How I Spent the Pandemic (So Far)

admin August 7, 2020 No Comments

I’ve missed the seven of you. I know when I started dribble a long, LONG time ago I was writing everyday. And, like, three of you came to need my daily musings to set the correct course for your day. And, those same five of you have whined lamented that my dribbles have been reduced […]

I think we’ve all been dealing with this pandemic and all around strange time in the world right now in our own ways. One of my favorite things has been getting the occasional poem from my dear friend Kristofer. Enjoy these. Share them Follow Kristofer. Personally, Going Nowhere is my favorite, but they’re all good.

Last night I watched The Karate Kid for the first time since high school. I graduated high school (barely) in 1990. It’s been at least that long since I saw it last. And as much I loved Elisabeth Shue (the big hair, the popped collar, the knee socks – swoon), that particular movie wasn’t one […]

Disclaimer: Before we go on please note, I am not talking about grief. That’s a whole different beast, one that effects those of us left behind by the dead. If you can’t separate the topic of grief from the topic of death, or if you are grieving now it might be best to stop reading. […]

When I am 70

When I am 70 sign me up for the front lines. Don’t send the 19 year old getting started. No parent should have to lose their baby over the frivolities of old men. Don’t send the 34 year old raising a family. Let them savor the moments of tiny fingers and first steps, of tee […]

It was my third high school. I was sitting in Auto Shop Class. It was the only elective available for someone who transferred mid-semester. Mr Lingenfelter was talking about draining brake fluid when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I leaned back without turning around. Do you play bass? he asked. I was surprised at […]
