I think all of us dads out there often worry that we aren’t able to be that “everything” in the eyes of our children. Work and the day-to-day grind rob us of time and then there is often guilt associated when we go out and do guy things that don’t include them, like a favorite […]
I think everyone whose parents are no longer of this realm, will agree that their influence reaches from beyond the grave. 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. Or, it’s nothing more than a beer-filled afternoon of bullshitting with friends while wearing some cool […]
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 […]
The idea behind the layout and design of my website is based on one concept. That it should be simple and easy to navigate. Instead of a lot of flash, movement, and distraction, my hope is that the content ends up being the driving force. Good content, after all, is what will keep you clicking […]
In the not-to-distant past, I could be found at the golf course almost every day. I gave up the game when a chronic issue with four of my fingers left me unable to grip my golf clubs. The condition is correctable, but I just haven’t gotten around to it because it will probably require surgery. […]
Foreword Today I am publicly announcing for the first time my website, dbeazylife.com. I have been working on the site for about a month now so that there would be content there when readers click on the link. Hopefully, you will find something you like here and will come back often. Today is also Super […]
I mentioned earlier about the motorcycle trip when Mel and I found ourselves at the Windsor Ruins in Claiborne County, Ms. This trip became more or less our maiden voyage as far as the motorcycle trips were concerned. I had purchased a 2007 Honda VTX 1300 from a man who had to end his riding […]
The early eighties were tumultuous times. I remember that it was around this time that I first heard older people making “biblical end-of-time” references whenever something big happened in the world. Now, I’m sure that this had been going on since the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, but it was the first I had heard […]
