Many people vote for the wrong reason. Many folks vote for a particular person because their spouse tells them who to vote for. Others vote for a particular candidate so they can tell their friends who they voted for and only because the friend keeps asking in order to intimidate him or her vote. SometimesContinue reading “Wrong way voters”

Follow the bouncing ball.
Watching and watching. Way back when our youngest daughter-40 was only youngest daughter-3 Sheba(aka spouse) and I took youngest daughter to the science museum in Boston. This was back when Sheba was in grad school at Simmons College 1986. When you enter the main lobby of the science museum there was a large squareContinue reading “Follow the bouncing ball.”
The Freshman 24/7.
 College Freshmen are the more stupider. First semester of my freshman year I thought I could juggle two jobs along with the last week of my college classes. I was in the final week before Christmas break December 1962. Our class counselor told me of a seasonal job at the Sears west coast catalogueContinue reading “The Freshman 24/7.”
I’m walking, yes indeed I’m Walking.
My kids don’t believe me. I had walked two miles or more one way each day to and back from school. Starting in kindergarten and still walked everyday all the way through my senior year in high school. Rain, sleet, ice storms, snow, Wild fire, earthquake, barking dogs, panhandlers, and cracked sidewalks. All walking throughContinue reading “I’m walking, yes indeed I’m Walking.”
Is it Junior High or Middle School?
Junior high or middle school as they call it now was just a fog for me. I seemed to sleep through the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade. I’d rather had swept the city streets with a Wisk broom back then. However, the redeeming thing about junior high was the various shop classes. Wood shop, metalContinue reading “Is it Junior High or Middle School?”
I need to use a pay phone.
Charlie boy, phone home. I absolutely don’t know how I did it. Did it without loss of limb or life. But I did get through it all with no major or minor difficulties. I made it easily through junior high and high school without a cell phone. However, there were two payphones in the mainContinue reading “I need to use a pay phone.”
I’m not running for President.
The theatrical mask of conservatism. If I were running for President I would NOT invoke the name of Ronald Reagan. He is the reason missiles were shipped to our enemy Iran. Iran then sent payment to the far-right wing military group the Contras in Nicaragua. A ploy against the recent law made in congress prohibitingContinue reading “I’m not running for President.”
If Judy Bloom wrote for pre-teen boys.
A close shave. I grew up in Southern California with clueless Okie parents. It was the dust bowl survivors meet Ozzie and Harriette. Misfits all of us. We had no social skills much less me remembering to not burp when in the cafeteria at lunch. I would have to admit myself an early teen boyContinue reading “If Judy Bloom wrote for pre-teen boys.”
But everything is painted a horrid blue.
Yes, I attended Pepperdine University. But not the campus located on the scenic western hills of Malibu, California and just up from the Pacific Coast Highway. Not the one with Spanish architectural designs with adobe and red tile buildings and dormitories. No not the one overlooking the vast expanse of the peaceful Pacific ocean. NoContinue reading “But everything is painted a horrid blue.”
