21. REVERIE
April 17, 2020
MEMORIES POP-UP at random times during a lifetime, sometimes triggered by music, return to a familiar place, a sudden thought about a particular person, an old photograph; it could be any of a number of things. Today, a song on the radio took me back to a long ago event. It was one of those pleasant...

22. A TIME TO LIVE
March 21, 2020
A TIME TO LIVE, AND A TIME TO DIE are two appointments all living things must keep; and is the thesis for a poem by Audrey Heller. Further, she charged us not to let precious time go by. I consider this very good advice, which I’ve attempted to follow during my allotted time. I say, burn a candle at...

23. ROLLER DERBY, POLITICS, and the NBA
March 02, 2020
This essay is about quality, or rather about the disintegration of quality in certain aspects of my life, much of it occurring since the end of the 1980s. I admit “quality” is in the perception of the beholder; that is, it varies from person to person. However, no matter how you cut it, QUALITY has ...

24. Ballad of a Retired Goof-Off
February 01, 2020
Once again the sun defeated the moon as night gave way to dawn, which was the 29,088th time since my birth. Better still, I blinked awake (yes!), and joyfully realized I had another day to mess around. You see, I no longer take waking up for granted, especially since a friend, artist Ed Man...

25. METAMORPHOSIS: Transformation of an Opinionated Man
January 10, 2020
AS GREGOR SAMSA AWOKE from unsettling dreams one morning, he found himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. --Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis Ever know anyone who has experienced a life-altering metamorphosis? Come to think of it, that’s probably a rhetorical question. Chances are we all...

26. WORDS, SPINMASTERS & DECEPTION
December 19, 2019
Words… Racism is a word that has pretty much lost power due to frequent and deliberate misuse; especially by a political party whose history has been blatantly racist. During my lifetime, I recall vociferous integration opponents emerging from their dugout; viz., George Wallace, Orval Faubus...

27. HUMAN BEHAVIOR
November 24, 2019
As a writer, and during a past life in the corporate world, I’ve always been a student of human behavior; curious about how and why individuals and groups act and react to normal and abnormal situations. Am I just naturally inquisitive or downright nosy? Probably both, but I’ve always felt that good...

28. KICKIN' IT ON ROUTE 66
November 10, 2019
So, I’m relaxing by listening to the George Shearing quintet, sipping an Old Fashioned, and recalling a telephone conversation I had several days ago with a lifelong friend who lives two hours away in Tucson. We reminisced about a time more than 50 years ago when we made the trip west to what was th...

29. LAST DANCE with the (faux) IRS
October 22, 2019
Recently, I wrote an essay entitled, SLIPPING AWAY, which was published by this online magazine. You know how you get those “I should have said” moments? Well, this blurb is one of those; that is, perhaps happenings I should have mentioned in that essay.
There’s a Ben Sidran song performed b...

30. SLIPPING AWAY
September 13, 2019
It had been one of those bad days; a day so bad you might not brush your teeth just to project halitosis on those around you. You know the kind I’m talking about; one of those out-of-kilter days when everything rubs you wrong; the kind of day that puts you into a greasy, black funk, and momentarily ...
