Interview From Hell

Posted on March 23, 2015 by main

I’m pretty sure that I know how to take a history from a patient, although I joke that it’s much easier to cut first and ask questions later. My questions are posed to dissect out the basis of the patient’s problem, taking the complaint and narrowing it down to the smallest differential possible. Like Doctor House, I believe I’m a detective sorting through carefully hidden clues, then while asking Read More

Home Alone, Yet Not So Alone

Posted on February 23, 2015 by main

HOME AGAIN, BUT NOT SO ALONE For background, please read my blogs, Home Alone, Home Alone Part Deux and Grand finale, however, that reading isn’t necessary to appreciate this short piece. The mass of the wet snow overcame each branch of the fir trees, causing their sad droop almost to the ground, reminding me of how I neglected them in the summer, but it was only a brief thought, because I knew, li Read More

Kids should play on Playgrounds, not Rooftops

Posted on February 8, 2015 by main

Many of my readers have children and I’m sure all parents want their children to grow up to be strong, healthy and successful world beaters – even more successful than their loving, hard working parents. Of course, we all know that is only possible by feeding the little varmints large quantities of gooey, flaccid, bleached Wonder bread. At least that’s what I remember from stupid TV commercials Read More

God Bless America: Celebrate the Diversity of Coexist Stickers on Subaru Cars

Posted on January 26, 2015 by main

While this piece is basic satire, that’s what it is and nothing more. What I say here is partly for entertainment purposes and also my personal opinion about certain things. Any reference to the Subaru car company is of course fictitious and just meant to be humorous. If you disagree, good. That means I was effective in exposing your puny little sensitivities. Oh and by the way, if you disagree with me, I Read More

Posted on December 27, 2014 by main

Required reading material: My blog from August 11, 2014 (Sitting at the Bar with Clint Eastwood) Warning: This is a fictional piece so don’t get your underwear tied up in a wad.

An interested reader requested this scene from my novel: To Love With Hate

Posted on December 26, 2014 by main

She walked toward the bathroom; her skirt dropped to the floor several feet in front of the doorway, as did her sweater and bra. Only her panties remained. Her backside reminded him of the smoothness of his favorite winter toboggan run when he was a kid. Before she entered the bathroom, she looked back at Gavin, knowing he was watching, and smiled seductively before she closed the bathroom door behind her. But she Read More

Doctors Are People Too (Put De Lime in De Coconut)

Posted on December 22, 2014 by main

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbgv8PkO9eo Doctors Are People Too Well most doctors are people I think. A few scattered ones are robots or automatons who have been manufactured in medical schools and residency programs with programmed “skill chips” that drive the doctor – tron to perform his or her highly specialized skills on whatever body is presented, no questions asked. That of course, requires Read More

Shock Doc Writer Vs. Shock Jock Radio Host

Posted on November 3, 2014 by main

SHOCK DOC WRITER VS SHOCK JOCK RADIO HOST Some say I look like Howard Stern, the Xirius XM Shock Jock. I resent that statement. Has anyone considered the alternative explanation? Howard Stern looks like me? Just because he’s a famous radio/TV personality doesn’t necessarily mean he’s more popular than a Shock Doc writer/novelist does it? Obviously he’s older than I am and on TV frequently but Read More

Dick Tracy, Chuck Roast and Guns

Posted on October 4, 2014 by main

Dick Tracy, Chuck Roast, and Guns Bicycles dominated as our fastest modes of transportation, although we loved running fast and hard, through neighborhood back yards, across highways, around construction sites, on top of school roofs and nothing proved to be an obstacle. I was faster than Jack, but he was my best friend and it seemed when we were on the loose the action accelerated onto trajectories that often put Read More

Lucky Man, Love and Power

Posted on September 16, 2014 by main

Lucky Man Although I’ve tasted the peaceful lure of near death, I’ve seen and heard angels walking on earth. They don’t have wings and they are human: doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians and many others. Unfortunately, the peace and calm I experienced sometimes eludes me during the speeding essence of everyday life, but I try to take the time to sit back, think, and realize that d Read More
