    Hey, they made a Sitcom about it and everyone got rich so, why not? I could use a few bucks. Long list of stuff to follow – just picture me taking a deep breath and going ’till I fall over. I need to figure out pictures and man-o-man, sound bites! Yea, sound bites. Lets start…

    December first, a day I shall refer to as, yesterday. It was a Saturday. It was a beautiful fall day in Southern California. Brisk in the morning, sunny and nice during the day. Moderate breeze. Lovely. It was also my 180th consecutive day of sobriety. Six months. As mentioned before, you don’t count days after…

    I say that a lot. Or I should say, I type that in a lot. Then, I do not do any more. Type any more. Give you any more of me, mine, myself. I leave you hanging, maybe wanting more or maybe grateful I have such a short attention span. Both?? If I had something…

    For those of you that don’t already know, I spend some of my free time doing theater. It was at one time a goal, a desire, a dream to be an actor. Or should I say, BE an actor. As a career, profession. Uhm, didn’t work out so well. However, the effort did give me…

    So, you can’t change the past eh? Bullshit. I overheard a conversation recently about American history. They say it was one way in the school books X number of years ago and now what the so-called reality of things was. I listen to people share their experiences in meetings and in the back of my…

    Things fall down. People fall over. You fall off the wagon. Good things happen to people but bad things befall them. Events fall through, fall shot or sometimes fall by the wayside. Empires have fallen. Stars have fallen from the sky, from their place in the public eye and from favor. Kids fall in with…

    OK – I know there are proper writing techniques, grammar, spelling, rules and such that I have not learned how to apply to anything. I write pretty much exactly the way I speak. Nothing proper, organized, thought-through or even clear on some occasions. I suggest closing your eyes and hearing my voice while you read…

  • Something missing

    Lacking something –             The difference between a writing, good writing, and great writing is what is lost in meaning. Or maybe it is what is lacking. I don’t know, I am not a great writer or reader.  In the movie Mask, the boy teaches a blind girl about color through touch. He hands her something hot and…

    I’ve been a bit hung up on this line, phrase, thought or whatever you call it. It was uttered at a crowded table in reference to a baseball player. I do not like baseball. Was not good at it in grade school. Find it much to slow. (That little ADD digression is a good example…

    Today I was privileged to be the minister/pastor/officiate at a memorial service for a friend of mines father.  This was a rather challenging thing for me to do. A long a detailed description is to follow in a day or two. For now let me say, there is no fence when it comes to believing.…
