Never let them see you sweat and NEVER let them see you cry! Advice to live by, words to swear to, and yes, a personal oath to be kept. But life is seldom without exceptions, and outliers have a way of altering currents. Recently in a discussion about the value of professional therapy, I stated […]
I was born too early, I was born too late. Often I ponder such minuscule, yet prodigious statements. As I write this, I’m a mere 57 minutes from my 60th birthday. Of course, the obvious answer is, “I was born right on time, exactly when I was intended to be born.” I answer in the […]
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 […]
*** Note from DBeazy. Regarding “Of Emerald Eyes and Happenstance.” the final 3 parts are almost complete. I’m currently doing a ton of editing and quite a few rewrites. Until then, I hope you enjoy the latest from the DBeazy One-Man-Think-Tank. The restaurant was crowded, not yet to the waiting stage, but it certainly appeared […]
There is scarcely a day that passes that I don’t write something. Many of you, I’m sure, are wondering about the larger project I embarked upon a little over a year ago.

During pensive moments, often, the overwhelming urge arises to try to glance at the scoreboard. An ineffectual act to be sure, yet I think it is part of the DNA that makes up my DNA. From one day to the next, I wonder about the score, and more importantly, consider the clock, knowing fully that […]
I was driving home tonight alone in the dark. Void of the lights of town, a bright and mostly full moon shown above, and absolutely NOTHING was to be found on the radio. This is nothing new. To me, radio as a music delivery system is less than a generation now from being a thing […]
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 […]
