The old man was just that. He was old. Old and I think relatively well off, though you wouldn’t have known it by looking. He had this old truck and my guess would be that it was a pre-1970 model, but I have no way of knowing now. I’m not sure either, how he came […]
Well, I guess it is all true. I mean, looking at it now, I don’t think I can make an argument against it. And while I haven’t taken the time to work my way back, putting beginning and ending dates to each segment, I think I must admit that at a glance, it seems true. […]
Little did we know that when we bitched about the apathy of youth, while yet in our youth, that the day would come when we would long for a generation who could not give a lesser shit about this or that. An inspiring individual told me on more than one occasion that she is impressed […]
Of all things that exist on the planet in which we ride, it is music that possesses the power to move, to shape, and to inspire like nothing else. This I learned at a very early age, back in the 1960’s playing 45 records on a record player borrowed from Varnado High School. I couldn’t […]

As I mentioned […]
Sometimes the weight of the world has a way of compounding itself until it is almost suffocating. Like storm clouds looming heavy on the horizon, dark and foreboding, and in our path. In the year of our Lord, 2020, well, it seems there is an endless line of ominous storm clouds in our path. […]
I had a conversation the other day with someone who has been a follower of my site almost from the start. I apologized for not posting as frequently as I need to and gave the excuse that COVID-19 had kind of hindered efforts on my part. Then she told me something very revealing. She said, […]
Almost anyone over a certain age easily recognizes an Eagles Album cover. Back in the day, we all went down to Columbia Sounds (Columbia, Mississippi, OR the record store in your town) and purchased a copy. For those born too late to have vinyl as your only option, well, you may have missed out […]
The days continue. The sun rises, the sunsets, and tomorrow comes, then tomorrow and the tomorrow after that.
