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

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   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 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.

App: “Spy Doc”   It was a Saturday morning, and I was in the grocery store, bright and early, trying to beat the sleepy head shopping crowd.  Shorts and sandals, baggy T – shirt, but I did take a shower before I left.  Turns out that was a good move. I was making good time, my cart was half full and I was on my way to a Saturday shopping success until I heard her shrill voice: “Well, hello Dr. Carso Read More

Running to the Beach

85 degrees, hot sun in the blistering swelter of Midwestern summer.  Perfect weather for a run, at least in my mind. But then, in those days, any time of day or weather was a perfect day for running. I took each season as an opportunity to explore my physical limits of endurance, relishing the beauty of each season. Now of course, we advise runners to avoid the heat and if a run is chosen, make sure you make frequ Read More
