181. A Christmas Memory
December 30, 2010
The end-of-year holiday season holds many memories for me; all pleasant in one way or another. Two that immediately come to mind are the birth of our grandson on December 29, and the death of my father on December 28. Dad's passing was bittersweet, but pleasant in that he led a full life and went ou...

182. Club of Clowns - Part 2: Monday Night Football
December 07, 2010
I had a Saturday morning handball match with Bobo. We were evenly matched, but overall he had a bit of an edge on me so I got to the Manhattan Beach Athletic Club early enough to stretch, hit the speed bag, and do a 10-minute hand-to-eye coordination drill on the court. By the time Bobo entered I ha...

183. Club of Clowns - Part 1: Avalon Beckons
December 04, 2010
I wasn't sure how to title this series. I first thought maybe SHIP OF FOOLS (and you'll soon read why), but that's been taken. My second thought was A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES, but that was used by John Kennedy Toole for his laugh-out-loud story about New Orleans; by far the funniest book I've ever rea...

184. VERSE-A-TILITY
November 26, 2010
Writing poetic verse does not come naturally to me. Yet when I want to express myself with a little extra portion of passion, but slightly in the abstract, nothing gives me more satisfaction. Story-telling, on the other hand, is easy. When I recall a memory or have an idea, words fly off the...

185. Living Libido Loco Redux - The May Dance
November 22, 2010
...It was nearing dusk. The mercury vapor lights had slowly brightened the tennis courts at Kingwood Country Club near Houston. The golfers were either in the locker room or at the bar. I had just lost a tough first set tie-breaker to Jerry, 7-6. Preparing to serve, I became aware of millions of del...

186. Book Signings - A Humbling Experience
October 29, 2010
I recently authored a work of fiction entitled, SONGS FROM LATTYS GROVE (August 2010 from PublishAmerica). The imaginary berg of Lattys Grove is based on Defiance, Ohio, located in the northwest corner of the Buckeye state about an hour south of Toledo. Although I am a native son of Defiance and hav...

187. Kidney Stones - Who Needs 'em?
October 17, 2010
About a month ago I wrote an article entitled, BIRTHING A METEOR, which chronicled my first (and hopefully only) experience with an 8mm calcium stone that became lodged between my left kidney and bladder. Too big to pass, it stubbornly sat just outside my kidney and caused hours of excruciating pain...

188. G'DAY BIDET
October 04, 2010
This little ditty is paraphrased from a chapter in AFTER HOURS: ADVENTURES OF AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSMAN, Strategic Publishing Group, New York, NY (2009)...with a few extra thoughts... After a bit of reflection on the subject, this is my last turn; my very last burn...I promise. It took me...

189. Living Libido Loco - Conclusion
September 19, 2010
Let's wind this up... So far, we've learned our crazy love-life experiences and selections of mates in America are affected and directed by three unrelated realities: 1. Weird science - a view of how relationships are hopelessly random using statistics and probability. 2. Pers...

190. Living Libido Loco - Part 4: Attack of the Clones
September 11, 2010
Let's see, it's been some time since I've written on the subject, so how about a quick review? First, I clued you in about a conversation that got me off (No, not literally!) on this crazy libido tangent, then promised you three simple constituent parts to give you all you'll ever need to kn...
