This has been in my thoughts for quite awhile and time hasn’t settled any of it.  I hate cheaters.  I hate liars.  I hate thieves.  I don’t know how we are always supposed to bend over, grab the jar of vaseline, drop our pants, and say, “Hey, it’s OK!  They’re young!  They made a mistake!” Continue reading Cheaters, thieves, and liars →

It’s starting to feel like a typical desert fall…I’m freezing my tush off by about 11 p.m. if the windows are open.  Yes, I’m a desert adapted used to live in the cold woods in Idaho and Montana.  Once you acclimate to the temperature changes, you’re freezing when it hits 60…no shit!

Greg and Amy are now husband and wife – and aren’t they just a damn fine looking couple?

Continue reading It’s official →

Last night was a wedding rehearsal dinner for two of my favorite people – Greg and Amy.  This evening they will exchange vows.  WOW!  It’s really refreshing to see two people together that want to be together.  They are both incredibly great people and I feel my life has been enriched by having them join my path.  We will be friends forever for I can’t believe anything would ever happen that would take that special bond from us.

You have to get into head trips to be able to get into the title of this post.  But here’s a brief touch on explaining. Continue reading Coming down from nowhere →

as it whips across the desert.  From seemingly nowhere it springs into a tornado force with no rhyme or reason other than to move across the land as fast as possible.  I keep waiting for the rain to hit my section of dirt as I watch it come across the mountains hanging in dark, wispy curtains from the clouds above.  The wind hits again in a devastating blast that rocks the coach and birds struggle to remain airborne as it hurls them back and forth like an out of control yoyo at the end of a string.

The moon is in my line of vision the last few nights as she comes up over the salt cedars that ring the shed.  I have no idea why I have such a fascination with the moon.  Maybe the night owl part of me or the evil side that likes the cover of darkness…who the hell knows? Continue reading She’s a Beauty! →

As I watch Aces get crushed one more time, ugh, no my view isn’t about poker because if it was right now in the current state that I seem to be holding cards and getting trounced, I’d have to contemplate suicide.  Since I’m not in the mood to contemplate suicide and I can’t control a frigging deck of cards – *note, I couldn’t control a deck when I dealt poker for a living in B&M either.* – I’d rather focus on the things that make me smile. Continue reading My View →

so does the days of our lives…soap opera not revisited.  I had to leave early today to make the trip into Vegas to visit the tooth fairy dentist to pick up the hard retainer I’m supposed to wear at night when I want to gnash my teeth…perhaps we should market these things at poker games.  Continue reading As every thing goes →

cake in my hair…OH NO! It seems like yesterday that I watched her being weighed in, measured, and bundled into a tiny ball in a blanket and thrust into my arms where I got to experience her very first sneeze in life.
