodbye and Farewell”
A Great Show
I got to see Ashley McBryde last night. Oh, and some guy named Hank Jr. jk. This was my fifth Hank Williams Jr. show dating back to the seventies. That’s right. Fifty years ago. He’s still got it. He rocked the house on a couple tunes and had all of us singing along with hisContinue reading “A Great Show”
Numbers
Being “good with numbers” is pretty much a requirement for any successful businessperson. I don’t care to even think about how much money I wasted in my life. The amount would disgust some, but I don’t give a shit. It makes me smile. And it gave me true stories that others can only read about.Continue reading “Numbers”
Like Riding a Bike
Some things you can’t forget even if you wanted to. Like playing ping-pong, or table tennis which I pursued seriously in my three years in Jolly Olde England. Like playing an E chord on the guitar. Like riding a bike. Like getting a cavernous bowl of popcorn and watching movies all day long. Try forgettingContinue reading “Like Riding a Bike”
Game Day
The time when players step up and perform their best. In high school I practiced hard, maybe not maniac-hard like some of the monsters on the team, but I showed up good enough to keep my backup role intact. Until I pulled my hamstring and Achilles making a tackle. That took me off the rosterContinue reading “Game Day”
It Was Only a Moment
Bagger.” Four short years ago; lifetimes have been lived in such a short span. I was walking. Running. Golfing. And I took it for granted that I would always be able to do so: I like to look at the top pic because it is the last of me actually walking with Karen as weContinue reading “It Was Only a Moment”
Connecting
Sometimes, when you least expect it, something happens in your life that takes you aback. It infuses you with a totally new and different perspective. I had one of those moments at breakfast yesterday morning. Truth be told, I was feeling a little down on myself for hurting so much even though I have reallyContinue reading “Connecting”
Go Quietly Into the Night
Bullshit. With maybe the lone exception being an escape from murderous pain over which you have no control. Otherwise, you don’t go anywhere quietly. You fight with every single ounce of energy that you can muster, and you are not out (or gone) until you have given your all. This life is far too beautiful,Continue reading “Go Quietly Into the Night”
Miracles
You either believe in them or you don’t. I believe in them. There some clinical people who need a scientific explanation for everything. They must quantify everything they see. I don’t get it. There does NOT have to be a reason for something. I am definitely not proposing that we just throw our hands upContinue reading “Miracles”
