(I’ve real work tomorrow … you don’t!) You’re Retired and I’m Not© No one I know still working my age. All younger than me; free of the cage. My, oh my … the indignity … the rage. I work for a living, with zero free time; understandably, that goes hand-in-hand. Retirees … you still seem … Continue reading You’re Retired and I’m Not©

The Merchandise People
The Merchandise People We pay homage in many ways to the world’s very smart individuals. People like Albert Einstein, Michelangelo, Galileo, and Marie Curie from the past. Today, it’s Stephen Hawking and others. There's no denying the impact these people have made on mankind, with their respective, and various far-reaching contributions. However, with all due … Continue reading The Merchandise People
I Must Know
(Will You and I meet and greet?) I Must Know I must know before I go, If and when we’ll meet; Though no offer or guarantee I’m Yours, when life’s complete. I know about Your Judas Iscariot, His despicable betrayal and deceit; And I know You taught humility, By washing Your disciples’ feet. I know … Continue reading I Must Know
The Holiday Decorations People
The Holiday Decorations People I don't understand the reasoning for putting up holiday decorations weeks or even months before the actual holiday. Lately, I've seen Halloween decorations before summer's end, Thanksgiving before Halloween, and Christmas before Thanksgiving. WHY????? What is the goddam rush? Listen to me you ubiquitous jump-the-gun holiday decorations people … when you … Continue reading The Holiday Decorations People
The Food People
The Food People I don’t know what else to pontificate about this subject anymore. People are obsessed with food and it’s exasperating. Food is sustenance and life, I get it. So is water and oxygen but no one ever talks about those, ad nauseam, like food. In a restaurant, did you ever notice how all … Continue reading The Food People
The Other Sun People
The Other Sun People I get it. People worship the sun and have it down to a science in so doing. Sun-idolizing pagans in the 5th century bowing to the Sun-God had nothing on these people. Laying in it, playing in it, they’re out there whenever possible in worship … without a pulpit, pew, or a Stonehenge in … Continue reading The Other Sun People
Brain Power
Brain Power When my now grown daughter was 4 or 5, she was an old soul and always concerned about any upcoming function, such as a school event, test, etc. That is, she was always worried that her “brain wouldn’t work properly,” and wouldn’t be able to absorb and learn what she needed. So, in … Continue reading Brain Power
Today I have to do it all Over Again
Today I have to do it all Over Again It's true about the wedding-funeral thing. As in, as time goes by, it’s the only time you see certain family members. I was doing the funeral hugs-and sorrow-thing for a while, seemingly caught in one of those endless loops, including my own mother’s. (I love you … Continue reading Today I have to do it all Over Again
Those Screeching PCH Commercials
Those Screeching PCH Commercials I’m hoping to win today's daily $1,000,000,000 contest prize from Publishers Clearing House – no, not to buy houses and cars – but to offer the money back to them. Why? As a plea deal for them NOT to run those torturous commercials, that’s why. You know the ones where a … Continue reading Those Screeching PCH Commercials
The “Big Guy” who Called WWDB Radio in Philadelphia
The “Big Guy” who Called WWDB Radio in Philadelphia Many years ago during my ride home from work, I was listening to a radio show by renowned Vietnam correspondent and talk show host, Stan Major. Stan, at that time, was the host of a show at WWDB radio in Philadelphia. I don’t remember the subject … Continue reading The “Big Guy” who Called WWDB Radio in Philadelphia
