Believe me later. My paean to Hanz and Franz and the Saturday Night Live’s fiftieth anniversary. I’m not one of those old fuddy-duddies who dwell in the past and say that the first few seasons of SNL had the best and funniest ensemble casts ever (although they did). I mean, there have been funny peopleContinue reading “Hear Me Now”

Stealing
There are all sorts of crimes and taking something that is not yours is the absolute lowest. I have more respect for a murderer than a thief. Now before you get all puffed up and froggy, I recognize the difference between ill-gotten gain and a necessity to survive for those desperate enough to try andContinue reading “Stealing”
Magic
I am amazed at magicians and their antics, I admit. I will also add that doing drugs while watching magic enhances the experience (if ever there was a redundant statement). Do you remember Doug Henning, the cool young magician dude from the eighties? How about David Copperfield? I once “accidentally” took a double dose ofContinue reading “Magic”
Fork it Over
I have no earthly idea what that means in the figurative sense, but according to my life companion for the last forty years, I don’t have a clue about anything anyway. I can see “hand it over” and even the incorrect “give it over” which are the instructions the Domestic Despot gives to our doggiesContinue reading “Fork it Over”
Comeback Player of the Year
The pity party is over. I’m back for good this time. I got so down with being first hospitalized, and then confined to home nursing care and IV antibiotics for the last few months that I started getting the worst thoughts going through my head. Things like is this how it ends for me? SomeContinue reading “Comeback Player of the Year”
Never Too Late
Well, I did it again. Despite my assertions, I have gone and got myself involved with another musical situation. After our band Sedona broke up I said (for the 20th time) that I was through with bands. But duets are different. Fast, EFFICIENT practices. So, this young dude who has been helping me out withContinue reading “Never Too Late”
Happenings
They are putting up a two-billion dollar amusement park amid all the hustle and bustle of northeast Oklahoma, just off Route 66. Over by that old steer skull. Talk about setting yourself up for failure. Imagine jumping on a plane, exotic locales and lush tropical gardens dancing through your head as you lay back toContinue reading “Happenings”
News Bites
I am suffering an embarrassment of riches in the political arena and its cast of characters. I will say, however, it was refreshing to see, after a year of denying any direct involvement, that the USA is not “part of” the Ukrainian-Russian war, that Jojo finally came out and pledged US support “as long asContinue reading “News Bites”
Better Late?
If you call me up and don’t start speaking within the first five seconds, my ass is gonna hang up on your ass and I will block your number for all-time. Pet peeve? Probably more like a foible. Although I am actually avoiding the Old Man Syndrome where everything irritates you, and that is probablyContinue reading “Better Late?”
New Year’s Revolutions
Everybody makes them every year and every year we break our resolve and return to the behavior we wish to eliminate from our lives. I never break a New Year’s resolution. Never. Because I don’t make any. I don’t think I ever got drunk enough to make a resolution to stop drinking. There was thisContinue reading “New Year’s Revolutions”
