After much chagrin and frustration, I have finally convinced Domestic Despot Osama bin KAREN to let me put together a mid-week trip up in the High Sierras of California and then over to the coast for a stop at my big brother Ed’s in Ventura for a few days. I have fond memories of Ventura,Continue reading “Road Trip”

Selling the House Day 1
We interviewed two realtors today. The first young woman we spoke with is going to be tough to beat. She was smart, efficient and ready for any questions of which I had several. Now I knew the housing market was strong, but to say the current climate is beneficial for sellers is the understatement ofContinue reading “Selling the House Day 1”
What’s News?
Who do you trust for your news? In days gone by, you had paragons of integrity reporting the facts, without coloring or filtering it. Brinkley, Cronkite, Reasoner, Jennings, and you must insert Barbara Walters in that group. At least her earlier reporting before she started making mini-movies for 60 Minutes and then her own specials.Continue reading “What’s News?”
Thank You
The first passage in the book Humanity: A Primer. I just made that title up; don’t search for it. Unless there really is a book called that, in which case my apologies. But saying “thank you” (in my way of thinking), is a minimum for membership into the human race. Dankie, Faleminderit, Shukran, Chnorakaloutioun, Hvala,Continue reading “Thank You”
I Did it Again!
As you can see, I double posted yesterday’s (today’s) blogpost. What a dumbass. Not only that, I did not include this week’s audio reading of my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s. Under the letter “H” we arrive at the emotion honest. The name of the short story is Restraint. Let me know.
Sportsmanship
I’m a bad loser. I know I am. I’m a little baby about it. I pout, whine, search for blame to assign, and otherwise am just an asshole when I lose. Now let me clarify. If I am in a race and there are three runners, I have to at least finish second to notContinue reading “Sportsmanship”
They Don’t Teach This in a Book
I learned early. I am six years-old on the back of my brother’s Honda Cub and we are winding through narrow Japanese dirt streets lined with vendors of all types: Household goods. Meat. Fish. Electronics (such as they were in 1960 Japan). Restaurants. Brothels. Yep, right there next to the tent that was selling frozenContinue reading “They Don’t Teach This in a Book”
Royalty
Dukes, Duchesses, even Viscounts (whatever those are) all qualify as royalty. Lebron James doesn’t. The concepts we are taught when we are growing up like Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, and Knights, Lords, and Ladies, are all tres romantique, no? Crowns, castles, swords, man those looked like some pretty trippy times with a lotContinue reading “Royalty”
Karaoke
I LOVE karaoke. Anyone can sing because everybody can sing. Except Karen. I love this woman, worship the very ground she walks on, but she couldn’t sing if she could sing. That bad. Karaoke is fun, a good value requiring minimal marketing expense, and offers a good return if it is done right. There’s myContinue reading “Karaoke”
Play 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 “Play Like a Girl”
