Holy crap, I guess I am competitive!

Holy crap, I guess I am competitive!

Not to toot my own horn, but, the other week I did my part for humanity and donated a pint of blood (thank you, thank you, hugs and kisses), and in the act of squirting out the red stuff, I kinda’ came to the conclusion, gee, I am competitive. I, Donald P. (for Pugnacious) Rush, […]

Don’s irrational fear of monkeys renewed

For the past year or so I have been catching glimpses of the movie opening this week, War For The Planet of The Apes. (I think most folks call those glimpses “Previews,” but then again, I ain’t most folks.) The reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise has really kinda bummed me out. By […]

This story begins Sept. 1, 2004. Last week I got some great news. News that had me whistling happy tunes, snapping my fingers and tapping my toes. I had a stye in my eye — left to be exact. That’s it. That is my happy news. I went to the urgent care center in Oxford, […]

The peeps chime in on #SegerToClarkston

It’s funny, I reckon, one of my favorite songs (or more accurately, one of the songs that sticks in my head) was released by RCA Victor in 1965. It was the flip side to Make the World Go Away, recorded by county & western legend Eddy Arnold. I only remember this because it was one […]

Hey, somebody! Get this to Bob Seger, STAT!

Hey, somebody! Get this to Bob Seger, STAT!

Yeah, without a doubt it seems every few years or so those whacky Clarkstonfolk like to bring up the name (reverently, I might add): Robert Clark Seger. Yes, that Robert Seger, better known as Bob Seger — Rock N Roll Hall of Fame singer/song writer. I would venture to say, if Clarkston were England, they […]
