Have you noticed how I have purposefully avoided saying anything at all about my beloved Man U Reds? Nor will I, lest I start to even begin to fathom the depths at which this once-proud, once globally-feared organization has sunk so low. “Oh pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth”… I caught a glimpse ofContinue reading “Tidbits”

Maddogg’s Big Night(s)
It actually went about as well as I could have hoped for. Here are two short videos that my main roadie Karen successfully filmed. It was not the largest crowd I have ever played for, but it was far from the smallest. The people were all polite, interested and engaged which is all a musicianContinue reading “Maddogg’s Big Night(s)”
Random Thoughts
I say “enough” of those “Remember her? Once beautiful, wait until you see her now” clickbait (is that what you call it?) ads. Once beautiful implies that there is an expiration date to the standard of beauty as we have come to define it. You should be ashamed of yourself for fat-shaming my girls KirstieContinue reading “Random Thoughts”
Be Kind
Just because. I used the emotion kindness for the letter “K.” Here is the preface and I am also posting the short story called Stewardship. Hope you like them: K Kindness is such a basic requirement for membership in the human race that it is almost an embarrassment to list it. “It doesn’tContinue reading “Be Kind”
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”
Info Overload
I hope this is not, but first, check out a W&B session song: Now here is the short story The REAL Summer of Love: The Real Summer of Love We lived in a small two-story house at the end of a shady country lane. There were three houses actually, all similarly constructed of darkContinue reading “Info Overload”
Innocence
I used innocence representing the letter “I” in my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! The story, which will be posted in its entirety in tomorrow night’s blog, details my own coming of age story. See how I went from maddpup to maddogg. The setting is England and a lovely, rare summer that graced us.Continue reading “Innocence”
Pick Your Poison
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”
