He’s Just Not Right

Posted on November 24, 2013 by main

He looked at Mr.Everly and smiled. “I’m Dr. Barton, taking over for my partner Dr. Franklin, who you met yesterday I presume.” “Yeah, Franklin, good guy, especially easy with the morphine, and I sure appreciate that.” Barton couldn’t help but laugh and as usual, his face blushed like an embarrassed kid. “We call him morphine Mark, and looks like you tw Read More

Please understand that the following groups of people will potentially be offended if they are not reading with an open and honest mind: 1) Morbidly obese people who specifically are lazy. 2) Swimmer nuts who eat, drink (well not literally) and sleep i Read More

Miracles

Posted on November 10, 2013 by main

Many who know me will say that it must be a miracle that I was able to learn how to fly airplanes and still live to tell about it. These same people believe it’s a miracle that I’ve been able to learn how to use a smart phone, kinda use text messaging, operate my own blog, use the new hospital electronic medical record without blowing it up, and of course, cook on my grill without burning the house and n Read More

Bevare the Viches…

Posted on November 6, 2013 by main

It was a sultry day in southern California years ago, and our high school gym barely held all the newly graduating high school seniors sitting in their stuffy caps and gowns while their parents and friends filled up the bleachers. Most of my friends studied their watches, hoping for a quick termination of the commencement ceremonies so they could catch some good waves while the actio Read More

So Help me God

Posted on October 26, 2013 by main

I’m keeping with my policy about not blogging about politics. While I do have strong political opinions, a literary blog is not the place for them. Today’s blog will however, be about something that is much more important than any political opinion could ever hope to be, and in fact has formed the backbone of this great country since the beginning. I’m Read More

Bumper Sticker Baloney Blogfest

Posted on October 12, 2013 by main

I tried to resist, but it happened again, much beyond my control. Yes, I tumbled over the edge again, by a bumper sticker. While I have nothing against people who enjoy placing bumper stickers on their perfectly nice cars, sometimes, depending on the content, they inexorably pump my creative juices to a point that forces me to write. Before I spill out the details of my random thoughts Read More

Posted on October 4, 2013 by main

Of course, as you will see as you read on, they have a significant connection in real life that we will discuss. With regard to the first word – snoring, the medical field – especially sleep m Read More

Don’t be afraid. Feel the Music.

Posted on September 23, 2013 by main

Admittedly before I started writing this piece I enjoyed some smooth red wine, and of course, that allows the words to flow much more freely and with less of a filter, but it is good for the heart. At the same time, you should be thankful that I am writing these words rather than speaking them, and thus you can’t hear the shlurrred speech. The truth is this: I’m a tough son of a gun at Read More

One More Thing About Runners…

Posted on September 8, 2013 by main

I’m not into bumper stickers, but have you ever noticed that it’s becoming popular now for some people to sport bumper stickers that read: “I’m a Runner” or “I run” or “I run therefore I am.” That bothers the hell out of me. First off, nobody cares if you are a runner or a fat slob so why advertise for no reason? If you were a real runner, and you know what I mean by that, you wo Read More
