41. BATTLE WITH A BIDET
December 20, 2017
So, here’s the deal: I was living in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) trying to work a deal with the younger Khashoggi brother, Amr, to sell an oil additive to (among others) ARAMCO, the KSA national oil company, and YUSEF BIN ACHMED KANOO, a giant ocean transport corporation. I admit that sell...

42. CHRISTMAS: A HALLMARK MYTH?
December 02, 2017
I grew up in the Midwest during the end of what climatologists call the Little Ice Age; a short period of time when the Northern Hemisphere was supposedly much colder than normal. What I recall about winter, up through my undergraduate college days, are frequent cold snaps and snow falling shortly a...

43. BETRAYED!
October 10, 2017
You know, folks, we live in a time somewhat similar to Salem Witch Trial days. Then, if a lady’s behavior seemed to be a tad outside of mainstream; that is, a bit different from her peers, she was the subject of outlandish and cruel scrutiny. All it took to ruin (or take) her life was an accusation....

44. REFORMATION or How Politicians screwed-up the System
September 25, 2017
It is basic human nature to make simple things complicated because so-called big-brained intellectuals get paid a lot of money to offer convoluted, and often times conflicting, explanations for simple matters. We seem to like complications in order to deny and/or avoid the truth. Even though in a pa...

45. Consequences of Time
August 06, 2017
At first I didn’t think it was a big deal. I told myself that I must have glanced away for a split second. Surely my skills couldn’t have deteriorated that much. Could they? I mean, I realize I’m no longer 25-years-old, but still--
Worse was the unfamiliar doubt that filled my head; doubt ...

46. My Last Day?
June 18, 2017
I awoke at 5:37 AM feeling well-rested and content, but rather peculiar without knowing why. Something was definitely off—not weird off, but like a revelation was about to be disclosed. As I opened the plantation shutters to the rising sun, there was a certain glow bouncing off terracotta roof tiles...

47. The Martini Month of May
June 05, 2017
Well, May 2017 is behind us, and I am happy to report that I successfully fulfilled a ritual my brothers and I observe the twenty-second of every May—and will continue to fulfill as long as we remain in the quick. So far, the streak is twelve years.
A word of explanation. My father enjoyed a...

48. Musical Adventures in Estrella (or The Music Man of CantaMia)
May 15, 2017
Our newly formed musical ensemble does not have 76 trombones; heck, we don’t even have one, but despair not, music lovers, I’m working on it. The rhythm section (keyboard, bass, drums, guitar) is pretty good, and the horn section (alto sax, trumpet) is coming on strong. Our vocalists are working har...

49. The Reaper Makes a House Call
January 28, 2017
Five years ago I wrote an article that was deleted from the archives. At the time, I lived in the Midwest, and was the picture of perfect health. Since moving to the Southwest a year and a half ago, little annoying things have been happening to (indestructible) me: sporadic pains in the back and hip...

50. The Trump Card
January 22, 2017
The following essay is not intended to either sway opinion, insult, or convert anyone to my thought process. It is simply an unfiltered opinion relating to recent national issues as analyzed by me. And who among humanity doesn’t want to hear my opinion? If not, read no further. Easy, huh?
