I Think This Is My Last Post
Let me preface this post by saying that I am not a coward. I think that anyone who truly knows me would agree with that statement. I have been beat up, beat down, stomped on, spit at, kicked, stabbed, shot at, and been a tackling dummy for k-9 dogs in the course of my life. I’ve fought for my life...

For Alf or Anyone Who Cares
I have been a smoker much longer than I was a non smoker. I lit my first cigarette at fifteen when my dad was diagnosed with cancer and wouldn't quit the bad habit. I thought that I could infuriate him into quitting and all I succeeded in doing was to get myself hooked. Pretty stupid huh? I was a...

The Greatest Man I Ever Knew
I could never write a book about my father. You know how the truth is always better than fiction...? Well, I wish that everyone in the world could have known my dad. He was an enigma, wrapped in a question, and enclosed in a puzzle, at least to me. My father was born in a small town in the mountains...

The man barely said hello before he began to hit me with some serious sales tactics. Apparently he joined one of those MLMs and all of a sudden...

Is There Really A God?
Now please don't yell at me, I know that this is NOT the Religion and Spirituality page. If you've read my about me page you already know that I am a declared agnostic. I wasn't always so. I did the Catholic school thing, as a matter of fact I even went to a Catholic college. My children both attend...

Do People Still Care Enough To Help Each Other?
Way back some years ago when I was a rookie cop, much longer than I care to remember, I was in roll call one morning right before Christmas when the call came out that there was a woman in the subway tracks not far from our headquarters. Being a rookie, and still young, I ran as fast as I could,...

What to do... What to do...
I saw a young cop verbally abusing a homeless person today, and thankfully didn't do what I was first inclined to do because: 1. I'd hate prison 2. Bullets are expensive 3. I'm a peaceable man Anyway after reeducating the officer in question, time well wasted I'm sure, I began to think of all of the...
