Amazing Coincidences!
It’s often curious to me how people can manage to find a coincidence whenever they need one. Instead of just following their heart and doing what they want to do on its own merit—for no other reason that it makes … Continue reading

Tossing Grenades
I was born nine years after the end of WWII; immediately following the Korean War. Being of the post-war “Boomer” generation, many of the toys I had during my formative years were war toys. True, we also had cowboy pistols … Continue reading

The Worst Day of My Life
It was a day like any other. There wasn’t anything unique about it. It was so nondescript, in fact, that I recall nothing else about the day except that moment. Of course, everything else in my life pales in comparison … Continue reading
Dreaming my Life Lesson
Horrible. That’s the word for it. Horrible. It was the most horrible dream I’d ever had. I woke up in a cold sweat. I believe I was actually shuddering with fear. What I saw or, more accurately, what I heard … Continue reading

My Misfortune with Cookies
What’s the deal with fortune cookies?! They’re not even fortunes anymore. You used to open them up and they’d tell you that you were going to be a millionaire or famous or something. They never came true; even if you … Continue reading
Temper… Temper…
I hate it! I really do! I am so frustrated at my lack of progress in my life. I realize that there is only one path—that being the one towards self-realization and Heaven—so I know I’m on the path, but … Continue reading

Keeping My Cool (?)
I try to maintain my temper… to “keep my cool,” as it were. And I’ve gotten much better at it as I’ve mellowed into old age. Perhaps mellowed and old age are not an accurate description of the process. It … Continue reading

Not Quite Fifty Shades
I’ve been writing my blog and publishing books. I really enjoy it; conceivably more than anything I’ve ever done, with the possible exception of playing Little League Baseball. For the most part, they’re stories about my life, the people I … Continue reading
You Da Man!
It’s the growing popularity of golf which drove me away from it. That, and idiots. I was recently watching the Masters Golf Tournament on television. It’s been quite a while since I played the game with any seriousness, and I … Continue reading

The Day I Peed My Pants
I was in sixth grade. Wait. I didn’t really pee my pants. Let me begin with that. But of all the times in my earlier days, when I peed my pants and nobody noticed, why did the time I didn’t … Continue reading
I’ve Always Had Trouble Keeping My Mouth Shut
Quite often my inability to keep my mouth shut creates dire consequences. Well, maybe not dire… But not good. Sometimes my big mouth operates to the disadvantage of others and often it’s to my own detriment. Recently someone asked me … Continue reading
Recalling the Places I’ve Done It
As I recall the many places I’ve done it, I have to fight the urge to do it right now. I’ve done it quite often in the afternoon. For me, afternoons are the best time but I’ve also done it … Continue reading

More Than I Need to Know
At one time, my youngest, Cameron, and I had annual passes to Disneyland. We visited often on the weekends I spent with him. Going to Disneyland with Cameron is like visiting with my own personal Disney Talking Encyclopedia. Everything you … Continue reading

The Bloomp Bloomp
I’ve wanted to tell you about this for a long time. I know I’ve told you about many of the stupid things I did as a child, but for some reason it has been particularly difficult for me to share … Continue reading

DIHACU?
One thing the technological age brought with it is acronyms, words formed from the first initials or parts of other words. We baby boomers knew that many of the words in the 1960’s were acronyms. NATO is North Atlantic Treaty … Continue reading
Shopping with a Woman
As far as I can tell, there are two distinct styles of shopping: My Style of shopping, or The Regular, Normal Way to Shop, and there is Shopping with a Woman. Let me first explain to you My Style of … Continue reading
Silly Spinning Signs
I was recently driving past a local strip mall and took note of a young man twirling one of those signs which now seem to be appearing everywhere. They are, it turns out, called Sign Twirlers or Sign Spinners. The … Continue reading

Sparkly, Sprinkly Things
I’ve always liked things that sparkle. Somewhere in the recesses of what’s left of my mind, there’s a voice saying that, “Boys (men) don’t like sparkly things…” That probably springs from homophobic prejudice(s) in the West. Or, it could harken … Continue reading
Blasé and So-on…
I recently saw Daniel Day Lewis in Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln.” It is a beautifully done motion picture and demonstrated how much effort was made by both Lincoln and others to pass the 13th Amendment, and how close it came to … Continue reading

What Color is the Old Gray Mare?
My first job in radio was Continuity Director for an AM/FM combo in Palm Springs, California. Continuity Director was a fancy way of saying that my job was to write commercials for our clients. My initial desire was to be … Continue reading
