October 14, 2016 I don\’t care too much for money, money can\’t buy me love…but I\’d still like to give it a try… The wife and I were multi-billionaires from Thursday, October 6th — till October 11th (with a Saturday spent compiling our case and a Columbus Day in between) making this our greatest fantasy […]

October 7, 2016 I wanted to write about the Grizzly Bear plight in Yellowstone Park in this installment — but it will have to wait so that Hillary\’s people can read this before Sunday Night\’s debate and use it correctly — not like they used an earlier piece and called The Donald\’s supporters \”deplorable.\” What

September 25, 2016 Vin Scully\’s retirement has afforded me the opportunity to avoid the madness that is the American socio-political arena…Vin\’s final Dodger broadcast, replete with Charlie Culberson\’s dramatic walk-off homer to clinch the Western Division Title, gave me strength to endure the debate the following night… If God is male, and spoke English, I
September 17, 2016 My old college roommates have stated that they will be heading North should the unthinkable occur… It is very difficult to write about much of anything during this presidential election year other than the madness that has overtaken US.

I heard an African American gentleman on a recent news interview who suggested that American police

July 19, 2016 Perhaps I was wrong — perhaps Bernie Sanders (and not Donald Trump) was the Manchurian Candidate… We Americans seem to be naturals at creating fictional narratives to explain how things \”really\” happened. From Abraham Lincoln\’s assassination (and John Wilkes Booth\’s alleged demise) to the vaporizing of all that was American Airlines #77

June 29, 2016 I\’m hoping this strange trial did not put a dent in the Randy California/Wolfe Estate — which can\’t possibly approximate LED ZEPPELIN holdings. On the contrary, I\’m hoping SPIRIT sales have soared as a consequence; and, that Jimmy and Robert do the right thing by absorbing all court costs (because Jimmy did
June 20, 2016 Ali died 3 days before my hip replacement surgery — so I am only getting to acknowledge this amazing human being as my thoughts become more clear with dissipating pain meds. Besides, \”La Cucaracha\” just paid respects today (6/20). And with regards to the accolades given this larger-than-life Man, all I can

June 3, 2016 For many years I have believed that cannabis is more ideally suited to tropical island culture — where all you need to do is catch a fish each day and gather some bananas and coconuts. I never saw how IT fit into an industrialized/technological society… …but I have a funny feeling that
