I'm a grown ass man. I know what I like. I know what I don’t like. The research phase portion of my life is over. And as a grown-ass man, I don’t have to eat anything I don’t want. Isn’t that the whole point of surviving childhood. Now apparently… As a grown-ass man, I’m also … Continue reading I’m not a picky eater.

Three Songs, One Playlist, and the Slow Death of Youth
I do a lot of driving. Not in a “Fast & Furious” way. More in a “middle-aged man silently evaluating his life at red lights” kind of way. Driving isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s actually one of the last socially acceptable ways to be alone. Just you… The road… And the radio. Or nowadays, … Continue reading Three Songs, One Playlist, and the Slow Death of Youth
On Probation
A Double Secret Probation. I love Milton. I really do. I’ve been here 25 years. That’s not a weekend visit. That’s not a “we’re thinking about moving here.” That’s two and a half decades of property taxes, town events and parades and waving at people I don’t remember meeting. Milton is the perfect town size: … Continue reading On Probation
Winter Is a Personal Attack
There was a time not so long ago when I didn’t mind the cold. In fact, one might say I embraced it. Even more than that, I didn’t mind the extreme cold. For, when I was young, winter meant one thing – it meant that Spring was around the corner and with that came track. … Continue reading Winter Is a Personal Attack
All These Years
Santa Claus ….. The Easter Bunny ….. The Tooth Fairy …. See, these are plausible. Believable even. As a young boy growing up in the 60s and 70s, I was raised in a culture to believe in things that I couldn’t understand. But I knew it. I just knew it. If Santa Claus didn’t exist … Continue reading All These Years
Who Is This Guy, Anyway?
Let’s talk about this “Frank” guy. Yeah… that Frank. The one everybody suddenly wants to be right before they drop a truth bomb in your lap. You know the line: “Can I be Frank?” Which basically translates to: “Hey, brace yourself, because I’m about to tell you something you didn’t ask for and may not … Continue reading Who Is This Guy, Anyway?
The Good ‘Ole Days
I’ve always been fascinated by history. Not just people and places, but I’m also fascinated by where something came from. Maybe it’s an object or something that happened and I want to know the origin of where it came from. Or perhaps it’s a phrase that we use in our own culture. As you might … Continue reading The Good ‘Ole Days

Opposites Attract
But …. Do they? Sure, Paula Abdul sang the song “Opposites Attract”, but do they? Let’s think about magnets. Yes, these opposites do indeed attract. But not only do the opposites attract, the same like polls will actually push away from each other. The other day I was driving, it was just me and the … Continue reading Opposites Attract
There Are Rules
We live in a society of rules. When rules aren’t followed, the general framework of daily life breaks down. I’m not talking about laws. Laws are different. Laws are written down and more importantly, if laws are not followed, then there are consequences and punishments. Rules are a different breed. No, I don’t know what … Continue reading There Are Rules
