But it’s freezing in your heart. To quote a great songwriter (me). We got about eight inches of snow in the last 24 hours and its still coming down at noon EST. My two doggies, Arizona weather-weenies, are none too pleased. So, I’m checking out the news which I have not visited in some timeContinue reading “Baby its Cold Outside…”

Glory United!
Of course I had to lead off with that. Manchester United 2 Manchester City 1. With as much crap I tend to pile on the squad for a lack of fire in their play, it seems that new manager Ruben Amorim has lit a fire under the lads. I was one who pointed out theContinue reading “Glory United!”
Wingman
Everybody needs one. Maverick had Iceman and my high school wingman (at least in ninth grade anyway) was a girl actually, named Molly Fletcher. We both lived in government housing on the US Air Force base Upper Heyford about seventy miles from London. Her father worked as some sort of “defense consultant” and my stepfatherContinue reading “Wingman”
Spanking Your Children
I know, I know. A lot of people bow up and get all froggy when they hear the “s” word, but truth be told (which I will do on occasion), there are some kids that could use a little extra somethin’-somethin’ when it comes to their discipline routine. And everyone knows who they are. GoContinue reading “Spanking Your Children”
Mere Observations
So the machinists at Boeing are continuing their walkout, demanding a new contract. Their planes are falling apart and dropping out of the sky on a daily basis, so why not reward them with more money? I’ll take the train, thanks. September home sales were highest in years, but how is anyone able to buyContinue reading “Mere Observations”
When You Know, You Know
That will only make sense to all my fellow hopeless romantics who check out this blog. My very first glance was all it took. I had grown up hearing the old “love at first sight” explanation to the unique chemistry that is love, but really had no frame of reference. I didn’t really fully believeContinue reading “When You Know, You Know”
One Speed
That’s all you should have. To quote the late great Gene Wilder from 1980’s Stir Crazy, balls out. Off or balls out. For everything. You only get one chance to live each and every moment of your time on this planet in this sphere of existence. Then you die. So don’t dial it in. IContinue reading “One Speed”
It’s Getting Close
Pretty soon, bye-bye political ads. At the least the half-truths and downright lies being espoused by both parties’ candidates. Then we can go about putting our fingers in our ears and sing “la!la!la!” as we listen to their half-truths and downright lies when they take office and ask us to believe them one more time.Continue reading “It’s Getting Close”
One Summer in Japan
Or just, the neighborhood, which is what we knew it as. We were living on Showa Air Force Base in the early sixties and this shorty is about our neighborhood there. Everybody knew everyone who lived in the neighborhood and recognized everyone’s’ kids on the street and outside playing in groups. Remember that? Playing outside?Continue reading “One Summer in Japan”
Just Talk to Me
Have you ever tried getting someone on the phone for say, any reason whatsoever, only to drown in a sea of avoidance? And that is only if you are actually able to speak with a person and not another electronic bot. I used to love customer service as part of my job as a FinanceContinue reading “Just Talk to Me”
