Summer Sports Report

As we put Independence Day in the rear-view mirror and power through summer, let’s see where we are in the sports world. Football I already covered the disappointing European Championship final, and I can’t wait for the start of the Premier League on August 14th. I was very happy to see the tears of elationContinue reading “Summer Sports Report”

Mice

Reposted from June 3: I talk about the craziest shit, don’t I? I kid you not. The dirty disease-laden rodents scare the hell out of me. I don’t care how small the little bastards are, I don’t want to touch them. I have been fortunate not to have had to grown up with mice runningContinue reading “Mice”

Ooh La La!

This is a repost of this blog from 5/17/21. I was going through my “stats” and evidently my mad computer skillz have once-again hindered my efforts. I will be reposting the others as needed. As a songwriter and an author, I have occasion to cross over. I love listening to, and playing the “story” songsContinue reading “Ooh La La!”

Put Me in Coach

Ah, John Fogerty singing Centerfield. You know, I have been out of commission for the better part of a month now with my knee injury finally nearing the last stages of sealing and healing. It feels like I am always saying that. As we ready for our trip East, I feel like I will beContinue reading “Put Me in Coach”

Do Not Feed the Aliens

I will not sit here and tell you we are not alone in the universe. I don’t know. My best guess is we are not. I mean we are but a little speck of a speck in the big scheme of things so why is it not possible similar conditions to what exist on ourContinue reading “Do Not Feed the Aliens”

The Week in Sports

England look like they are running in cement boots. I mean, in the Premier League, it is commonplace to see Harry Kane streaking through and past defensive schemes to launch yet another shot on goal. Why is Gareth Southampton sitting Marcus Rashford? Fresh young legs. Fast. Where is the pure #9 lethal striker whose onlyContinue reading “The Week in Sports”

Can You Believe it?

She was one crazy bitch and I was nuttier than Cooder Brown. Oil and water. She was the very worst type of woman for me: a woman with a voice that insisted on using it and could not and would not, be ignored. I won’t be ignored, Dan! I like to think of her asContinue reading “Can You Believe it?”

Hit Like a Girl

A few years back, I can’t recall exactly who, but one of the major golf companies had an ad campaign featuring the great Annika Sorenstam (or it could have been Michelle Wie), both amazing athletes, and the gist of the commercials was the concept in sports “play like a girl.” Now, when I was growingContinue reading “Hit Like a Girl”

Prologue

Firstly, my audio reading of my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s!: Secondly, check out the prologue of my novel If Only. You’ll be amused and surprised at how the planet would look like If Only… The Earth was still an embryo. Ah stirred awake in the morning mist which had begun to creep intoContinue reading “Prologue”

Swimsuits

I did it again. I got stoned and posted the wrong blog yesterday with a song that I play, so here is another one from The New Riders. You are wearing your original swimsuit as you are reading this blog. That’s right. No suit. Au natural. Your first opportunity to swim is sometimes by necessity,Continue reading “Swimsuits”
