Where’s the Respect?

Neil Armstrong in front of the X – 15 WHERE’S THE RESPECT? Of the legions of voracious readers of my blog, perhaps a few will understand where I extract some of my inspiration, if you want to call it that.  And no, this time, it wasn’t at the bar.  What set me off this time was some guy wearing what he thought was a handsome beret in church services.  What then exploded within me is my review of some o Read More

Sure, It’s ok to Stare

  IT’S OK TO STARE   No matter how I try, I can’t stop staring at her. It’s just not possible, and despite the cacophony of the honking cars behind me, carrying their frazzled and banal cargo, I slow down even more to stare.  I really don’t care, you see, she’s always there for me, no matter what weak element attempts to deface her.  It seems she laughs at the swirling blizzards, gale force w Read More

Interview From Hell

  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

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

  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

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

Sitting at the Bar with Clint Eastwood, Part 2

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. This bar meeting never happened.  However, as before, actual published Clint Eastwood quotes will be in italics.  Quotes from my book will be in plain type.  This piece is written out of respect for the talented Mr. Eastwood. “Dr. Read More

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

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)

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

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
