61. One-Eighth of a Tank
July 11, 2016
Elmer Fudd answered, "Simple, Bugs, when I put on my right shoe, the other one is left." WHA...??? I crumpled the small, waxed-paper comic strip and threw it toward a nearby trash bin. I didn't "get" the joke; and something else was off: mainly, in that comic strip, Elmer Fudd didn't substit...

62. Once Upon a Dream
March 25, 2016
For decades I flourished on four to five hours of sleep a night, and in spite of the relatively short snooze, usually awoke refreshed and cheerful—jacked-up to meet the day. YETHIR! Besides, it annoyed me to hear experts say I had to spend one-third of my short life in a condition of unconsciousness...

63. The 2016 Elections: Best Comedy of the Year
March 04, 2016
Cue the circus music, roll out the goofy car filled with 34 baggy-pants clowns… You’ve got to admit the 2016 election cycle circus is entertaining. It reminds me of all that phony crap we see on TV rasslin’. It’s about as classy as roller derby. That’s also the sad part about the state of af...

64. Super Bowl 50: Give Cam a Break
February 14, 2016
Poor Cam Newton is taking a lot of heat for the results of Super Bowl 50. In case you missed the big event, the final score was Broncos 24, Panthers 10. Newton took quite a physical beating courtesy of the Denver Broncos unrelenting, swarming defense. The Carolina defense also played very well basic...

65. The Oscar Controversy: 2016 Version
February 11, 2016
The annual, self-congratulatory, beauty contest called the Oscars has hit a bit of a snag this year. The hubbub is about lack of diversity (or representation) on the so-called dignified panel of nominating “judges”; that is, those who decide what and who is worthy of recognition. Pardon me, but ho-h...

66. The Soulmate Myth
January 30, 2016
For me television programming has become more annoying, especially lately. Professionalism has flown right out the window. Examples: 1) Big hype in San Diego about the Holiday Bowl featuring USC and Wisconsin, except the Wisconsin highlights were of Nebraska. I guess they couldn’t tell the differenc...

67. The Holidays: Past & Present
January 08, 2016
My thoughts for this essay are about fourth quarter of 2015: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Day—the jolly Holiday Season, but mainly Christmas since the others are (for me) leadoff hitters for the main event. To review, Halloween led off with a homerun as chronicled in GHOST ...

68. Christmas Blahs
December 20, 2015
You know, when I was a young lad growing up in the Great Lakes area, Christmas season was a magical time. During that era, weather was quite different than it has been in recent years; that is, presently snow is rarely seen on Christmas and outdoor skating is totally an activity of the past because ...

69. Ghost of Halloween
November 06, 2015
Kissner’s saloon, sometimes sarcastically referred to as the Tea Room, in Defiance, Ohio was packed Halloween night 2015, the bar patrons anticipating the arrival of the Bud Widmer Rube Band after the musicians completed the parade route. The after-parade jam session is a Kissner’s tradition dating ...

70. A Perfect Storm of Self-Destruction
October 24, 2015
This is a difficult dissertation to write; not in terms of the actual composition, but in how to communicate context. (But isn’t that frequently the problem?) Writers are advised to respect readers, which I always strive to do; and therefore, hope you will receive the meaning in the spirit it is giv...
