Sitting At The Bar: Trump, Biden and Clint Eastwood

Dear readers:  This is a work of fiction and my own creation, and is highly unlikely to ever happen. But who knows anymore, in this bizarre world. It is for entertainment only, and may be somewhat thought – provoking to those who pay attention and keep an open mind. I will use actual real quotes from Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Clint Eastwood.  When they are actual real quotes from their mouths in real li Read More

Taco Bell and Patients

  Ok, so this photograph is not a photo of Taco Bell, and that’s because I am not employed by that establishment to provide marketing. However, if Taco Bell wants to employ me as a marketer, using my lively application of words to their products, I’ll be happy to do so.  Also, it’s still summer, and I enjoyed walking on this Lake Michigan Beach. I try to be on time for my patients, or at Read More

Tennis Shoes and Love

“Mom, have you seen my tennis shoes?” I said from out in the garage while she was in the kitchen frying breaded perch caught in Lake Michigan. “No Carson, I haven’t seen those smelly old things, but I bet they’re right in front of you, getting ready to jump up and bite you.” I looked down, and sure enough they were several feet in front of me. How did she know? Did she have ESP? Truth Read More

Let’s Be Frank about Ralph

I’ve only known maybe two Franks and actually one Ralph in my lifetime. Maybe more but I can’t remember anymore. Neither Frank was particularly impressive I suppose, but the Ralph I knew was an ok guy and we ran track together. That’s about it. But it seems to me that even though Ralph and Frank are names that certainly aren’t very common, only Frank has been successful in dominating the conversation in th Read More

I Did it on The Airplane Again

  I don’t have a good explanation for it, but each time I fly as a passenger, I can’t seem to control these actions anymore. It just feels so good and natural – and thankfully I haven’t been thrown off the plane yet, but if I do get thrown off, I will scream as loud as I can and hold on to my seat arm with both hands, trying not to laugh as they drag me by the legs off the plane and into the arms of a 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
