31. Where Have the 58ers Gone?
August 06, 2019
I met Susan Joan Black Bacon in the sixth grade when she was just plain ol’ Susie Black. She was uncommonly tall with short black hair, and like many adolescents (myself included), a bit gawky. At that period in time, parents in my hometown got bamboozled into entering kids my age, and a year or two...

32. TENNIS ANYONE?
July 25, 2019
Last April my essay about Pickleball was published under the title, PICKLEBALL: A Strange (but Compelling) Hybrid: amazines.com articleid 6256234. In it I explained that the game is a cross-pollination of badminton, ping pong, and tennis; and played on a paddle tennis court—court dimensions are also...

33. LIGHT ANOTHER CANDLE
July 08, 2019
Happy Birthday to me! (Well, that was almost a month ago, and I’ve been procrastinating about writing this essay ever since.) That’s right, June 12 was the big day, and I ponder the miracle. Not the marvel that I’m still alive. I chalk that up to good genes, and a healthy and active lifestyl...

34. IN A WORLD OF UNPLEASANTRIES
May 02, 2019
Some of you may recall my essay entitled, “Hate & Discontent: The New American Paradigm”, published by www.amazines.com January 11, 2017. I offer the following as a “booster shot”. Remember the so-called Christian values of, say, the 1950s and before? Those ideals of yesteryear have been, si...

35. PICKLEBALL: A Strange (but Compelling) Hybrid
April 08, 2019
When I heard the term Pickleball, I found the word off-putting. See, I never liked the idea of naming sports after vegetables. I had the same problem when I used to play Squash Racquets—or just plain Squash—and worried that American “football” (a misnomer if there ever was one) would be renamed Wate...

36. AMERICAN IMPERIALISM REVISITED
March 27, 2019
In part I am repeating the first paragraph (re: Khrushchev) of my last essay because IMO it needs to be reiterated. I first learned about the socialist / communist propaganda machine in my tenth grade world history class. That was a long time ago, but as I observe events unfolding today, it is appar...

37. SOCIALIST PARADISE?
February 09, 2019
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others have stepped up as crusaders in advocating that our constitutional republic (No, it’s not a democracy!) become a socialist economy. They spin it as “Democratic Socialism”. Now there’s a combination of two bad ideas. Like that’s r...

38. HOLIDAZE - 2018 Style
November 30, 2018
Deck the halls, breakout the egg nog, and hang up the stockings! Christmas Season is upon us again. Oh, and Happy Holidays to those of a politically correct persuasion. BTW, whatever happened to Season’s Greetings? Hey, do you suppose we could get a nativity scene by you folks if we called it a thre...

39. MIDTERM Election Fallout
November 14, 2018
Well, thank goodness the 2018 midterm elections are over. The greatest benefit to me? No more gag-inducing television advertisements for candidates and propositions. (Whew!) Fortunately, I voted early, and was out of the country for the last two weeks of mud—feces?—slinging. Over the last 20 years, ...

40. THE KAVANAUGH DEBACLE: Cause-and-Effect
October 15, 2018
For the past week I’ve been thinking about the vetting process for the latest Supreme Court justice, Brett M. Kavanaugh, which included some high-school-stuff allegations by Christine Blasey Ford. Wow! What a circus. The whole shebang gave the world—especially the Europeans—another reason to laugh a...
