1. GOOD TRAVEL AGENT
October 16, 2024
This is the second in a series of three essays written to explore the subject of romantic relationships. The first was entitled BAD ROMANCE—perhaps some of you read it. To be precise, in that article I was not referring to a “sad” romance—you know, a little one-or-two-week affair that went square. N...

2. BAD ROMANCE
September 15, 2024
INTRODUCTION: In a way, this essay is the result of an assignment—yeah, like in school. I do not profess to be an expert about the subject herein, but I am a widower in a 55-plus community of my ilk and others who’ve been divorced, so the old game of seeking out new partners is in full swing. It’s p...

3. ANOTHER DESERT ADVENTURE
June 09, 2024
February 1, 2023 is forever burned into both my conscious and subconscious minds. Try as I may, I cannot wish it away. It hangs out there like an unpleasant odor—worse, like a fart in church (to complete the metaphor). What I mean is that it’s not an enjoyable recollection; rather it’s like Septembe...

4. PALM SPRINGS ADVENTURE
May 01, 2024
This past March I met my daughter and son in Indio, California, at a rented house that was headquarters for the time we spent in the area. We were there to attend the PNB Paribas tennis tournament at Indian Wells. The trip and event have become a family tradition. Sadly, the last two years have been...

5. 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...

6. 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...

7. 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...

8. 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...

9. CHRISTMAS and ROMANCE
November 14, 2022
Here we go again. Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of….wait a minute—it doesn’t go that way. This is the seventh Christmas-themed essay I’ve written for www.amazines.com over the last 12 years. The previous six articles are listed at the end of this blurb along with a short description of each should...

10. 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...
