A question for the ages… To the person who says that “you can have too much of a good thing,” I say they obviously weren’t living alongside me in Las Vegas in the eighties. Too much money? Right. I have no animosity or envy of rich people. I want them to succeed the same asContinue reading “How Much is Too Much?”

Jolly Old
I retain fond memories of my time in Europe, particularly in the midlands of England, outside the city of Oxford. Housing for military at the small ex-RAF base Upper Heyford was at a premium, and my mom always insisted we did NOT live in base housing, rather, she preferred us to encounter our new hostContinue reading “Jolly Old”

Freedom of Speech
The first amendment and all that. I have been banned from Facebook because of a story I previously published here on this blog. It was excerpted from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Talk about small-minded. I tried to explain to the “Appeal Board” that my words were a creative work of fiction, butContinue reading “Freedom of Speech”
Maybe It’s Time
As of today, we have had forty-five presidents lead our country. Zero women have held that office, and the failed campaign of Hillary Clinton saved us all from just another one of the good ‘ole boys dressed in a Brooks Brothers power suit. In our zeal to show a fake sense of inclusion, we actuallyContinue reading “Maybe It’s Time”
A Little Something Extra
I was involved in one position or another in restaurants in my journey. Part of that journey was as a tipped employee. I loved that position better than any I held afterwards, even after I ascended to the Executive Chef position in a starred French restaurant. Why? I was single and working in a majorContinue reading “A Little Something Extra”
What Did I Miss?
I just caught a glimpse of a picture of Nancy Pelosi and I love it because she always looks like she just set the doobie down and waved the smoke away with her hands, and then turned towards the camera. I really do like the salty bird, though. I like anybody who’s not afraid toContinue reading “What Did I Miss?”
Over the Top
Don’t get me started about people who do not tip employees who perform a service for them. Now, if you just stopped there, we would just look at you, roll our eyes, and think what a cheap asshole. But no. It’s when you try and justify your moral ascendancy, in the rarified air ABOVE mortalContinue reading “Over the Top”
Where Did it Go?
It was here just a minute ago. My memory. Despite my wife’s inaccurate recollections, I am just now starting to notice small signs that my once precise eidetic memory is slipping. There are TWO THINGS that I always remember. Always have and always will. Who I owe money to and who owes me money. 100%Continue reading “Where Did it Go?”
Love/Hate
I used to love it when the first SweetTart out of the roll was a cherry one. I hated moving from country to country as an Air Force family, but I really loved meeting and exchanging with new peoples and cultures. I love dogs, but hated it when I had to undergo a very painfulContinue reading “Love/Hate”
