This past week there have been a number of shootings again. Maybe this is going on all the time, but the media has made sure to report on at least three I can think of off the top of my head that somehow caught me different than the others. All of them leading up to…
I’m somewhat in disbelief that I’m sporting a short hard cast on my leg. No accident, just a congenital problem with an Achilles tendon being too short. Most of my life, I’ve been fairly athletic playing most sports through high school and later on playing football. I used to have a thirty-six-inch vertical jump, so…
So many aspects of our lives require a little patience. Problem is we live in a society hellbent on self-gratification every three minutes and when having to take a little time to deal with something, feel they don’t have time or the patience to deal with it. Even when it is explained what it is…
I’ve been paying less and less attention to politics and world events the last few weeks but unfortunately have gotten enough daily updates to be frustrated, nonetheless. This White House administration has been the worst disappointment I’ve felt in my adult life. I can’t think of another one that made me feel sick for how…
Not sure if I can romanticize about tying a fly, but I do think about it often. I’ve been thinking about it more lately because I ran across my fly-tying box and brought it into the house. I thought, since I was going to be laid up for a bit, I might try to get…

During the campaign, Trump talked about Biden as being a senile old man and called him “Sleepy Joe”. Just add that to another of a long list of things Trump says about others but is actually projecting himself onto someone else. Over the last year, it has been a source of funny journalism for some…
Writers are a strange breed. Successful ones seem to have found the secret sauce. For many years of practice and dedication to writing seem to improve their style and ability to elicit a response with their words. I love to read and I love to write, but I don’t profess to be good, interesting, and…
In these days of more and more uncertainty, I find myself reminiscing of times with happiness and a blissful unawareness to politics, health insurance, and all the adult things we have to think about these days. The insanity in our federal government and chiefly our illustrious buffoon of a president and all his minions is…
When I was a kid, I never paid attention to politics and current events. I watch my granddaughter now living next door and am transported to a day when I was oblivious to things that make us adults shutter with horror. The Gestapo, aka ICE, has done it again and murdered another citizen of the…
