My mother hated them like nobody’s business. If she saw one in the house, all activity immediately ceased until the intruder was vanquished. Snakes, no problem. Spiders, bugs? No problem. Flies? Big problem. Her hatred of the little buggers prompted her to promise me a bounty on the head of each of the little pestsContinue reading “Flies”

Making Magic
I was a good chef. Scratch that; I was a very good chef. Like all good chefs, I had my faults. I drank too much. I worked too hard. I ate the worst foods at the worst times. I had a short temper. I was tough on my staff. Although my talent and accumulated skillContinue reading “Making Magic”
Dusk
Our favorite time together. The day is exhausted and literally dying of thirst as the heat escapes the scorched earth and seeps skyward through the remaining stubborn streaks of grey. Yes, I have finally had time to cool down and really think about this. The logical thing (and I do fancy myself as a logicalContinue reading “Dusk”
The Week in Sports
England look like they are running in cement boots. I mean, in the Premier League, it is commonplace to see Harry Kane streaking through and past defensive schemes to launch yet another shot on goal. Why is Gareth Southampton sitting Marcus Rashford? Fresh young legs. Fast. Where is the pure #9 lethal striker whose onlyContinue reading “The Week in Sports”
Poetry
There are writers and there are poets. They are exclusive because not all writers are poets, and vice-versa. Why? As a writer, and a person with WAY too big of an ego, I fancy myself as both, so I will start adding a poem or two to my blog. Certainly not to compete with otherContinue reading “Poetry”
Tranquility
I awoke this morning, on the lanai for my usual wake and bake. It was dead silent; the powder blue mountain sky was replacing the night. I looked to my right and I could see five deer stepping gracefully through this peaceful little neighborhood. They were fearless and each beautiful animal stopped and locked eyesContinue reading “Tranquility”
AWOL (still)
We are still enjoying our time up in the Ponderosa Pines. We sent in our acceptance for an offer on our house yesterday. Someone is getting a great house and I hope they enjoy it as much as we have. I will resume posting for Monday tomorrow after we return home. Stay well.
AWOL
We are cooling off in Prescott so I will take off the next few days and resume with my musical post for Monday. I am now up to 99 followers so if you are the 100th, I will mail you a signed free copy of my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s. Please send meContinue reading “AWOL”

Closing in on 100
The experts in blogging know that I have done nothing right in constructing and marketing my blog. I suppose the main reason is I did not start out screaming for attention to have my words read by other people and I certainly had no concept of actually making money doing it. My personal blog planContinue reading “Closing in on 100”
