Sitting with the blinds open, finally accepting that winter is freaking here! Decided to sit down and let the shhhtuff in my head out since the writer’s strike has made new bad tv hard to find this morning. Spent a few seconds too long in front of the mirror – a mistake I try very hard […]
Now my eyesight is not what it used to be, so as I passed, I knew it wasn’t her…well, she was at home anyway – and I am guessing if the lady noticed me, she probably felt that I was some creepy dude staring at her (sorry). Anyway….not sure where shit went bad, but it […]
I can remember when I thought of time as limitless. It was rare that a watch was on my arm, I never placed calendars on the wall nor did I track tomorrow with certainty. It was all spent being…being free, being on the water, being drunk, being high, being on the way to somewhere…being alive. The construct that […]
Nothing prepared me for retirement; the drop from 100 MPH to virtually ZERO was a shock to a lifestyle that wasn’t used to no one calling, or some problem to solve.

This quote from the Dalai Lama now hangs on a corkboard beside where I spend my days reflecting, writing; trying to keep the dog from downstairs and my extremely few tasks complete. It is grimly mocking me tonight for being foolish. It reads (for clarity): The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, […]
To say 2022 was an odd year would probably be an understatement. It started with losing a tooth while fishing, then about 95% of the way through that adventure, the dentist tells me they no longer accept my insurance. Along came Covid, pink eye, some kind of flu, two heart attacks…and after 60 years on this earth, […]
He sat in his truck with the window down during the misty morning sipping a Diet Pepsi, eating day old doughnuts. There had been no movement from the small house across the street. He had only looked away to keep from peeing on himself while using the empty Pepsi bottles, so he felt certain no one was […]
