Sickos.

I went to a party a couple days ago. As is often the case, I tend to be one of the older ones who attends. I guess that happens over time. You stop going to the parties of friends who are older than you largely because they’re not having parties any more –...

The Circle of Life.

I went to Jimmy Buffett’s concert last Tuesday night in Seattle. Truth be told, I’ve seen him many times before, even in Florida a time or two, until the price of a single ticket soared above $125 and I bailed out of Margaritaville. Yes, there were the...

A Chunky Monkey Memory.

It’s taken a long time for me to realize that my brain works a bit differently than most of the people I know. I guess I just assumed everyone’s brain was as random as mine, pulling in stuff from all over the place and twisting and turning it into...

The Winter Of My (Dis)content.

After 80 days of sunny, mild days, fall has finally arrived. It came without warning on Friday. I’m sure others would argue that it arrived much earlier, but the crisp wisp of air that defines the season for me was absent until I stepped out of my home Oct. 12....

If I Only Nude Then What I Know Now.

Funny how the world has gone full circle. When I was a kid, I liked to be naked. I guess every kid goes through that period where they decide that clothes are simply not for them. After all, running around buck naked is pretty fun when you’re a kid. It’s...

A Stormy Decision.

The Weather Channel has decided to play weather god around the country. Taking a cue from the National Weather Service which names hurricanes and cyclones, the folks at the Weather Channel decided we should have names for major winter storms. I guess they never...

No Mind Games For Me.

I was watching the boob tube a couple nights ago. As usual, I got sucked into some show on a science channel. It was covering all sorts of topics about advances in science and technology and how the two twains would one day meet in marvelous ways. One of the subjects...

Watts The Big Deal?

I have a way of finding myself on the wrong side of the tracks. Not only in a vehicle, but often in relationships. Some of my friends envy me for my many adventures. I don’t really know why. More often than not, the most memorable adventures happen in my life...

A Really Good Sub Plot.

Many years ago my once wife worked as a chamber of commerce director. More precisely, she was the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce Director. Her task was to turn the failing organization around, which had suffered a little bit of scandal as well as some financial...

My Britches Are Too Big.

I have had an ongoing problem for as long as I can remember. No matter how old I am or how much weight I gain, my britches are always too big. Well, they’re not to me. To me, they are just right. But it seems others think that I am too big for them. I...
