I am an addict. There, I said it. I didn’t really know I was one until this weekend. I flew in from the other side of the country. As such, I didn’t have any coffee. I never drink coffee when I fly because I know I will end up having to pee like a...

My memoirs have brought back a lot of memories for me and it’s been fun to share them with the world, including my friends, many of whom are in it, usually for good reasons. While I was still in Port Orchard, living the vida loca in Washington State, I started...

As most of you know, I am in the process of moving. Ah, that gypsy spirit, once again sending me across country in search of adventure… or income… or… It’s an unusual time here at the old housienda. I have been traveling back and forth between...

As a guy, I am a bit unusual. At least for a straight guy. You see, I like musicals. I always have, ever since Mary Poppins sang “A Spoon Full of Sugar” and Dick Van Dyke danced with animated penguins on the big screen at the Roxy Theater in Renton. I love...
