Summer is here. I can tell because I have 2 metric tons of dust in my lungs from mowing the other day. My electric meter is spinning like a skydiver’s altimeter when the parachute doesn’t open. And yellowjackets are buzzing around all angry…wait…they are never not angry. No matter, I know summer when I see […]

Legends of the Fall with Jason
There are many fears in life. Some are rational, some not so much. Politicians seem to deal only in fear nowadays, because it’s such an easy emotion to tap into and manipulate.

Recently I found a favorite tv show from my childhood streaming on Amazon…the one and only Fall Guy. I loved this show as a kid. I loved the song, the truck, the action, and Heather Thomas didn’t hurt my interest at all. After watching the pilot again with adult eyes, I implore any of you with […]
“Go condense your own milk”
Way back in the day, I had a book of the Top Ten lists that David Letterman would do on his late show. It’s been more years than I would care to think about since I’ve seen that book, but there are a few of those lists that stick in my memory. One was […]
