I think babies are the coolest. All species, it doesn’t matter. Small little friends arriving by the second on this planet and I wish I could protect ALL of them. I was surprised to hear that the only species whose offspring will die without any assistance is the human baby. And we dominate this planet?Continue reading “Babies”

The next big thing, since it appears we are in the embryonic stages of addressing and getting a handle on the Covid-19 virus, is getting back to “the new normal.” Why? Do you remember what the “normal” was when the virus appeared in January? Think back: The opening of the first nuclear plant in theContinue reading “Careful What You Ask For”

As a self-professed Anglophile, I always take a moment on the day after Christmas to celebrate Boxing Day. This holiday is almost two-hundred years old and was established to provide gifts to the poor. No cooler reason than that to have a holiday, right? Wherever we travelled overseas, at my mother’s insistence, we did NOTContinue reading “Boxing Day”

Who doesn’t like a good revenge movie? The first big one I recall was Death Wish with Charles Bronson. He had a great run with the Paul Kersey character, more than getting even with wave after wave of evildoers in various cities. And he was not just getting even, he was devastating anyone who hadContinue reading “Revenge”

Whether or not you were raised in a household where religion played a big part of your life or not, with SO many people on the planet showing faith in differing deities, why so vast a spectrum of faith (belief)? The concept in an all-powerful entity controlling, or at least affecting, things on Earth, seemsContinue reading “The Existence of God?”

Acting, aka “make-believe,” is easy, right? Anyone can do it. When you think about it, EVERYONE is an actor in this one-act play we call life. Not so fast… My own flirtation with this art form came when I took an acting class at UCSB in the summer of 1985. After weeks of study, recitation,Continue reading “Acting”

          OK, the election is over despite the tantrums still being thrown by the Petulant One. When the smoke cleared, the recount insisted upon actually increased the lead Biden’s team won by. Careful what you ask for. So where does that leave us with The Wall? One of the focal points of Trump’s election inContinue reading “The Wall”

I despise ugly people. You see them every day in every walk of life. They are the ones that give a little too long of a look at the interacial couple walking down the street, that see nothing wrong with this country that cannot be fixed with a good ass-whipping given to somebody, anybody, whoContinue reading “Ugly people”

The Great Recess Caper of 1961             A seven-year-old growing up on a U.S. military base in Japan, I was full of all of the typical questions that run through a typical seven-year-old’s mind. Like “what if me and my buddy Stevie could devise a plan to get all of our classmates’ valuables: gum, candy,Continue reading “Master Plan”

One of the best things I like about this blogging thing is that, as long as I don’t misspell anything and look like a dumb shit, I can pretty much write about anything I want. I worked in industries that required the constant exercise of customer service skills at all levels and there are thoseContinue reading “Above and Beyond”
