1. AMERICAN DIGRESSION
April 10, 2024
I recall that during the 1970s that many mainstream USA-made products were of second-rate quality and reliability. This was most obvious with American-made cars of the period. It was intentional. There was an insidious business strategy. From roughly World War II until, say, 1975 Am...

2. DEATH and LIFE
August 15, 2023
When one’s long-time partner leaves—whatever the reason: breakup, walkabout, divorce, death—the survivor’s life is transformed. Sometimes the change is beneficial; and other times it may be heart-wrenching and bitter. According to behavioral scientists, all such occurrences are accompanied by trauma...

3. THE WIDOWER
March 22, 2023
This is an essay I hoped I’d never write. It’s a eulogy of sorts and I’ve been compelled to write too many of these over the past five years. Usually, the words flow easily and effortlessly for me. I just sit back and let loose without much effort—let fingers follow mind. But not this time. This tim...

4. GRAHAM GETS HIS WINGS
December 23, 2022
A few years ago, I wrote about my closest high school buddy earning his wings. Dennis Hull first soloed in a Cessna before graduation. Further, Dennis became a Wright Brothers expert as a docent at Pima Air Museum in Tucson and flew a 1911 Wright Flyer (twice) at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio...

6. ALPHABET SOUP
July 27, 2022
I notice the letters LGBTQ+ (or something like that) popup a lot these days especially in print and social media. The advocates claim all the hubbub is to make sure those with a different lifestyle get their “rights”, whatever that means. Okay. Well and good. Everyone deserves to pursue happiness an...

7. FORGOTTEN GLORY
October 01, 2021
My largest cohort of neighbors in the Arizona desert is from the Northwest; more specifically the state of Washington; even more specifically the Seattle area. Seahawks and UW paraphernalia adorn autos, homes, restaurants, and people.
Unfortunately, the origin of the region’s fame is not ac...

8. SENIOR YEAR MEMORIES
May 21, 2021
It’s been more than sixty years since I left high school, but a telephone call from my youngest brother, Thom, reminded me of some of the more whacky times of my senior year. My graduating class was vilified by teachers and administrators for being the so-called worst in school history. Acc...

9. LIFE CYCLE
April 04, 2021
Fear not Death; he’s not your master, Coming at you faster, faster. For the creator of Death (what or who) Also created thee. And that’s the only mystery. BURMA SHAVE Well, those aren’t factual Burma Shave roadside signs—the kind I saw as a lad—but they’re typical, right? The theme...

10. AMERICAN AMNESIA
March 07, 2021
I happen to love “today”. Little Orphan Annie sang about tomorrow, but I’m a “today” fan. Big time. We only get it once. You see, today is one unique day in all the days that will ever be. And according to actuarial tables, I don’t have many left. I want today to be peaceful, tranquil, and filled wi...
