War Is Heck! Yes, I said Heck, and I’m proud of it. Some things have to be said without the sugarcoating of a decent society. I sit here in the relative peace between battles like a modern-day Gomer Pyle. Or was that Ernie Pyle? Standing on the front lines, looking into the eyes of the …

Game Of Planes
The time had come for a great quest. An adventure of epic proportions. We knew there would be hardships, but were ready to face the dangers with fortitude and optimism. Secure in our abilities to survive whatever mortal challenges might arise, it was decided. We were going on vacation. (You’ll have to imagine the epic …
Help! I Have Been Overthrown By A Coup
“I read the news today, Oh Boy!” This is the first line in the Beatles tune A Day In the Life. As with many of their songs from that part of their career, the rest of the song makes very little sense. And Oh Boy, did John Lennon ever get that part right. The news …
And An Extra Helping Of Guilt… Thanks
Well much to my dismay another fitness center has opened up around the corner from my house. This makes four centers within easy walking distance from my humble abode. Oh boy! If that doesn’t make you want to sweat, I don’t know what will. Now don’t get me wrong, I am all for being healthy. …
When Did My Daughter Turn In To A Girl
There is a song, in the Broadway musical Fiddler On The Roof, called Sunrise Sunset. No, it’s not about global-warming. Why does everything have to be about global-warming these days? I mean… Oh wait, I was talking abut the song. The song is a very sensitive melody about how the years fly by as your …
Crap, Now That’s A Problem
I just read a poll which stated that there are 42% more cats than dogs in the United States of America. I concluded, therefore, that cats are more popular than dogs. Hooray for the cat people. Now, I really don’t follow polls much, and frankly don’t much care if you prefer a cat, dog, turtle, …
Build A Better Mousetrap And The World Will Call It Irving
What’s in a name? Shakespeare once said, “A rose planted in manure would still stink” Or something like that. Then again, Einstein quipped: “There are only two infinite things, the universe and human stupidity. And I’m not convinced about the first.” Somewhere in between these two great ideals, the human creature has created a friendly …

My New, Hi-Tech Digital Aggravation
My phone and I are no longer on speaking terms. Actually, it’s not my whole phone. I can still send texts and listen to podcasts, but my contacts, schedule, and several apps are locked out because my digital assistant is having a hissy fit. If You Want To Hear Me Read This CLICK HERE If …
The Legend Of The Lone Hyacinth
A long time ago, when the lawless west was being forged by the pioneers, a solitary territorial farmer stood up and screamed, “This sucks. I should have stayed home.” That man was Rupert J. Snodgrass and he is credited with absolutely nothing. Which is extremely coincidental because he has absolutely nothing to do with this …
Little Debbie vs The British Baking Show
Let me get one thing perfectly clear, Little Debbie has served my specialty cake needs for my entire life. Why should I subject myself to the humiliation of those TV bakers who make custards from fifty-year-old cognac? Sure, I don’t get to eat what they craft on the British Baking Show, but when you’re looking …
