I admit that I wrote this when I was in college. The year was 1979 and I was in my Art Buchwald stage. I still think it’s one of the funniest, and in the case of the opening, more ironic things I’ve written. Some things are just worth sharing again. The release of...

At the Bryn Mawr last night, I was having a great time performing. As I did my Medley, it suddenly occurred to me that my generation, The Boomers, are in real trouble. There I was, singing “Five foot, two, eyes of blue . . .” when the thought crossed my...

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have a voice in my head. Not several, mind you. Nothing too psychotic. Just a single voice. It’s been there as long as I can remember. If I were to describe it, it’s a lot like those cartoons with the little...

I’ve learned a valuable lesson in life. Never trust a horse. Or any car named after one. When I was a wee boy of 7 my family went horseback riding in Oregon. We summered there for several years and there was a stable across the street that offered horse rides on...

First, this isn’t a story of a conquest over a lass who was named Faith. I don’t need to blast my love life all over the Net. But it is a funny story, one that always makes my friends laugh. So, here we go. Many years ago I was seeing a woman from...

I continually laugh at the things I’ve done in my life. Some I will never share with anyone on this earth, of course. But this morning, I remembered a fun thing we did to my one time friend Buckwheat’s girlfriend, Denise. Suffice it to say she was not the...
