Saturday I worked from midnight until six a.m. then had to double back by 10 p.m. to work until six a.m. on Sunday. It didn’t end there. I had to return to work as scheduled on Sunday by six p.m. and work until midnight. By this time I really needed to find the energizer bunny,…

And the saga continues… Late last night I decided go get myself another pair of black togs. I like them because they are comfortable to wear while standing and walking the majority of  the night at the radio station. There were some errands I had to do for my wife today, so I took care of…

It’s been 27-years since the U.S. Air Force fired me as an Environmental Health, Medical and Rescue Tech. The day I was discharged, I felt like my world was ending. Happily, I was wrong. While my experiences that led up to my dismissal were horrible and emotionally damaging, I survived it…and moved on from it.…

So much for simplicity and organization after a visit from that famous lawyer, Mr. Murphy. I woke up this morning to find my black lab and pit bull playing tug-of-war with one of my black slip-on shoes. And jus ‘behind them were the remains of one of my tennis shoes. I was certain it was…

It’s a little late to call it spring cleaning, but it feels good none the less. I’ve gone through my drawers and my closet, getting rid of the things I don’t wear or can’t fit. I’ve always been a pretty simple in my way of dress. Blue jeans and a white button down or pocket…

It has certainly been an interesting morning. I know that this subject will be a turn-off for many as it is both uncomfortable and confusing. If you are jus’ trying out God, like kicking the tires on a car, good for you. If you ‘re growing closer to God by volunteering and going to church,…

Kyle turned 16-years-old on Tuesday.  However he didn’t get a chance to celebrate the day with me and his step-mom, since he was with his mother arid step-father. A friend of mine told me that I  should have celebrated his birthday while he was at our home and not at his mother’s home. I decided…

I’ve grown tired of writing political commentary on the news and as the political landscape changes in this country, I find myself more and more angry. I’m more a political cynic now than a news commentator. Having not written about news or about politics for the last few days has caused a calming effect in…

This cowboy poem was written for my friend, Amanda Blake, who the world knew better as ‘Miss Kitty Russell’ from the TV series, ‘Gunsmoke.’ She used to come to the local casino in Sparks, Nevada, where I worked, to hold seminars and workshops for up and coming actors and actresses. She passed away in Sacramento,…
