The Lifetime Movie Network
Well, its finally here! Football season is upon us. It has been a very long lonely time since the NFL draft. You see, I am addicted to football. I don't even play fantasy football, (that would make me a geek) but I am NFL ready 24-7. I know there are many people out there sighing to themselves (all...

Who Is That Man Behind the Curtain
Today is my first anniversary as a member of Blogit. I am happy to say that I feel I have grown not only as a writer, but as a person, due to my association with the Blogit family. I do not use the word "family" lightly here. We are an entwined group here, of writers, and readers; crafting our...

Musings
The most beautiful sunsets, occur after the ugliest of storms. Your best friends, are your longest friends. Life doesn't suck after 50. Sometimes you gotta admit, you got just what you deserve. You know you have to work on being patient when you run into too many red lights. Being humble is not the...

Getting Antsy
I’m starting to feel better. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and I do think I am getting better. Sad to say I have been in a deep depression the last few months. It has been a long time since the NFL draft last April, and I have found it hard to go on. But I endured, bucked up, and...

Mike's Petting Zoo
It is nice to know that you are wanted. There is nothing better than knowing that when you get home after a hard day’s work there are going to be a host of people waiting for you to walk through the door. Well I am a lucky guy because that is the world I live in… except the folks waiting for me are...

High Style
People say that the hair cut makes the man. If this is true, don’t expect to see me on the cover of GQ anytime soon. Not that you would anyway mind you, the clothes I wear (shorts, t-shirt), suit the climate (Hot, and sunny) I live in. I digress, what I’m trying to say is that I am not very...

Playing "Big"
I was the middle of three sons. We were all one year apart. We were a constant pain in the butt for my parents. Because we were only a year apart in age, we were always competing. Competing with each other (meaning we fought a lot), and competing together against the neighborhood kids. We kids would...

Not Photogenic
When I was back at home on vacation a few weeks ago, I was over at Mom and Dad’s house for supper. My mom made sauerkraut and dumplings for me and dad like she always does when I come home. After supper my sister Pauline said “Hang around after supper, we are going to show the old home pictures.”...

Kamikaze Drivers
Like most people I have to work in order to make a living. One of the major problems with having to work for a living is that you have to drive to get there. I used to live in Rochester, NY. It is a mid sized city and the traffic jams are never very bad. I now live in Miami, FL. It is a major...

I Sing Like a Toad
Like most people, after a hard week of work I feel the need to decompress; you know let my hair down and have some fun. I often like to have fun by going down to the local watering hole where they have karaoke every Friday night. Like most of the people in there, it often takes me a couple of shots...
