Yeah, no question. God exists

  She lurched forward and took me to it faster, accelerating with each second, rolling towards the end; my eyes saw the blurred trees fly by on my peripheral vision, but I dare not look anywhere but straight, where I hoped to keep her concentrating as well during her speedy fury of unleashed power.  She had strength, just enough to make men tremble if they didn’t know how to control her without losing their Read More

Ze Flench Vin

  It was a white Mercedes van and luckily I occupied the passenger seat next to her, and the two British women in back with their haughty Liverpool or northern dialects, I couldn’t tell nor did I care. My left ear yearned to hear more from the driver while my right ear tried to protect itself from the faux aristocratic noise in back by producing emergency earwax. Thankfully we stopped before the wax dripped, Read More

He’s Just Not Right

            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

Miracles

  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…

              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

                        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

      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

Wine Pairings and Heroic Snoring

    While it’s true that wine, actually alcohol in general, will nearly always exacerbate snoring and sleep apnea, the two words have nothing to do with each other for the purposes of this blog piece.  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
