Since No One Else Wanted to Take the Challenge, I took it myself I gave out three scenario challenges on my last blog post, Creative Writing, The Navy Seal Way.  For those of you who didn’t read it, it’s at the end. No one wanted to take the challenge so, I took scenario number three myself.  I wrote it in twenty minutes, The Navy Seal Way.  It took me 30 seconds to create each basic chal Read More

You Have Writer’s block?  That’s Pathetic. We Have a Program Just for You:  Creative Writing, the Navy Seal Way

Well, I don’t usually have writer’s block when I put my mind to it, but I do have lulls in creativity I suppose.  This creativity is frequently bulldozed into the grave by overwhelming fatigue by my real job: saving lives and stamping out disease including the Wuhan virus and pestilence.  I saw this ad though, in a writer’s conference program and I thought, damn, that sounds both challenging and si Read More

Church on Easter, 2022: A Personal Reminder of April 10, 2013

It was April 10, 2013, and I suddenly found myself close to the grave. They said I had more than an 85% chance of death at that intense, chaotic moment. But my earth angels quickly surrounded me with their glistening wings, swooped me up, and struggled desperately not to let me die.  While this traumatic event happened in the ICU, the cardiac ICU, no less, all things were accomplished by the hospital staf Read More

If you are a parent, and you truly care about the education of your children, you need to carefully review where you send your kids to school. You need to review the curriculum that is provided for them, the teachers and their educational backgrounds, textbooks that are required and also present in the library of the school.  If they are not up to standards, you must either go to the school board and make Read More

The Spy Who Hummed me

It’s winter, so my pretty little hummers are sunning themselves in southern Mexico or Panama.  Perhaps they would like to lay on the beach to sun themselves, but their super-charged metabolism requires them to feed every ten minutes, so that won’t work. Either way, they are probably having an enjoyable time in the tropics, but my guess is these little colorful hummers miss me.  Yeah, they miss me and Read More

She Likes to Paint

Quite a few things come naturally for her.  In fact, at an early age, she realized the power she had over men, simply by just being herself — for example, walking down the sidewalk downtown, or shopping for groceries.  She owns a classic runway walk that displays a rhythmic motion of her merciless hips (1,2), while her wavy blonde hair bounces with confident freedom.  If her walk could be placed to music, it Read More

Smiling Bobble Heads

It used to be that I always thought the best about people, even though they may not have earned this treatment from me.  In fact, it was common for me (and still is), for me to give people second chances.  However, as time goes on and the gray invades my side burns and winter goatee, I have become less tolerant of people who in the past, have taken advantage of my kindness.  In fact, if a person doe Read More

Silliness and Monty Python

There may be a few of you who are still alive that may remember the British comedy team named Monty Python. They performed their hilariously stupid comedy sketches some years ago, back when the authorities allowed us to laugh freely without arrest or public ridicule for our inappropriate guffaws. Of course, I was just a wee little lad back then, having barely graduated from crawling to walking, and i am sure you b Read More

2022 and Heroes

 When I was growing up, I considered Clint Eastwood, the movie actor, to be my hero, I suppose.  I watched every movie he made and counted the days until his next film appeared in local theaters. This included The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Dirty Harry, Sudden Impact, The Unforgiven, Gran Torino and more. I guess he was a hero to me because he was larger tha Read More
