“Except for the people who were there that one day they discovered the polio vaccine, being part of history is rarely a good idea. History is one war after another with a bunch of murders and natural disasters in between.” — Sarah Vowell, book Assassination Vacation Source: Assassination Vacation (2005), p. 208 Well then. Merry … Continue reading MY KIND OF VIEW
Did you know that duck eggs are good for baking? Neither did I, but my wife sure knew. In fact, she was so convinced, that she had to have a dozen immediately. I'm talking midnight or after. Duck eggs must be purchased now! Perhaps I should explain. Anyone living with children in the house can … Continue reading DUCK EGGS
Hello everyone. Or shall I say ho, ho, ho? I'll just leave it at hello since there are never any cheap jokey references in my blog. As we draw near to the holidays, I have decided to regale you with my musical cunning, knowledge, grit, and some other buzz words that are big these days … Continue reading CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST

PSI represents pounds per square inch and is usually referenced in tire pressure in your vehicle. A quick Google search also turns up some sort of test proctor that seems to have inflated value of themselves. Inflated value. See what I did there? I didn't even use AI. I'm still quick witted at age 51 … Continue reading PSI
Pete. Pat. I hope this note finds you well and enjoying winter in Long Beach. My Patriots continue to reign supreme, while all New York teams are awful so that's good right? I think I still owe you a steak, although it was great fun the morning that I had my drum class call you … Continue reading DEAR PETE,
I was recently denied for the purchase of a new battery for my ceiling lift. This lift allows my wife the ability to lift me from my wheelchair to the toilet, and the shower. It is simple to use, and I installed the ceiling track and lift in my home in 2010. Insurance denied the … Continue reading HEALTH INSURANCE
As a kid, I loved trains. Most kids do right? They represent power, travel, strength, and the rise of machine doing the work previously done by man. Indeed, trains were the first mass transit that connected our nation from coast to coast (google: the golden spike), and today still carry people, goods, livestock, and the … Continue reading THE TRAIN
