Or lack of. Whichever your tendency. Perspective . If you lack focus on something, aren’t you really saying you are simply focused on something else? I’m starting to make sense to myself, so I know I am stoned. Speaking of which, I will be making a trip to the dispensary later this morning. The weatherContinue reading “Focus”

Salmon
Yummy. And a chef’s dream. It has a mellow flavor, one that takes to almost any treatment or sauce. Nice color for plating. It is actually healthy for you before us chefs start putting our fatty, artery-clogging sauces and butters to it. One of my favorite things to do was to braid strips of differentContinue reading “Salmon”
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”
Masks
We all wear masks; it just depends on what kind of mask. To fight this pandemic, we all need to be wearing protective masks until the virus is contained and eliminated. But what about the mask under the mask? I’m talking about the fake smile mask worn by disingenuous people. The wan smile frozen onContinue reading “Masks”
Keeping Warm
When I first started posting my blog, I made a few mistakes. This was posted originally (mistakenly) on 2/28: I’m hot. No brag. Just fact. I’m one of those people who others want to cuddle up to in bed because I am better than an electric blanket. I am also one of the people thatContinue reading “Keeping Warm”
Junk Mail
Stop sending it to me. There, that should do it. Now that we are retired, that’s all we get. Now, Karen and I have been more than generous with our money when it comes to donations and charity. We have been active in several animal organizations and United Way. We also have charities we donateContinue reading “Junk Mail”
The End
The end is not near, it’s already here. We all have thoughts on how the world may end someday. Disease, war, pick your poison. There are so many movies depicting different ways the planet will be destroyed, and it seems like as many movies as there are, so are the different demises depicted. Flood, hurricanes,Continue reading “The End”
No More Tomorrows
The title of this weeks’ original song was actually a collaboration between my brother Ed and I. Ed had the melody bouncing around his gourd and had started on the lyrics. I basically finished the melody and added a chorus. We finished the lyrics together over a bottle of Stolichnaya and some Marin County Greenbud.Continue reading “No More Tomorrows”
What the World Needs Now
I know, I know; I’m supposed to say Love Sweet Love, and that is something we always need, but I don’t think it is what the world needs right now. In the words of badass rocker Bob Seger Turn the Page. I was taught by my parents to accept losses gracefully; to acknowledge that youContinue reading “What the World Needs Now”
Collecting Things
I was quite the collector in my youth. It all started with my marble collection at age five. I kept that valuable assortment of cateyes, steelies, and bumblebees of all sizes for years. I was really good and if you were good enough, you could win ALL the marbles the kids had in the neighborhood.Continue reading “Collecting Things”
