I am a writer. There, I said it. It’s taken me years to admit that that is what I truly am. Of course, I am really much more than that. I have a huge creative streak that manifests itself in so many ways, from creating art cars long before there was such a...

I seem to have a lot of clutter these days. I’m sure we all do. Over the course of days, weeks, months, years and decades we seem to end up with more stuff than we really need. Thankfully, in my physical life, moving multiple times has shed me of most of my...

A couple days ago I was watching a special on PBS. I’m not usually the PBS type of guy, largely because I hate sitting through all those interminable pleas for money. They only seem to show really good stuff when there is a fund drive. This night was an...

I once had a love of mine tell me that I led a big life, one that she could never see herself being a part of because her life was relatively small, and she liked it that way. I didn’t really understand what that meant at the time. After all, it’s hard if...

Some time ago I mentioned that I had never purchased a new bed in my life. I know this sounds a bit strange, me being on the flip side of five decades and still not owning a new bed. That’s not to say I never had a bed. I had one that a dead uncle had once,...

There always seems to be that one guy. You know the one. We call them odd man out or like the old Life cereal commercial, it’s a Mikey who eats anything. He’s the go to guy when any misadventure calls, or the first one to volunteer to do something crazy,...

Being out in the real world affords me new opportunities to observe the world around me. I confess, it’s really not that interesting. Even though I ride the new and improved “E” Line of Metro to work every morning, it’s still filled with all...
