Okay. It’s true. I admit it. I know I am a history-reading, emotionally shallow, U.S. Constitution thumping Neanderthal. Warts and all, I stand with the United States of America. When I was still 17, I even went to Detroit and with a bunch of others swore an oath of allegiance. I reckon you can call […]
“Don’s Log, COVID-date 2020-0720. Day 126 of our adventure in the brave new world imposed on us by imperial leaders in Washington, D.C. and Lansing, MI., and exacerbated by far left radicals.

The last four weeks or so have been kinda’ hard for this cat, sitting upon his loft, safely perched miles away from mayhem, watching. Change is one of the only certainties we can count on, but I’m just not a fan of trying to make significant societal changes overnight — it hurts people. Nor, am […]
Hey, it’s been 10 years since I wrote this “gem” of a column. While I take a breather, enjoy this Don’t Rush Me column, originally published June 30, 2010. *** So, I finally started reading the book, A Walk In The Woods, by Bill Bryson. Folks have been after me to read it for years […]

There is sooo much going on. And, I just want to go and hide. Let all the kids fight it out and live my live in a cabin in the woods. I don’t want to write about protesting, protestor nor of protests — if only because everyone else is. I like like being a contrarian. […]
