If you are a Baby Boomer or Gen X then you probably remember the TV show Cheers. Millennials and Gen Z might not but maybe they caught it on The Netflix. Cheers was the local watering hole for a bunch of colorful characters who made it their home away from home. The bar was helmed by Sam Malone along with his fellow bartenders Coach and Woody, and his cocktail waitresses Diane and Carla. Rebecca came in later to help him…
Not those kind of dreads! BTW, that’s my friend Liz Kidder. She’s a kick ass thru-hiker and an accomplished dreads artist. Sometimes I’ll bring up my blog and hit the widget on the side of the page that brings up a random blog post I wrote. How narcissistic is that? Today’s random post was one I wrote back in 2017 that was a prompt from the below book. I had to list things that I dread during the day. When…
***WARNING*** Since you may not be familiar with the British euphemism in the title for the male reproductive organ, I am giving you a heads up. Wow, that pun was totally not intended but works out just fine. Anyway, this post will contain content of a sexual nature. If that is not your bag, baby, then you should bail now. Furthermore, it will contain sexual content personally related to me and my blunderland of a body. That should be a…
Hey, you guys! I popped my author series cherry! I published a second book in a series! Click on the image below to read all about it on my author site! Hehe, I made you touch a popped cherry!
It’s true! Podcasts seem to have increased in popularity in recent years. They would probably be even more popular if older Gen X and Baby Boomers didn’t think they were some exotic technology best left to Millennials and Gen Z. It’s basically just like listening to people talk on the radio except you listen on your computer or phone. Anyway, the point of this post is not to educate you on podcasts, it’s to let you know that I was…
This whole post is going to sound like a bunch of whining from beginning to end about getting to do something I always dreamed about. So let me preface it by saying I am very grateful for what I got to do, because not many people get afforded the same opportunity. That being said, isn’t it more fun to read about how things go wrong and the obstacles you must overcome to get them to go right? So whining, but…
I’ve been on a 90’s kick here recently. Not sure why. Maybe because I almost died and the 90’s remind me of a time in my life when I was a young adult and very much alive! A lot of good things happened to me back then. A lot of bad things happened too. When I package it all up and look at it as a whole, it comes off as a Bitter Sweet memory. For some reason every time…
I wrote a short story. That’s 👆 the name of it. Check it out over on my author’s site if you want.
“Mr. and Mrs. Lovelace,” the vet tech said to us. “We can offer you a couple of options for your pet. We can have him cremated and returned to you in an URN or we can cremate him and humanely dispose of the ashes.” “Neither,” I replied. “Where I come from, a man buries his own dog.” Last Friday we lost Sawyer and I am completely devastated. I’ve lost dogs before but I knew it was coming then. This totally…
I was poking around in my drafts folder today and found this unfinished post from years ago. I decided to finish it. I first learned the power of the written word when I was 15 years old. You should know that I’m the kind of person that has real trouble articulating my thoughts. There is like a short circuit or a delay between my brain and my mouth. Five minutes after a conversation I often find my self thinking “I…
