I have to say that the middle of February is fast becoming my favorite time of the year. No, it’s not because of Valentine’s Day. I already covered my revelations on that issue. Rather, it turns out that in 2012, it is the intersection of two important...

Like everyone else in this land of ours, I get a bad case of VD once a year. I guess I’m just not being careful about how I maintain my relationships and I get a little sloppy now and then. I know that in this day and age, I should be exercising the proper...

Many years ago, I went to see a band called the Landsharks in concert. I loved Jimmy Buffett music a lot at the time, and had been sucked into the Parrothead vortex of grass skirts, blended drinks and palm trees. When I found out the band was coming to town, I was...

As some of you know, I have been on the lam in Seattle for the better part of a week, and there’s still a couple days to go before I wrap up all my business here and head back to Florida from whence I came. This has been a long journey back to the homeland, one...

At times, I feel like I’m the only one on this earth that can look down the road and see what’s coming up in our country. Oddly, this is not a RobZerrvation on our economy, gun control, immigration or any other politically charged subject, well, at least...

As with many people my age, I have a lot of pain. Some of it is self-inflicted, other pain is from injuries over the years. My knees hurt because of the years of doing parades with the Seafair Pirates. A word to younger pirates out there, do not run full tilt down an...

For the last 11 days, I have been in Key West playing pirate. It’s a hard life, I know. It was there that I was surrounded by some of the most debased individuals on earth. Unreliable, uncouth, foul-smelling folks who would steal everything from you if they...

A friend asked me a couple days ago about whether I liked to play games. And while there are many in my life who would say, “oh, yes, he likes to play games with others” that’s not what I am talking about. I’m also not talking about being a...
