Here’s Johnny…………………………………..

After almost 19 months, I’m back. Why? Why was it so long? Because I got a job and we all know that the machinery of capitalism is oiled by the blood of its workers. And like you, I am again one of them. Bleeding heavily. But I have already re-claimed my American sense of complacency and […]

Now That I’m 40, How ‘Bout A Bucket List ?

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. So as I announced Wednesday, yesterday was my 40th birthday. I made it. Sometimes there was some question as to whether that would happen. But over the last four or five years, I increased the chances quite a bit by settling into a more sedentary lifestyle. That certainly helped. So where am […]

Counting my blessings for 2009

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. I’ve noticed in the last 30 days or so how a handful of people have addressed me in a very soothing, friendly, caring tone about how I shouldn’t worry; the year 2010 is going to be much better ” than this past year was for me “. These reassurances come from […]

My resolutions for 2010

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……. Well, the end of the year is coming near and not a moment too soon. I think I speak for the majority of us who feel that 2009 sucked. Big time. So with that in mind, I am pretty jacked for the coming year. It absolutely can’t get any worse. I […]

I don’t mean to ‘diss these Bulls

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. It really just dawned on me last night that so far this season, I really hadn’t talked about the Chicago Bulls at all. I did make a prediction about them in my Dirty Dozen prophecies. I said they will be 43-39 at the very best this year. They are actually more […]

A tribute to a good man, a friend

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. Usually I would espouse on the last episode of Survivor that aired on Thursday night, but I wanted to celebrate someone special that deserves mentioning. On Friday afternoon, I got together with some of the boys from the fantasy baseball league that I play in. We had some beers and made several toasts. […]
