Today I want to talk about genes. No, not the blue ones with the rivets, the ones in your DNA. We’ll save the discussion about denim for another time…even though I think my genes make it hard for me to fit into my jeans…clever, eh. Back to science. According to my deep research into theContinue reading “Genetics”

Things are starting to open up and we are all getting to escape our pandemic prisons…just a little. I was raring to go and came running out of my bunker armed with my mask, rubber gloves and hand sanitizer. I’m ready to do battle. That vicious Covid-19 is still out there, ready to pounce andContinue reading “Pandemic Binging”

Like many people during this pandemic, I am now unemployed. Well, technically I’m retired. When I announced my retirement to my boss, he talked me into  coming back as a consultant. I have been doing that now for several years but that ended this past March with the onset of this dreaded plague. If youContinue reading “Career moves”

Gimme a head with hair, long, beautiful hair, Shinin’, gleamin’ Streamin’, flaxen, waxen Thank you to Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni, and James Rado for the title song from the 1960s musical “Hair.” I must confess I really love the Cowsills version of this diddy.

Before we start, give me your phone. I’m going to put some tape over the camera and mic. There, now we can talk. I was the guy who, at one time, could care less if someone was eavesdropping on my conversations or sneaking a peek at me through my window. If you saw me naked,Continue reading “I’m Not Paranoid, They Are Watching Me!”

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”

If you follow this blog (and we know who you are and we’re close to finding you) you know that I wanted to learn how to play an instrument. I finally did and I am now full of myself. Why stop at just playing music, why not create it? (Hey, I can hear you laughingContinue reading “Composing and De-composing”
