MASK WEARING GIG LINE DANCE vs YOUR FREEDOM

November 19, 2020 by

First, mask wearing is not a gig line violation. What is a gig line: put your finger on your chin and drop it straight down in a line that ends at the bottom of your crotch. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Chin to crotch, a straight line from top to bottom. Got it? Good. A gig […]

FAMILY MAN? WHO WERE YOU BEFORE THAT

October 11, 2020 by

Every man is a family man until it’s time to do what family men do. “But, Dave, what do family men do?” I’ll answer before you ask, because you were going to.

HAPPY PLACES, BECAUSE WE NEED MORE THAN ONE

September 18, 2020 by

Happy places hard to find? It’s the virus pandemic, the lockdown, broiling temperatures, and forest fires. It’s the political right, political left, the politically disconnected. It’s President Trump, former VP Joe Biden, and the specter of a stealth third party candidate swaying the vote. Anyone but you, right? You’d be in your happy places if […]

EQUALITY EXPLAINED, OR “SO YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME, DO YA?”

September 7, 2020 by

Is equality ever explained in a rational way without some tag along. It’s “equality, but,” or, “equality when,” or some such qualifier, like only a conjunction conveys the ‘real truth.’ The problem is that equality explained with a qualifier is never equal. See, equality doesn’t need qualifiers, which is a reason to fight. But why […]

WONDER WHY NO ONE ASKS, “WHERE ARE THEY NOW?”

August 21, 2020 by

Who doesn’t wonder about people from different parts of life and wonder why they left, or why you left? Something happened. If it wasn’t something that required therapy or the law, an occasional ‘wonder why’ happens. And it’s okay. Yeah, I feel better, too.

WESTERN EDGE OF NORTH AMERICAN COVID DREAM

August 8, 2020 by

The Pacific Ocean at sundown with clouds catching the last dream of an Oregon day. If you still have dreams, do you share them? Do you know how to share a dream? Me neither, but I still try and work it out. See if this is helpful:

FLOWERS CELEBRATE AS SEASONS COME AND GO

July 16, 2020 by

Flowers celebrate every year on this fence. They all wait their turn to shine. The last one never sees the first one. The queen of the fence asks, “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see.”

NEEDY READERS? GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT

July 15, 2020 by

What do needy readers want? Tastes change, fads come and go, but the top selling book of all time is pretty clear. Across all platforms one book stands higher than all the rest. Do you need a hint? Think ‘Tale of Two Cities.’ Wait, that’s the title. Damn. The big question: Is it worthy? What […]

DREAMS DIE? NO, THEY GET CROWDED OUT BY NEW DREAMS

July 7, 2020 by

Dreams die, or seem to die, because that’s what dreams do. Does anyone remember the dream they had last night better than the dreams they had as kids? When a dream is memorable as an adult, which way do they go: nightmare, or comfort? I lean toward the anxious side.

FRIENDSHIP FEAR: WHAT DO THEY REALLY WANT?

June 26, 2020 by

Friendship fear doesn’t start early. If you’re watched toddlers in daycare, they’re not afraid of new people. It doesn’t start in the neighborhood either. The bigger concern for young kids are older kids pushing them around. Unless you grew up in a bully-free zone, which is a homeschooled only child living under strict rules of […]
