I hate them. Not for what they are, but what they represent. Man’s dominion over the animal world. Sometimes I get so stoned that I wish there were this benevolent large animal that has just had it up to here and has had enough. I hope this animal would spend a few days out inContinue reading “Zoos”

Salmon
Yummy. And a chef’s dream. It has a mellow flavor, one that takes to almost any treatment or sauce. Nice color for plating. It is actually healthy for you before us chefs start putting our fatty, artery-clogging sauces and butters to it. One of my favorite things to do was to braid strips of differentContinue reading “Salmon”
I Hate Losing
I’ve said it before. I just sat through a disgusting display by the Manchester United Football Club. I am a Red through and through, but when it takes 10 penalty shots to lose to a substandard team from Spain, we just don’t have the team we want or need to represent Old Trafford and theContinue reading “I Hate Losing”
Relationships
Here’s a subject I know really nothing about, so it is only logical I use it as the subject for my blog. When I was a young man, I was the absolute worst. It was a time period in my life that I am not the proudest about. I guess I should be happy justContinue reading “Relationships”
Blood
You absolutely, positively can’t live without it. There is nothing more valuable. So why the romance in movies with so much bloodshed? You can debate when it all started, but for my generation there was nothing more shockingly violent and bloody than when Director Sam Peckinpah released The Wild Bunch and their wanton ways. ItContinue reading “Blood”
Can You Believe it?
She was one crazy bitch and I was nuttier than Cooder Brown. Oil and water. She was the very worst type of woman for me: a woman with a voice that insisted on using it and could not and would not, be ignored. I won’t be ignored, Dan! I like to think of her asContinue reading “Can You Believe it?”
Lemons
Lemons rock. Why, then, do lemons get a negative connotation in the normal course of a day? For example, when a car is not considered very road-worthy, it is called a lemon. Why not a lime, or better yet, a Key Lime? Why not a pie made with the driest and most sour pomegranate rind,Continue reading “Lemons”
Thoughts on a Sunday
I woke up this morning to the song Old Habits by Hank Williams Jr. bouncing around my noodle. I fired up a bowl and played the song so the day just got better for me. I used to love watching the old CMT videos. I learned many a song from them. Learning and playing C&WContinue reading “Thoughts on a Sunday”
Vacation Day Four
We got up and Karen wanted to get a last hike in before leaving, so a short trip up to Lake Mary before another hearty breakfast (hearty is code for pancakes—a definite “no-no“ for my usual diet). Here are a few pics of our way out of the mountains and as we approach Ventura whereContinue reading “Vacation Day Four”
Vacation Day Three
Got up a couple hours before dawn and it was cold. We headed out early so Karen could get some hiking in, so off to points unknown. The nice thing about vacationing up in the beautiful High Sierra mountains is that there are no wrong turns. Unless you are a total dipshit, you can’t getContinue reading “Vacation Day Three”
