The audio book excerpt from my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! this week is for two short-short stories I included under the letter “E.” The first is called Perfect Fit and the other is titled Point of View. I recounted a story of THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME in aContinue reading “Embarrassing and Economical”

Swimming
Swimming is not only a great way to exercise but it could save your life. The year was 1960 and I remember going to the base swimming pool in Tachikawa, Japan. We had a little red patch we had sewn on our swimming trunks. This gave us access to swim from 10am to 8pm everyContinue reading “Swimming”
The Great Recess Caper of 1961
Original music Monday: Here is the 10th song I wrote. It is called Is it Love or is it Sin? Let me know…. Here is a short story I tried posting when I first started the blog back in November of last year.

The perfect stage. And what do I do? I had been partying with my cousins for hours. About 11:30pm, I leave the party to goContinue reading “Flight Risk”
Smoking Weed
Been doing it for over fifty years now. Contrary to what Osama bin Karen says, my pot smoking is not the cause of all the world’s problems. My lungs are remarkably strong and clear and I have not hocked our future to enjoy the sweet-smelling herb. I took my first “hit” at a concert inContinue reading “Smoking Weed”
