There are people in this world who amaze me. They are either fearless, endlessly talented, or just plain stupid. They accomplish feats of which that I can only dream of. It is just not feats like skydiving. By the way, why jump out of a plane operating at peak efficiency…just for fun. It baffles me.Continue reading “Yea, You Go Ahead”

There has been a lot of news about laws, thanks to one individual who seems to break another law every time he opens his mouth. It got me thinking about how our lives are controlled by laws. Not just laws created by our elected bodies, which obviously don’t apply to members of those esteemed bodies,Continue reading “Lawless”

Memorial Day weekend is coming up and I’m breaking out every piece of white clothing I own and going to start wearing it on the holiday Monday. Get those sunglasses ready. I’ll be blinding. Once I’m appropriately dressed for the official start of summer, it’s time to start making those summer travel plans. Admit it,Continue reading “Best Laid Plans…”

I’m not one to believe in mumbo, jumbo stuff like spells, visions or curses but I think I may be changing my tune. I may be cursed. As you gasp, head to your fainting couch and clutch your pearls in disbelief, I think it may be true. I know your first thought is that sinceContinue reading “Living With A Curse”

When I heard that someone had developed Artificial Intelligence (AI), I ran to my closet and hid. I feared that someone discovered that the intelligence I claim to have is fake. After a few hours, my wife finally retrieved me from the small, claustrophobic sanctuary I was hiding in, (she was really enjoying the quiet)Continue reading “Artificial Inteligence”

I’m a real fan of all the procedural shows on the networks. Shows like the three different NCIS franchises, CSI (you name the city), the Law and Orders and the FBI Trilogy. Even though I’m a fan, I’m also not an idiot. All these shows follow the same formula and just substitute the letters inContinue reading “CHD, County Health Department”

If you haven’t heard, we out here in California have had a bit of rain this winter. We have set records for cloudy days, snowy days in the mountains, rainy days, days with record low temperatures, number of days with frost and number of days of locals complaining that they can’t go sunbathing on theContinue reading “Wow Man…Pot Holes”

I think I need to take a break from the deeply serious subjects that I have been writing about, to concentrate on even more serious subjects, sports. I’m a sports guy. I’m one of those frustrated athletes who couldn’t perform at a high enough level at any sport to go pro, so I have spentContinue reading “Sporting the Sports”

I was in the middle of writing my latest article when I ran into a problem, spelling. I was never a very good speller. My brain was too full of baseball and football statistics, so it did not have enough room for simple things like the proper spelling of the word capital…or did I meanContinue reading “Spelling Bee, or B, or Bea”

Keeping busy and out of trouble can be a challenge for everybody. Since I’ve retired I’ve been able to keep myself occupied by joining a senior softball league, golfing with my old friends (and I mean old, I think they use their golf clubs more like canes than clubs) and sharing my wisdom through theseContinue reading “A Puzzling Dilemma”
