Ninety-Five

Dorothy Moss, my Mom, is 95 today harmdor1@comcast.net In case you’d like to send her a note or contribute to some worthy cause in her honor or if you want to send cash to buy me that pony I’ve always wanted, which I’m sure would make her very, very happy.

Sound and Fury

It dawned on me, (and I’m embarrassed to say that it took this long), listening to the thirtieth or fortieth playback of Rudi Giuliani whining about Obama not loving America, in general, or any one of us, specifically, that the reason so little gets done is directly attributable to the non-productive…

Lying at Anchor

Can I get a show of hands of anyone who has embellished, exaggerated or out-and-out fabricated a story to make yourself seem bigger, better, braver or somehow more important than you really were in some real, partly real or wholly imagined situation?  Now, for those with their hands up, keep…

Je Suis Charlie!

I’m not much of a cartoonist.  I have one go-to, life-long obsessive Chilly Willy-skating-on-an-ice-floe-doodle that has been unconsciously drawing itself whenever I have found myself with paper, (napkins qualifying more often than not), pen or pencil and an odd moment or two at hand.  I have not thought it political…

2014

2014 was a bumpy joy ride For any number of reasons The economy grew, the RED states too And climate change brought us five or six seasons Congress was a bust It didn’t legislate a thing If you’re like me you’ve waited long enough To hear that fat lady sing…

Missing the Beat

I seldom look at FaceBook.  Not that I’m a snob about it, on the contrary, every time I go there, I fall into the bottomless pit, and after way too much time has passed, I find I have to claw my way out to get back to what I was…
