Army vs. Navy
There was a story in the News of the Weird about two drinking buddies. One of the guys was in Army, the other was in the Navy, and they were arguing over which service was better. The Army soldier had a gun and ended up shooting the Navy man. And since the soldier had the […]
Last Night (An ode to my Strat)
You sit in the corner all dirty and dusty. It’s understandable. We partied like rock stars last night. I reach for your black zipper and slowly pull it down to the floor. I grab you by the neck and extract your from your soft black case that keeps you captive. You were so raw and […]

Ah-Ha Moments and Million Dollar Ideas

For others, they could care less if a celebrity dies. I fall in the later crowd over Michael Jackson’s death. It’s not that I didn’t […]
Happy Father’s Day
Today I feel like I am a part of an elite team of warriors. The members of our clan are often sleep deprived for weeks at a time. We’ve been forced to do things we would never do for ourselves. We’ve been thrown-up on, peed on, and been sneezed on directly into our mouths. No, […]
