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”
No Picnic
As promised, my short story Mexican Vacation: Mexican Vacation Dave lay perfectly still on the cool adobe floor. He kept his eyes shut and listened to the infected rats shuffling across his cell. He could hear the screams of the former occupants of this six-by-six hell hole. In Spanish or English, it didn’t matter;Continue reading “No Picnic”
Does a Bear S*** in the Woods?
I think bears are so cool… From a distance. One of the scariest things I have ever seen on the internet was a story showing (supposedly) the last sight a person had who died right after. It showed an angry (of course it would have to be angry wouldn’t it dumbass?) bear ripping open aContinue reading “Does a Bear S*** in the Woods?”
Snippets
Colombia partially decriminalizes abortion. You know I am actually OK with that. IF the original law drawn up was made by women and voted on by women only. Men don’t have a stake in the game. Our own Supreme Court is a ridiculous example of men dictating legislation about women’s physiological processes. While all eyesContinue reading “Snippets”
Hoosiers
Not only one of the greatest sports stories ever made into film, but here come the Hoosiers of War. Ukraine. Whatever happens from this point on and I can only unfortunately think it will be terrible for the Ukrainians, they have shown that you don’t fuck around with their country. Except in the movie, theContinue reading “Hoosiers”
The Best Medicine
Laughter. I really love to watch a great comedian or comedienne do their thing. I truly believe being able to make people laugh is one of the greater gifts from above. I remember as a kid, the greats were Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Dick Van Dyke, and of course Lucy and Desi. Jack Benny, AbbottContinue reading “The Best Medicine”
When I am Over Everything II
I will eliminate suicide from our planet. I saw an absolutely sickening statistic that showed there were 67,000 people in the United States alone, who took their lives in 2020. I don’t know how to do it, but that’s just gotta stop. I will change the alcohol policy on the airlines, all of them. NoContinue reading “When I am Over Everything II”
At Last
I got the call. The manager of a popular restaurant in Miamisburg has booked me for March 30th. He called me to ask how I want my name listed on his banner. In Arizona I played out as Markus when I did solo gigs. “Maddogg” I told him. I will get over there in theContinue reading “At Last”
