A Christmas blog

  Stay with me, I’ll get there. I have many good friends, and for the sake of this story  I’ll use Bruce.  Say I’m out in public, and I see my friend Bruce walking along. I haven’t seen him lately, and he doesn’t immediately spot me, so I do the normal thing most other people do in [...]

Ugly politics

Well boys and girls, fall is here again, and the leaves are falling from the trees, along with so many political nuts. The silly season is in full swing for the negative campaign ads, and we are filling the airwaves and littering the landscape like road apples after a circus parade. The only difference is [...]

A challenge post

My friend Corina posted a writing challenge that got my juices flowing, so here it is.
She came across a freecycle ad for a dress and suggested we write a short story around it.
 “I am giving away my wedding dress. It is a size 3 or 5. I couldn’t find a size tag on it. It has [...]

Hmm

 I may have ran into some small setbacks in my quest for the cabinet positions.
  It would seem that the suited dudes that talk into their lapels frown on unannounced visitation at the house. They do not take kindly when folks pull up in the driveway and blow the horn. It is a southern tradition [...]

For the record

 I would like to publically state that all of my taxes, income and property, are all current. I have also never had in  my employ any house servants or gardeners of questionable citizenship, so no international scandals or payroll issues either.
 
  I have had some minor skirmishes with the law, but they were years ago, [...]

Well, the big game is over.

 I am a little disappointed, I like the Steelers, but I wanted Arizona to win. Let me explain: Pitts has been to the superbowl several times, and won, they were favored, and the perennial favorite.
Arizona is new to the game, and the underdog, they had something to prove, while Pitts really didn’t.
Another reason is that [...]

No title, really.

Once, I might have cared, or even dared
I’ve taken words from in my head, and placed them here to be read
I’ve shared of joys and of my pains, but now it seems the interest wanes
So raise a glass and make a toast, for I think we’ve shared my last post.

Things to come ?

Most of us know already that the “Big three” automakers are in a bind, and have been for a while. But Toyota has been cruising along selling lots of vehicles, even catching and surpassing GM last year. An unfortunate barometer of things to come may be indicated by recent events in the land of the [...]

The Redeye Gravy

  Several years ago a bunch of us took a motorcycle tour through the mountains of NC,Tenn, and KY. One of the guys on the ride owned some property with a cabin on it just outside of Johnson City Tenn., this was a central location for our rides for a few days. We tried to [...]

A Follow up on my Shakespeare post

  Way back in the day, when we all still lived across the big pond, and by that I mean a LOOOONG time ago. Just for reference, this was before Starbucks- or B.S. for short. So, in the pre- dawn Cappuchino-Latte’ian era there lived this gentleman(I use the term loosely as I really didn’t know [...]
