She just walked away from it. It was 1956 and my 18-year-old oldest sister parked her 1937 Ford sedan in our back yard and she never drove it again. Never mind it was almost twenty years old and her very first car. A dusty relic far as she was concerned. A rolling museum antique. ManyContinue reading “One man’s car is another man’s low rider”

Look what I found.
posted by Chuck Ayers Empress Hotel Victoria British Columbia. Vancouver Island, March 1973. We all were coming down one of the hotel’s elevators and when we arrived at the main lobby, wife and I stepped out in to the lobby and ever so quickly the elevator door closed behind us. However our 3-year-old daughterContinue reading “Look what I found.”
Left holding the bag.
Air travel, kids, and throwing up. I will not name names but both daughters have upchucked more than once either before flying or inflight. And I say this because some other kids while flying seem to be okay with air travel. Meaning not throwing up. But there was this one time at about 25KContinue reading “Left holding the bag.”
What is this all about?
Ask Teddy Truman. Dear Teddy, I am a middle-aged white Republican woman. Plus, I am non-queer, married but recently widowed, and for sure binary. None the less, I was told by others to never call anybody queer. I am a she and female. A girl. I don’t get all this pronoun stuff and to beContinue reading “What is this all about?”
Book Report.
Book Report To be quite honest, I have had enough of books bloviating about the wealthy and the very pretty. Women with thin yoga bodies. Independently wealthy men. Fairy tales of idealist privileged people with unlimited resources and above average education. Too many books out there including improbable scenarios such as CEO’s and their spousesContinue reading “Book Report.”
Just dribble and shoot
Two finals during the NBA. It was during the 1993 NBA playoff final with Charles Barkley versus Michael Jordan. Or rather the Chicago Bulls going up against the Phoenix Sun. Two titans battling for the NBA championship. All of this seen on a tiny TV affixed up high on the wall in a delivery roomContinue reading “Just dribble and shoot”
Sing Songy waitperson.
Is she a waitperson or a childcare provider. Where do they all come from? There must be a school where one learns the language of sing-songy patronizing table waiting. There must be at least one per each restaurant. Pardon me if it seem a bit sexist but, what I’m trying to describe happens mostly withContinue reading “Sing Songy waitperson.”
A book you might read.
Book Report Many of you along with myself may have recently heard an NPR Fresh Air interview with Judy Blume. An interview more or less reviewing Ms Blume’s fifty-year-old bestseller “Are you their God. It’s me Margaret” as it was adapted into motion picture form. Ms Blume concurs that the movie adaptation pretty much followsContinue reading “A book you might read.”
I need to occupy my brain with something else.
Senior mind wanderer. I’m not sure it’s just mindless fantasizing or a sign of getting old. Especially getting old and not wanting it. Mind wondering back to teenage days. Teenage days as in thinking about teenage girls. Remembering Lucy, Vickie, Pat and Pat, Terry, Mr. Oddi the boy’s vice principal’s daughter Cheryl. What cuties theyContinue reading “I need to occupy my brain with something else.”
