Are we butterflies, birds, barnyard animals, or people? I don’t remember when I first heard the phrase, “If you love someone, set her free…” The implication being that you cannot capture someone to love. Like a butterfly that might be damaged during capture, forever destroying the beauty, setting free the creature you wish to possess … Read More »

Backwards And In High Heels
I’m known for being able to dance as well as I sing. Make no mistake. I can’t sing. Jim Carrey’s The Mask was an entertaining movie made more so by the dance scene with Cameron Diaz. If I were gay back then, I would have been in love with her. Diaz is a Southern California … Read More »

99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall
Has anyone actually made it through all 99 verses? I’m not much of a beer drinker, though I’ve had my moments. The taste and variety of beer varies tremendously, but I’ve never become accustomed to warm. Perhaps chilled beer is an American infatuation. I’ve been to Europe and Asia.

101 Days
Is life a race, or a destination? Starting now, it is both. A person’s life often is measured in years and accomplishments. Seldom is a person’s life measured in days. Here is my race to add a few days to life. “Two, maybe three months.” Solemn, soft spoken, yet surprisingly cool and distant words with … Read More »

Life’s A Bitch, Then You Die
No one promised that life would be a rose garden. I don’t subscribe to a particular or singular philosophy of life, and it’s probably too late in the game to go searching for one. Adopting a philosophy is much easier looking back than looking forward. Most of what I use as my personal philosphical views … Read More »
