121. Playing Hoops at Latty's Grove
July 27, 2012
Wilhelm Street is perhaps a half mile long dead-ending into Downs Street on the south and Williams Street on the north. Through my high school years I lived with my parents and brothers smack dab at the south corner across the street from Gerald “G.J.P.” Louy; the J.P. stood for justice of the peace...

122. Independence Day (or Come Back Harry Truman!)
July 06, 2012
You know, folks, I’ve been a little hard on the cadre that comprises the US electorate, especially the twenty-and-thirty-somethings. I’ve accused them of focusing on pop culture, of not doing their own thinking, of having a very narrow focus relative to their worldly environment; of taking their fre...

123. THIMK!
July 04, 2012
The first time I noticed a THIMK sign was decades ago posted on office walls of a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. The concept behind it was that everyone should put their gray matter to use when on the job to avoid unnecessary screw-ups and to minimize lost productivity. The irony of the misspell...

124. The Time Traveler
June 29, 2012
Time travel into the past is a journey we each make when recalling a memory. For this treatise, I put a distinct spin on a recent recollection unique to my own worldview; and you know me—I’m a bit abstract (euphemism for “out there”). I chose to “leap” into the present from my teenaged past. I hope ...

125. California Dreamin'
June 24, 2012
I was born and raised a Midwesterner; and schooled there through completion of my undergraduate degree. Even so I consider Southern California my adopted home. It’s not a question of being disloyal to my roots, but a declaration of devotion to a place where my most significant life events occurred. ...

126. Thoughts of Defiance
June 11, 2012
First, I am not a defiant individual. Not at all. Smart-alecky? For sure. A rabble-rousing, status quo-disrupter? That’s me! (But, I like to do it with stealth.) The defiance in this title refers to Defiance, Ohio, a hamlet located at the confluence of the Auglaize and Maumee Rivers. The name origin...

127. A Conversation with the Devil
May 24, 2012
Plummeting down a steep hill on 146th Street toward Greyhound Pass peddling hard, my bike reached top speed, whatever that is. It was wind-in-the-face, bugs-in-the-teeth exhilarating. The front wheel caught a rut at the bottom causing bike and body to obey the laws of physics. It took two constructi...

128. Mother's Day
May 13, 2012
On this day more than all others, it’s appropriate to reflect on that one person with whom you enjoyed the longest human relation of all; of she who loved you before you were born; of she who walked through the valley of the shadow of death to give you life. It turns out I’ve been thrice bl...

129. Graduation Daze
May 12, 2012
I drove past a local high school yesterday, which reminded me it’s graduation time—again. But dig this: no one asked me to give the commencement address—again. I mean c'mon, man, they really should! You see, I’ve lived a colorful, roller-coaster life, have plenty of worldly and worldwide experience;...

130. Cinco de Mayo
May 04, 2012
Dennis and I have been buddies since tenth grade. I won’t tell you how many decades our relationship has spanned, but long enough to finish college, graduate school, marry (Dennis claims he has been happily married and divorced numerous times), enter the world-of-work, and ride off into the sunset. ...
