Worlds Apart

As the rise of antisemitism spreads throughout The Greatest Country on Earth (pardon me while I have a good belly laugh), our progress as a civilization appears to have hit one of the buried Ukrainian landmines (Hey remember that war? It’s still going on!). We are in a downward spiral, and it is not hardContinue reading “Worlds Apart”

The Princess of Las Vegas

In my tumultuous wild ride in Sin City, a brief, but colorful segment was occupied working as a waiter in a high-end casino restaurant on the world-famous Strip. Talk about characters. Comps were everywhere, as I am sure they are today. (author’s note: I have not been back to Vegas since I left in 1981)Continue reading “The Princess of Las Vegas”

Either Or

Either through a cloudy drug haze, revenge, or infatuation, I was able to experience the trappings of the lifestyle of the mega-wealthy in my youth. Of course none of this happened because the Domestic Despot will tell you, without blinking, that there was no one else before she appeared in my life. So in theContinue reading “Either Or”

What’s Next?

Artificial Intelligence. Although if you queried the Domestic Despot, she would offer that she has been living with artificial intelligence since we moved in together into a tiny studio apartment in the foothills of Santa Barbara in 1986. What I want to know is why, all of a sudden, are we inundated with idiot politiciansContinue reading “What’s Next?”

Bewitched

It is the only explanation I have for it. It was a cool morning in the San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff and south of the Grand Canyon, and I was headed to the white Aspen trees where I planned to camp for a few days and eat some pharmaceutical LSD. My unpaid assistant, theContinue reading “Bewitched”

A Teaser

In my taking-me-forever first novel If Only…I share my view of our nation with women the dominant gender in the world. And so for my wife, the Domestic Despot who thinks I’m just sitting here at my desk getting stoned all day, here is what I have so far: The Red Manse 0600 hrs.          Continue reading “A Teaser”

Grey Divorce

I had no idea what that even was until some family members we have are going through issues after forty years. Forty years. I don’t have a clue about the new ways of going about getting married, as I was one of those saps that did the whole “struck by a thunderbolt” thing when IContinue reading “Grey Divorce”

Riddle Me This

Is Elon Musk the biggest douchebag on planet Earth? I mean, he’s either this brilliant business icon/madman capable of great invention, or the biggest douchebag on planet Earth. There is no middle ground. But hey, this is America. Why can’t he be both? Since this Cavalcante fellow has eluded the Keystone Cops, er I meanContinue reading “Riddle Me This”

Just Another Day

of infamy. When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his, what has come to be known as the “day of infamy” speech,” he was alluding to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base on Sunday, December 7, 1941 by the Empire of Japan. But unfortunately, it is not the only date which is infamous inContinue reading “Just Another Day”

Blind Drunk

The clickbait story was Scientists Shatter Long-held Belief About Drinking Alcohol. So of course, I clicked on it. What a load. They come up with some really stupid conclusions that make me think exactly who was the test population? In my early twenties, I really thought I was something. I would NEVER sleep with anythingContinue reading “Blind Drunk”
