My season in Hollywood. My cousin Don lived on Cherokee Avenue in an apartment just off Hollywood Boulevard. He was a postal worker at the Hollywood branch of the Post Office. At that time, I was in high school. Some weekends I would take the bus from my home in East L A to theContinue reading “My star on the walk of fame?”

That was a close shave.
Just a close shave. Darn! My electric shaver is broke. The head and foil has come apart. I thought I had another to replace it with but discovered I do not. This got me to thinking. What if I grew a beard? I tried it once or twice when in college. The miscellaneous scruff IContinue reading “That was a close shave.”
Come on into my studio.
How to record music. Back in the early 1980s and up in to the mid-1990s I owned and operated a recording studio. Recording all sort of virtuosos, song writers, small bands, big bands, country, Bluegrass, gospel, rock and you name it bands. I recorded harps and harpsichords. Choirs and even one woman laughing. I recordedContinue reading “Come on into my studio.”
Write me a story.
Stepping lively in her new pink New Balance running shoes, Michael Anna was speeding between ancient class buildings. In a big freaking rush to get to her Third-World Economic class she was to lecture as an adjunct. Being a first semester senior, she had agreed to occasionally lecture with the agreement that the university wouldContinue reading “Write me a story.”
But wait a minute buster.
They come to serve. I still get a big charge out of a wait staffer when coming to take your food or drink order at our favorite restaurants. Especially when they are a new hire. Our last encounter was with a young man probably a freshman college student at the nearby State University. Most likelyContinue reading “But wait a minute buster.”
I’m almost certain our toilet will be shown onYouTube.
I’m worried about Sheba my lovely and dedicated anonymous spouse. What worries me about Sheba is that in the not too distant past she has left the toilet lid up a time or two. Opened to the world to see. We have a community filled with kitties. All belonging to nearby neighbors. I’m afraid theContinue reading “I’m almost certain our toilet will be shown onYouTube.”
The more you pay the less you get.
Have you noticed this? Or am I the only one? They call it ‘Shrinkflation.” An example of shrinkflation is my granola bar I have been eating for years. My oat and walnut crunchy granola bar that I pay about a dollar for use to be about four and a half inches long. But after aboutContinue reading “The more you pay the less you get.”
They left Oklahoma this time of the year 1941.
They were third-world immigrants. Immigrants now leaving a life of hardship and primitive living behind. But not knowing what lies ahead. But anyway they are leaving a life with No running water, cooking on a wood burning stove, and a crudely built outhouse. Farming in rural southern Oklahoma was almost impossible. Farming was with anContinue reading “They left Oklahoma this time of the year 1941.”
Celebrating one’s own birthday is embarrassing.
Don’t like being the center of attention. Especially for my own inconsequential birthday. To me there is nothing about growing old that excites me enough to get silly and wear pointy hats. Here is my suggestion for celebrating birthdays. Just celebrate the zeros. Yes, just celebrate the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, etc etc. YouContinue reading “Celebrating one’s own birthday is embarrassing.”
Not certain of the ending yet.

A black woman who lives in New York but the two of them establishes a restaurant in Savanna, Georgia.Continue reading “Not certain of the ending yet.”
