161. Nighttime Reflections
August 28, 2011
You know, folks, lately I haven’t been my usual smart-alecky self. You can read it in several of my latest articles. Sorry about that. I’ve sidetracked into a reflective-thinking direction; but dear reader, fear not! This too shall pass! Hang in there. However, for the present, I have one mo...

162. Turn Around and...They're Gone!
August 18, 2011
Kay and I were wed on the Palos Verdes peninsula at a scenic, semi-hidden spot called Portuguese Bend. I recall a gorgeous July sunset. She remains the prettiest bride I’ve ever seen (and I’ve got the pictures to prove it). One-hundred friends and relatives witnessed the event, the number dictated b...

163. Politicians, Liars & Idiots
August 05, 2011
All great kingdoms and societies are destined to fall—sooner or later. Our human proclivity is such that after an era of success we adopt an arrogant, invincible, it-can’t-happen-to-me, mindset. Predictably, it’s not attitude of the people who created, fought for, and nurtured that success, but rath...

164. Requiem
July 23, 2011
A man died today.
By all accounts he was a good man or at least tried to be. He put the toilet seat down, brushed after every meal, flossed regularly, and was a fanatic about personal hygiene. He provided for his family, raised two children, aided friends, and by chance, the church occasiona...

165. Plastic or Paper?
July 16, 2011
I had just returned from a long bike ride on a humid, sunny day with a hot wind blowing out of the southwest. The weather conditions and the exertion from my closing “speed run” gave me a monster case of cotton mouth, and I was sweating like an overweight prostitute in New Orleans after a busy Augus...

166. Father's Day
June 18, 2011
My father left this blue, rocky orb three days after Christmas six years ago, but in his last look I recognized contentment; a circle closed; a job complete; a battle won. During his lifetime he requested very little of me other than to be a gentleman; mainly that I honor my mother and watch out for...

167. BIRTHDAYS! (sigh)
June 12, 2011
Well, here it is; that day again, June 12. Exactly 20 years ago I promised myself that I would nurture each coming day and squeeze every last second for meaning and quality. I figured by having that kind of focus and awareness the days would last longer; and time would go slower. Instead, it has bee...

168. OMG! It's the End of the World!
May 25, 2011
Here it is May and I’m in Indianapolis. The locals are looking forward to the big race, the Indy 500, with delightful anticipation. I attended the experience long ago. What I recall most was 300,000 fans drinking with reckless abandon, and crashing into each other as they exited the track. Fisticuff...

169. Politics & Civility
May 07, 2011
Recently I wrote a tongue-in-cheek article entitled, “The Downfall of Practically Everybody and Everything”. I made observations relative to the creeping loss of societal politeness and graciousness as my life proceeds toward an inevitable biological event. As if to punctuate a temporary darkness in...

170. The Downfall of Practically Everybody & Everything
April 23, 2011
My friend Dennis and I left the Midwest for the sun-splashed beaches and the bikini-clad girls of southern California two days after Christmas. We strapped everything we owned on his Triumph TR-3 roadster and hit the open road arriving at his brother’s home in Orange County on New Year’s Day. ...
