What is Life?
Life is a board game, a magazine and a vapor which appears but for a short time. Take your pick. Or if you don’t like those, make up your own. It seems to be the way society works today. But ...
Friday the 13th
First, let me say I am not superstitious. If a black cat runs out in front of me, it’s their problem not mine. I will take all the necessary precautions not to hit it, but it’s not bad luck, it...
Politics and Religion
Some facts I was taught growing up. Never discuss Politics and Religion, don’t loan money to family or friends, and never date your best friends ex. Unfortunately being taught and living by tho...
Never Forget
In this politically correct society, we live in, I find it no big surprise that Google has done nothing to honor nor remember 9/11. No black ribbon, no special Google Doodle, nothing. Oh, that’s...
A Million Little Things
Most of the time, it is not one thing that gets to us, brings us down, or destroys us. There are those instances where that is true, but in general, it is usually several different things at onc...
Wrong Turn At Albuquerque
Oh, that wascally wabbit! He could never seem to get where he intended. That turn at Albuquerque always did him in. I think we may all have an Albuquerque in our life. Those wrong turns seem ...
Promises for $2000, Alex
I remember one of the first things I was taught as a kid. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Easier said than done. And that is our problem today. We don’t take our promises or our word seri...
Days End
There’s a place I go, to get away, from the madness at the end of my day. Just before the sun’s final bow, I take my trip back to Fall. As splendor colors and fresh crisp air, Welcome me warmly f...
Reasonable Man Theory
Okay, to my female readers, Yes I am aware that Reasonable Man Theory is a myth, no man is reasonable, but humor me. Reasonable Man Theory is a legal question as to what would a reasonable man (p...
Moral Dilemma
Two wrongs are before you and you must choose the least objectionable. Both equally wrong but which will you pick? Most likely the one that will bring the least personal pain. And so the decisi...
I Will Never Let You Know
A little change of pace. Love is a two-edged sword. You are going to get hurt sooner or later. So you have to ask yourself is love worth the risk? Can you live without letting them know how y...
Taste Buds
I am amazed by how my taste have changed. You pick a category and it has pretty much changed. I am not sure why, but things I used to like I no longer care for. The area in which I find this c...
One Small Step...
I remember when Neil Armstrong uttered those immortal words. I never gave much thought to them until today. We take so many things for granted. Walking for instance. I know I learned how as a...
Medical Malpractice
I seriously think that Doctors and Hospitals should be held to a much higher standard. If they can’t figure out what is wrong with you, or in some cases make things worse, you should get a refun...
Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Sorry it’s been so long but my recovery has taken longer than I thought. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. That is one way to describe m...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
To my readers let me say I have missed you. I am currently recovering from 4 days in ICU and an additional 4 days in the hospital due to a severe allergic reaction to my medications. They say t...
Mr. Mustard, in the bedroom, with a Spider
Oh yes, the classic game of wit, verses, skill, versus dumb luck. Deductive reasoning. Of course, there are those among us, that lack the necessary skills to win any game without cheating. ...
The Shot was worse
Medical Practice is a true oxymoron. You walk in, give them your money, and the list of symptoms. My appointment is for 2:00. I arrive 10 minutes early, just case the doctor is running early. ...
The Great Debate
While there are numerous topics that will get a man in deep with the fairer sex, the over/under rule of the bathroom toilet paper is somewhere in my top 10. Followed closely by the making of the...
Bite Me
Some of the phrases used today amuse me. Of course some I would like to take literally. But the lawsuit might not be worth it. Being charged with Battery is not one of the things on my bucket ...
About your Car Warranty
Commercials irritate me. They are every where. That free program or game you loaded on your phone. Chances are it came with a disclaimer that it contains ads. Solid evidence that there is no ...
Music calms the savage beast.
This idiom is actually a misquote of a line from the play The Mourning Bride from the year 1697. The British poet William Congreve wrote this originally as music hath charms to sooth a savage bre...
What is Lethologica, Alex?
By looking at the word I would break it down to Lethal Logic. Deadly reasoning. I remember studying medical terminology a few years back. We were taught to look for a root word to aid us in le...
Depression 101
Just get over it. To be fair, people who have never had to deal with clinical depression are totally clueless. It is as if they think it is, pardon the pun, “All In Your Head” and by humming an...
Let's Make A Deal
Amusement Parks are not for me. The rides make me sick as in throwing up your insides, sick. I road a tilt-a-whirl once with a friend. The longest 5 minutes of my life and I swore if I got off...
Book Description
What Life is like (at least for me) after 60.
