That’s Right! (And much, much more…)
More than 40 years ago, when I was bucking the odds and trying to break into radio, I’d been in touch with a radio station in Palm Springs. The man who would eventually hire me and give me the opportunity … Continue reading

I Gotta Come Clean
I can’t carry this guilt any longer. Sleepless nights and this gnawing in the back of my mind are becoming unbearable. I realize only one of us is truly authorized to do this, but I ask you, my dear extended … Continue reading

An Old Saying
There’s an old saying that goes… That’s how they’re usually referenced. I feel safe in saying that most of us have a favorite saying or two. Their origins can date back centuries or, in these days of the meme, they … Continue reading

Taking Notes
I realize that, as the months speed by like days, some of my faculties are becoming… diminished? Is that the correct word? Diminished? Downgraded? Lessened? Reduced? Perhaps so-far-gone-it’s-as-if-they-never-existed would be a better choice. Perhaps many of us who are of … Continue reading
Perhaps it Wasn’t as Good as I Thought
I can make a few meals. And some of them are pretty good. For the most part, I can follow a recipe; though I’ve been accused of being somewhat relaxed in my adherence to the listed measurements. To me, they’re … Continue reading
The Hardest Job I Ever Had
If I can dust off the cobwebs from inside my cranium, I can almost remember my first job back when I was 15-years-old. My father orchestrated the whole thing. It was a simple, part-time job on Saturday and Sunday mornings. … Continue reading

Use Only As Directed
In my early radio days, many (many, many, many) years ago, our AM station changed formats to TalkRadio. Since I was Program Director, I was invited to join the TalkRadio Affiliates Board. We were supposedly

It Already Hurts
I recently attended my high school reunion. Looking back over the decades, I became aware of how different life was then. The differences in my priorities between then and now were quite striking. Back then our topic of conversation, for … Continue reading
Things I’ve Said
With the arrival of my second granddaughter, I find myself thinking that, perhaps, I shouldn’t be allowed to be a grandparent. Of course, this doesn’t mean I don’t want to be a grandparent. Again. Because being a grandparent is the … Continue reading
Crappy Poetry
My roommate is a university student. She’s an English Major with a Creative Writing Minor. One of her classes this quarter was Poetry, and a recent assignment was to write ten titles that you couldn’t imagine could be turned into … Continue reading
Nearly the Best Morning of My Life
For six decades I lived my life as one in which the bad times overshadowed the good. But now, reclining in the overstuffed warmth of a more gentle and accepting perspective, I like to allow what’s left of my mind … Continue reading
My Mother’s Words
The older I get, the more my mother’s admonitions and/or words of advice—to my younger self—seem to come back to me. Some I remember with a gentle smile while others reverberate through my skull as if I were standing under … Continue reading
Instant Karma Came to Get Me
This event takes place in the previous millennium. It was back in my early “radio days.” Back then, I lived in the Coachella Valley, which is well-known for its beautiful winter weather. One week each January, the Bob Hope Desert … Continue reading
Intellectual Brilliance
