121. Thanksgiving
November 13, 2012
As Thanksgiving approaches this year I’m battling a greasy, black funk of depression that threatens to consume my very soul. I sit in a dark corner with a mind-altering chemical (on the rocks), listening to “Faust”, and reflecting on my favorite holiday from years past. Once the day was idyllic; a w...

122. Mandate of the People
November 08, 2012
The election’s over! Hip, hip, hooray and hot damn! Also, hot dog! (A kosher one for my Jewish friends.) In my heart-of-hearts I do not expect anything to change except an upsurge of hate-and-discontent, bitching-and-griping, gridlock, non-action, denial, projection-of-blame, and higher taxes. My co...

123. Dot, Dot, Dot...
October 21, 2012
I have some unconnected thoughts that have been rattling around in my bean. You know; the kind that occurs over and over again through the years that you mostly ignore, but that you never quite purge? I mean, they’re not earth-shattering thoughts or even all that profound. Many began when you were a...

124. The Diversified States of America; The Good Ol' DSA
September 08, 2012
That’s right! We must CELEBRATE diversity in all its forms—unless you are of European heritage or Christian of course. That would be racist you see. At least that’s what the PC crowd tells me. Being UNITED is passé because today it’s all about the proverbial ME. ME, ME! (Or reparations owed, or the ...

125. SILENT EYES
August 08, 2012
You know, when I’m in the middle of quiet time, which is mainly while running, biking, and swimming, my mind wanders into a bewildering place. Yesterday I started thinking about Plato’s, “The Myth of the Cave”, where people who have never left the cave and never seen either daylight or fire, and onl...

126. Playing Hoops at Latty's Grove
July 27, 2012
Wilhelm Street is perhaps a half mile long dead-ending into Downs Street on the south and Williams Street on the north. Through my high school years I lived with my parents and brothers smack dab at the south corner across the street from Gerald “G.J.P.” Louy; the J.P. stood for justice of the peace...

127. Independence Day (or Come Back Harry Truman!)
July 06, 2012
You know, folks, I’ve been a little hard on the cadre that comprises the US electorate, especially the twenty-and-thirty-somethings. I’ve accused them of focusing on pop culture, of not doing their own thinking, of having a very narrow focus relative to their worldly environment; of taking their fre...

128. THIMK!
July 04, 2012
The first time I noticed a THIMK sign was decades ago posted on office walls of a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. The concept behind it was that everyone should put their gray matter to use when on the job to avoid unnecessary screw-ups and to minimize lost productivity. The irony of the misspell...

129. The Time Traveler
June 29, 2012
Time travel into the past is a journey we each make when recalling a memory. For this treatise, I put a distinct spin on a recent recollection unique to my own worldview; and you know me—I’m a bit abstract (euphemism for “out there”). I chose to “leap” into the present from my teenaged past. I hope ...

130. California Dreamin'
June 24, 2012
I was born and raised a Midwesterner; and schooled there through completion of my undergraduate degree. Even so I consider Southern California my adopted home. It’s not a question of being disloyal to my roots, but a declaration of devotion to a place where my most significant life events occurred. ...
