Some individuals in this make-believe world might be good at what they do, but I do NOT want to hear an actor's so-called thoughts on political matters. Unless the actor was a former politician, it's akin to my plumber offering his wisdom on Internal Medicine (unless, of course, he was a former cardiologist). Okay, Mr. … Continue reading Political Statements from Actors

Backpacks
Listen to me, you new generation of elephantine-sized backpack people: when you wear a backpack that's large enough to fit only one of them in the cargo-hold of a plane, you need to be more aware of its presence while wearing it. When you turn your body while wearing that monstrosity in a crowd of people, … Continue reading Backpacks
Joke-buster Restaurant Wait Staff

But, I will not be held responsible the next … Continue reading Joke-buster Restaurant Wait Staff
Self-Serving GG’s
Occasionally, my lovely family has a habit of self-serving gift giving. That is, they purchase what they need and disguise it as a gift for me.

My Wife’s Bath Towels
For some inexplicable reason, my wife, as her mother before her, keeps bath towels until they practically disintegrate.

Currently, there's a threadbare bath towel in the linen closet you can use as a strainer.

Thinking It Through
(Your empire toppled ... ) Thinking It Through You say you think it wise for your perennial disguise, but who do you think you’re tricking? All your life you kept sticking to your one-tracked ways and your people-fooling days. You aren’t a supreme being anymore as your reign died without a roar, and no one has … Continue reading Thinking It Through
Mired
(A bit of Micropoetry.) Mired So mired, in rubble neck deep. So tired, in trouble, must sleep. No rest, so to plead and connive. I wrest to be freed, kept alive.
The Legend Of Apollo
(This tribute was the least I could do.) The Legend Of Apollo The first of these 3-manned flights Embarked so with Schirra’s Apollo 7; Preparing humankind for unseen sights Merited of Apollo 1’s 3, now in heaven Next, Apollo 8 was so mightier than all, Finally, leaving earth for the moon; edge-of-seat drama… but … Continue reading The Legend Of Apollo
Mr. Mike and His Mr. Mike Shirt
(We’re challenged to turn away … but cannot.) Mr. Mike and His Mr. Mike Shirt Be advised, it’s Mr. Mike and his Mr. Mike shirt Unique, chic, miraculous, mesmerizing from afar Irrational, as stripes, squares, patterns-a-dancing Per Mr. Mike, as he zip-zags through many a star There he moves, perpetual, and in the distance With … Continue reading Mr. Mike and His Mr. Mike Shirt
