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. Truthfully, I’m wondering about it as well. Rest easy my friends. “Of Emerald Eyes and Happenstance” is still alive. It is “percolating,” […]
Recently, someone posted on Facebook a meme questioning, “What are some things that we did in the ‘80s that kids today will never experience?” There were many great replies, such as references to old television shows, local restaurants, long since closed, rotary phones, and activities that no longer hold the allure they once did like […]

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 […]
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 […]
