Watching a battle of the birds, the Jays, and the Orioles. After our bird boys in blue tied it up early, the wheels fell off and the game was gone to the birds, the orange and black birds that is. Farmer Steve said “bad time for a slump”. Most days it’s a bad day for...
It was around 1990 that my parents started wintering in Florida, a Sebring seniors sanctuary, trailers with no wheels. I don’t remember getting a ransom note in those block cut out letters from Florida demanding a substantial payment for the return of my parents. But...

Sergeant: I didn’t see you at our camouflage exercise this morning Private. Private: Thank you sir. I went duck hunting once, many years ago, my first and last hunting experience. It was with my father and grandfather. We got geared up early on a cold wet fall...
Attending a wedding reception and I have been designated the designated driver, perhaps due to past performances at similar events? So, it’s one and done for me. Meanwhile the Department of Morality is into the rum and colas like Hunter S Thompson on a visit to San...
