For a myriad of reasons I only ever had to pay rent for a few months out of my life. Even when I had a bachelor pad, I rarely spent any time there. I hear of people struggling to pay off someone else’s mortgage every month. I am not saying I don’t feel sorry forContinue reading “Rent”

Game Day
The time when players step up and perform their best. In high school I practiced hard, maybe not maniac-hard like some of the monsters on the team, but I showed up good enough to keep my backup role intact. Until I pulled my hamstring and Achilles making a tackle. That took me off the rosterContinue reading “Game Day”
Guns
I was never a big shoot-em-up guy and only carried a gun when I was either blitzed out of my mind on alcohol and drugs (of course the best times to carry a gun), or when I was blitzed out of my mind on alcohol and drugs and wanted to go on a wild rideContinue reading “Guns”
Independence Day
We waited all year for it and here we are. The day that we celebrate, as a nation, our independence from tyranny, oppression, and ignorance. I would say we’re at two-for-three so far. July 4th used to mean hamburgers, hot dogs, and homemade ice cream. And fireworks. Now, it has changed to Wimbledon tennis, golf,Continue reading “Independence Day”
Four Letters for Ted Cruz
My wife of 35 years uses them all the time to me. STFU When you are paid a salary to serve the people of your state, it is meant for more pressing things than complaining to Sesame Street for vaccinating children on their show. Covid is still rampaging through your state, inflation is causing evenContinue reading ” Four Letters for Ted Cruz”
WTF?
As soulmate to a strong woman, I am deeply offended at anything that offends her. To characterize the recent overturn of Roe v Wade as offensive is offensive to the word offensive. (see what I did there?) You can make lists ‘til the cows come home, but I just want the names of all ofContinue reading “WTF?”
Connecting
Sometimes, when you least expect it, something happens in your life that takes you aback. It infuses you with a totally new and different perspective. I had one of those moments at breakfast yesterday morning. Truth be told, I was feeling a little down on myself for hurting so much even though I have reallyContinue reading “Connecting”
Smiling Faces
I was pleased at the size and exuberance of the crowd at my 2pm show today at the Kingston Nursing Home. It was a cool retreat from the crazy humid-heat we are experiencing and I arrived early to set up. With the help of Dan the Therapy Man, who helped me set up and loadContinue reading “Smiling Faces”
Go Quietly Into the Night
Bullshit. With maybe the lone exception being an escape from murderous pain over which you have no control. Otherwise, you don’t go anywhere quietly. You fight with every single ounce of energy that you can muster, and you are not out (or gone) until you have given your all. This life is far too beautiful,Continue reading “Go Quietly Into the Night”
Miracles
You either believe in them or you don’t. I believe in them. There some clinical people who need a scientific explanation for everything. They must quantify everything they see. I don’t get it. There does NOT have to be a reason for something. I am definitely not proposing that we just throw our hands upContinue reading “Miracles”
