Who says, “Grow up and try to be age appropriate,” and who do they say it too? Your hair’s too long, your clothes don’t match, and you don’t smoke the same cigarettes as them. But that was a long time ago. Since 1966 we’ve learned how to find satisfaction.
MUNDANE LIFE? CONGRATULATIONS
May 6, 2024 by
Fear the mundane life, or celebrate the accomplishment? The more the pace of life speeds up, and you don’t, the more your effort shines. Who knew normal and ordinary could feel so good? But there’s a problem. Not everyone gets it.
PLACING BLAME IN THE RIGHT PLACE
May 1, 2024 by
What’s the best way of placing blame? Pointing a finger? Yelling? Or checking to make sure there’s anyone or anything to blame? What about the blameless among us who’ve never done anything wrong?
GUITAR PLAYERS OF THE PAST
April 30, 2024 by
My guitar friends say guitar players are the same from every era. Unlike current critics of the NBA who say past greats played against milkmen and plumbers and wouldn’t survive in today’s game, musicians from the past are just a request away. Or a documentary. I recently saw The Wrecking Crew.

April 10, 2024 by
Homeward bound is the goal of all travelers. First it’s all about getting out and around, seeing new places and new people. Then it happens. Whether a face, a building, or something you eat, you’re ready to turn the corner and head for home. That’s the story, but . . .
LIFE PLANS? MAKE THEM SOONER THAN LATER
April 6, 2024 by
Who makes life plans? Who has a life plan? I don’t, but my wife does. Always has. She’s got a plan for everything, then back-up plans for every possibility along with back-up plans for the back-up plans. But I knew this from the start. How?
