Like every other opined communicator out there in America, I too was gonna? write about the Republican presidential debate which took place ast week. Then I said, ‘why?? I didn’t even watch it — those who did just wanted to make quick, 140 character snarky remarks for their own amusement. Not I. So . . […]
All I can say is, ‘Wow.? (Well, that ain’t true. If that is all I had to say on the subject I am about to elaborate on, it would be a very short column, indeed.) Holy cow! I saw some of the worst driving ever last week. Moreover, it was reckless and dangerous driving I […]
So, I took off a week from work last week — one of about nine or 10 single weeks I have taken off in the last 30 years. I had no plans other than to work on This Crappy Old House. I thought I could patch stucco on the outside of the 99-year-old home. I […]
So I’m sitting at my desk, high up (22-steps-to-a-new-you up) in the Ivory Tower of Clarkston last Monday ? just sitting, minding my own bees wax and plotting my evil plans of inciting a residential uprising (and if you ask city council, trying to tear down Clarkston is all I wanna do with my life) […]
For as long as I can remember I have always had a fascination with words. Tis true. Some words I like to hear ? I enjoy their sound, the way the vibrations tingle my little ear bones. Some words I like to say; I like the feel of them as they stumble out and off […]

First off kids, don’t try this at home or for any high school or collegiate paper for which you will be graded. I am a highly trained and 40-hour a week salaried professional. What you are about to witness, if I can pull it off, is a column which weaves three, seemingly unrelated topics into […]
Elvis Presley sang a song in the late 1960s for the movie, Live a Little, Love a Little. The song, I believe written by Mac Davis (who also wrote In the Ghetto), was titled A Little Less Conversation. It wasn’t that cool of a song in the late ?60s, but became popular with a remix/dance […]
I can’t help it. I know it’s not funny. I know it’s not a joke. But ‘death by hamster? just sounds funny to me. I am bad. I’m going to Hell. But, I can’t help it. In 2005, I remember reading about people who died because they received donated organs infected with some sort of […]
I asked a question in a my headline, and I think it was an appropriate question, ‘Sunny and 80 for Memorial Day?? The answer, sad to say is, ‘No.? Weather prognosticator Swami Don says this weekend while, reverent and solemn, will be kinda sucky (which also means it will be sorta good). Friday looks to […]
