I’ve never been through a pandemic and a massively corrupt government before, so it leaves me with questions. First, what wine pairs well with the downfall of Democracy? Oh sure, you might say that I am being overly dramatic, but am I really? Since the decay of our form of government seemed to start slowly,…
I find it really hard to be light-hearted and funny during a Trump pandemic. Oh sure, there’s still lots of funny things going on, like people who have pictures of mouths put on their masks. That’s funny. And lot’s of funny posts and tweets: Warning! DUI checkpoints being put up between the living room and…
Who says California does not have a high-speed train? We are on one right now, hurtling at an unGodly speed towards the holidays. Thanksgiving threw us for a loop by happening on the flippin’ 28th of November. WTF People-In-Charge-Of-Calendars?

One hour!” I queued up to the catering truck, eagerly…
An election year is truly a polarizing event. Actually, it’s more like Halloween. Because people you see every day, people you usually get along with, suddenly appear before you wearing the ghastly costume of reactionary conservatives (or uppity liberals, depending on which side of the fence). With the election looming in the distance like a…
We Boomers have every bit as much to offer as the Millennials or the Gen-X’s or the Gen-Y’s. Hell, we invented the world as they know it. But to bridge the generation gap, or chasm, we need to stay relevant. So here are some safety tips for dealing with the young whippersnappers. 1. Upgrade everything.…
I saw my first Christmas commercial ten days before Halloween this year. Well, okay technically it wasn’t a “Christmas” commercial.
