After Insanity

Holy shit I don’t know what I am more impressed by. How freaking hot she is, or what an amazing guitarist she is.

Dead or Alive

She seems to be tuned a little sharp. But. Yes. I would eat her all gone. I’m on the schedule for Tuesday and Thursday again. Tuesday is already looking iffy. The remnants of Flo are suppos...

Just Sunday

I seem to have lost my writing voice. Every time I sit down to write nothing comes out. I had a busy week last week. Flew a couple of times. Getting used to the beechcraft, an the instructors ...


The song is actually called “Home.” I was thinking about some of the people I have known and even my son – who doesn’t know where home is. I was a service brat too, but home was were my parents...

Trip Around the Sun

Trip Around the Sun No you never see it coming, Always wind up wondering where it went. Made it around the sun again. Sort of surprising. When I was in my 30s I didn’t think I would see my 50s...

Can’tcha Say

I stink of cordite and sweat. My head and shoulders (sounds like a shampoo) are burned. Dumb move, Duke. The Boony hat was right there in the car and the beach bag was in the trunk. I have e...

Dare You to Move

The weather in Maine could not be more phenomenal. Mid 80s, low humidity. I made it to the beach and walked. I thought I would have gotten 5 miles but my Garmin Watch told me it was 3.3 mile...

Landing In London

Landing in London Fun song to sing along with. I harmonize with the lead singer and go high at the end of each stanza. Like I said fun. Before I destroyed my left hand I was trying to get that...

Something to Believe In

When I saw you for the first time Eyes the color of the ocean Something moved inside of me Long forgotten lying broken Now I can’t turn away Funny how so many bookmarks in my life are what I was...

Wild Side

Wildside Shit, but wasn’t Motley Crue a tight band in their day? Peace No complaints. Okay a few exceptions. Anthony Bourdain I wasn’t a fan. In fact, the only time I accidently watched “Parts...

Yes

Yes I would sell my soul for a couple of hours with her. Holy shit!

Everything

Everything, Stereo Fuse. I went back and forth about what to title this one. Evel gave me “Everything” and YouTube gave me “For Emily, Wherever I might Find Her.” Sometimes I wonder if I am not...

Sometimes She Cries

By the fall of 1989 I had already shot almost every weapon in the US inventory. I had made it through AOCS. I had started flight school. And I was wondering what the fuck I was doing. I had “...

I’ll Go On Loving You

Weird headspace. I was testing my ForeFlight/iPad combination today. Foreflight is a pretty cool program. Combined with a GPS enabled device it can tell you how to get to where you are going...


Nice to see this place is still around. After the OD debacle, I feared for the worst. But Simple Mind was in it more for the love of the community, compared to whatever Bruce was doing. Remem...

Chess

Chess Weather here is just perpetually dreary. Earlier today I heard what sounded like a plow pushing a dumpster down the road. When I went outside I realized it was a thunderstorm. Those are ...

Far From Home

Far From Home Granted, I wasn’t on the ground in Bosnia, Iraq or Afghanistan. But I was there. There is a weird switch that you flip, and then there is nothing but the job. Plan, brief, gear up...

Fortune

Fortune So apparently we are at endgame here at PB. I don’t have the will to start over again at a different site, and I will be damned if I ever go back to OD. That motherfucker Bruce owes me...

Sad But True

Sad But True This morning I woke up a little sad. Maybe melancholy is a better word for it. It’s been drippy and wet and a bit unpleasant for a few weeks now. On Facebook, on one of the Veteran...

No Se Si Es Amor

In 1992 I was on cruise on the USS Saratoga, flying with the world famous Scorpions of VAQ-132. The Bosnian fiasco hadn’t started yet. In port in Naples I picked up a copy of Baladas en Españ...
