I have decided to tackle a very controversial subject and I promise not to hold back. It is a subject that has people on all sides upset, screaming and ready to fight. I know no one wants to face the fact they may be wrong with their position but I don’t care. I’m here toContinue reading “My Top Ten Rock Songs”

Hi, I’m at the gas station. I want you to meet my friend Bruce, the paramedic who was called to revive me after I saw today’s gas price. In an effort to make me feel better, Bruce assured me that gas still costs less than having a kidney transplant, but not much. As I wasContinue reading “Where’s My Flying Car?”

Once or twice a week I use this blog as an outlet for my bad jokes and twisted humor. Considering what happened in Uvalde, Texas this week and in Buffalo, New York a couple of weeks ago, I am left speechless. How can the greatest country in the world continue to let this happen. ItContinue reading “Nothing To Say”

In my nearly 7 decades on this planet, there has been one constant in my life, Ron Howard. Kind of like a McDonalds at every exit on the interstate. You’re not looking for them but they are always there…and damn if you don’t stop to get some chicken nuggets and a large diet coke. TheContinue reading “Always Ron Howard”

I acknowledge that climate change is real, I weigh too much, my health is important and I want to dress great when I go out. Hey, the packaging needs to be as good looking as the contents. As soon as my wife stops laughing, I’ll continue. Everyday I have been told that we need toContinue reading “Why Is It So Expensive To Be Good”

Something funny popped up on my calendar a couple of days ago. It was an appointment reminder for an endodontist for a root canal I had a year ago. What was funny? I had that same tooth pulled almost a year to the day after that root canal. Does irony bite or what? Had toContinue reading “Biting Off More Than I Could Chew”

It is the day after Easter and no matter how much I said I wouldn’t dip into the Easter candy, I did. I am embarrassed and in a sugar coma, so my mind is not working correctly at this time. As a result, I am having a hard time focusing on a single issue. JustContinue reading “Here, There and Everywhere”

You know what’s wrong with this country? Wait, that was only a hypothetical question. Who yelled out “The designated hitter?” Geez, it’s a lot worse than I thought. What I was talking about is the terrible gridlock in Washington D.C. and how nothing seems to get done. I admit that is not a new problemContinue reading “Stating the Obvious”

I would like to apologize for being absent from this space for a while. I do have a good reason, I think. I was called for jury duty and I was placed in a jury pool with hundreds of other people for a very important trial. The reason I said I may have a goodContinue reading “Law and Order”

Time for a confession. Many times men don’t go to see doctors because they are macho and feel they can work through any pain their body can throw at them, that is until it becomes real pain. My excuse for not seeing the doctor often enough is because I hate bad news. I watch tooContinue reading “Remarkably Unremarkable”
