Stories, poems, and things that have happened in my life. I think they’re kind of amusing. I hope you will too.
Since separating from my wife about two years ago, I’ve mostly lived in Air B&B’s. I spent some time at a friends house here and there, but I don’t feel comfortable imposing on my friends and I’ve also been eager to try out different areas of town. I’d like to get a feel for where …
For almost twenty years, I ran a consulting practice. I designed and built systems for businesses. I developed a content management system for a major media company. I designed a filming permit system for the city of Los Angeles. I created a costing system for an integrated chip manufacturer. I’ve installed, maintained and upgraded systems …
During my 23-year marriage, my ex-wife and I had an open relationship. This had little or nothing to do with why the marriage ended. It is merely a fact. It isn’t much more interesting than bowling; we did that too. We bowled together most of the time but, if we wanted to, we were free …
I like my iPhone. It’s a few generations old, so I don’t have the animojis (I wish I could be a talking unicorn, but I can’t justify the expense). I have a MacBook that I carry with me, and a Mac Mini on my desk at home. I also have an Ipad. Oh yes, and …

Perhaps some have multiple, possibly concurrent, mid-life crisis. While others have none. I’ve had a few myself, so I think it’s a universal thing but, this …
Dear PETA, I read your recent tweet, and I see that you’ve been watching English idioms like a hawk. You’re mad as a hornet about “bringing home the bacon”, but culture changes at a snail’s pace. You’re busy as a bee, trying to open a can of worms but the rest of us don’t want …
Turn up the clock as you wind back the page.Dogs act like ponies as you show your age. Picture of ass and a piece of good health.Share the surprise when you’re taken by wealth. Stick to a head when you’re forging your guns.Work off your fancy while I tickle your buns. At the drop of …
