21. WORDS, SPINMASTERS & DECEPTION
December 19, 2019
Words… Racism is a word that has pretty much lost power due to frequent and deliberate misuse; especially by a political party whose history has been blatantly racist. During my lifetime, I recall vociferous integration opponents emerging from their dugout; viz., George Wallace, Orval Faubus...

22. HUMAN BEHAVIOR
November 24, 2019
As a writer, and during a past life in the corporate world, I’ve always been a student of human behavior; curious about how and why individuals and groups act and react to normal and abnormal situations. Am I just naturally inquisitive or downright nosy? Probably both, but I’ve always felt that good...

23. KICKIN' IT ON ROUTE 66
November 10, 2019
So, I’m relaxing by listening to the George Shearing quintet, sipping an Old Fashioned, and recalling a telephone conversation I had several days ago with a lifelong friend who lives two hours away in Tucson. We reminisced about a time more than 50 years ago when we made the trip west to what was th...

24. LAST DANCE with the (faux) IRS
October 22, 2019
Recently, I wrote an essay entitled, SLIPPING AWAY, which was published by this online magazine. You know how you get those “I should have said” moments? Well, this blurb is one of those; that is, perhaps happenings I should have mentioned in that essay.
There’s a Ben Sidran song performed b...

25. SLIPPING AWAY
September 13, 2019
It had been one of those bad days; a day so bad you might not brush your teeth just to project halitosis on those around you. You know the kind I’m talking about; one of those out-of-kilter days when everything rubs you wrong; the kind of day that puts you into a greasy, black funk, and momentarily ...

26. Where Have the 58ers Gone?
August 06, 2019
I met Susan Joan Black Bacon in the sixth grade when she was just plain ol’ Susie Black. She was uncommonly tall with short black hair, and like many adolescents (myself included), a bit gawky. At that period in time, parents in my hometown got bamboozled into entering kids my age, and a year or two...

27. TENNIS ANYONE?
July 25, 2019
Last April my essay about Pickleball was published under the title, PICKLEBALL: A Strange (but Compelling) Hybrid: amazines.com articleid 6256234. In it I explained that the game is a cross-pollination of badminton, ping pong, and tennis; and played on a paddle tennis court—court dimensions are also...

28. LIGHT ANOTHER CANDLE
July 08, 2019
Happy Birthday to me! (Well, that was almost a month ago, and I’ve been procrastinating about writing this essay ever since.) That’s right, June 12 was the big day, and I ponder the miracle. Not the marvel that I’m still alive. I chalk that up to good genes, and a healthy and active lifestyl...

29. IN A WORLD OF UNPLEASANTRIES
May 02, 2019
Some of you may recall my essay entitled, “Hate & Discontent: The New American Paradigm”, published by www.amazines.com January 11, 2017. I offer the following as a “booster shot”. Remember the so-called Christian values of, say, the 1950s and before? Those ideals of yesteryear have been, si...

30. PICKLEBALL: A Strange (but Compelling) Hybrid
April 08, 2019
When I heard the term Pickleball, I found the word off-putting. See, I never liked the idea of naming sports after vegetables. I had the same problem when I used to play Squash Racquets—or just plain Squash—and worried that American “football” (a misnomer if there ever was one) would be renamed Wate...
