This weather has been horrible. Well, not horrible, but it has been cloudy, rainy, overcast and cold. I have not been able to ride my bike to work during the week, or after work for that matter, but I have been fortunate to put in some miles on the weekends. The rain has been a […]
This morning marks 3 full weeks since I announced dbeazylife.com. To date, the posts on dbeazy have been viewed over 1000 times. I am encouraged by these numbers. I had no idea if anyone would check out the site, let alone check it out on a continual basis, so thanks for your support and spread […]
We lived in the country growing up in the ’70s. To live in the country back then was much different than it is today, much different. Besides there being no cell phones, only three TV stations, very few security lights, there was almost no traffic. We learned as boys to drive a 3 on the […]
I tend to get a bit wordy in my posts here, which I realize goes against the norms of the day and time in which we live. Except for certain circumstances, everything I put to text will be in sentence form, with at least an attempt to make it grammatically correct, and free of abbreviations. […]

There is hardly a day that passes when I don’t reach down deep inside in search of a pearl of wisdom learned or experienced from one or both of my parents. Just yesterday as […]
Golf is a sport. Golf is challenging. Golf is demanding. Golf is aggravating. Golf is about Zen, maturation, soul searching, honesty, dishonesty, mental anguish, foul language, promises to the universe, and a provocative search for the meaning of life.

This morning, I’m sitting in an upstairs lounge area in Hellfighters USA Motorcycle Shop in Laurel, Mississippi. Downstairs, my bike is being serviced, so I grabbed a chance to jot down a few words. I must say, this place is fascinating, to say the very least. If you like motorcycles, guns, Jeep, veterans, or America, […]
Looking back to last June, I’m remembering that we had a fairly mild summer in 2019. It is easy for me to make that statement, given the fact that it is now February 2020. At any rate, Melissa and I were into our third straight weekend motorcycle riding on June 15, 2019. Flora, Mississippi and […]
