I often wonder what it is that I missed in my developmental years that caused me to get it all so wrong so often. I’ve considered it all now and again for years. I’ve reached a conclusion or two in the past, only to find later that I was wrong about that as well. I’ve […]
As a writer, I am my biggest critic. I feared that all of my work held the same feel, the same “sound.” So I wanted to produce something from a different voice. Lines from a different tone. I apologize for the lack of “Featured Art.” Or, I should say, “related” featured art. I have […]
The Doc said, “We are going to do some lab work,” explaining the names of the tests to be done and what each meant individually and collectively. “I’m afraid of what you might find,” I replied. “But I’m afraid of what I might miss,” I said, my voice trailing off a bit, simultaneously thinking that […]
Back in school, back in the day, it seems that a lot of emphasis was placed on the use of outlines in any writing project. Looking back, I distinctly remember that I was not a fan of the outline. I’m asking myself tonight the reasons why. Was I just lazy? But it seems that I […]
***** Disclaimer: This is my personal interpretation of the song. Someone asked if I was sure about this. That is the thing about any form of art including music. It often speaks differently from one beholder to the next. I know there are many who can relate. I see it often in random posts […]
It is my theory based upon nonscientific observation, that we live within a population of the blind.

Life is strange. There is absolutely no doubt about it. Unequivocally, LIFE itself will kill you. The first rule, though, is that there are rarely “do-overs” in this life. Simply put, to date, the “do-over” just has not been perfected. Who among us wouldn’t sign up for, and pay a premium for just one good […]
He was the biggest “A-hole” that ever drew a breath. He hated monkeys with a passion. With good reason, he hated the “I’m a Little Teapot” song. He had an extremely strong aversion to anyone with upper respiratory issues, especially a sneeze. He despised the JJ Wentworth jingle about structured settlements and needing cash. He […]
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. […]
