Some guy told me it was true… When somebody starts  a sentence with those words, I immediately become very skeptical. This is the beginning of a story that has a good chance of being a conspiracy theory. Hey, I like a good conspiracy theory. For example, do you really believe Bobby Bones (can’t be hisContinue reading “Conspiracy Theories”

A few weeks ago, I thought my wife had a great project for me to do. She announced that she wanted to do a complete redo of the kitchen. Before she could finish, I was out of my chair in a flash and into the garage to assemble the tools and materials I needed toContinue reading “Remodeling Upheaval”

During this pandemic I have been quarantined at home, admiring the great Southern California weather outside and not being able to enjoy it. Damn, as usual, perfect. I’m being tortured by the outdoor gods. No picnics at the beaches. Unable to enjoy a glass of wine and live music at our favorite outdoor wine tastingContinue reading “Weather or Not”

I make a note to call my doctor in the morning and ask him about these meds, toContinue reading “The Cure For All Ills”

Writing blog posts can be fun but is it a challenge? What I write is cotton candy. What I should be doing is steak. Maybe I should take my shot at the great American novel. Do Tom Clancy’s or Clive Cussler’s books qualify? I do love Jack Ryan and Dirk Pitt (Dirk, now that isContinue reading “The Magical World of My Imagination”

I know it may be hard to believe but a conservative looking guy like me is deep down a Rock God. In my dreams, I look like a member of White Snake or Poison (1980’s hair bands) wearing my tight leather pants, prancing around the stage, wagging my tongue while tearing off a epic guitarContinue reading “Rock God”
