The worst things in my life have been fixing plumbing, buying a car, and dating or playing the field, so they say. I've always have had a woman around in my adult years, but those have been married years. I hate being single and flirting and all of the... read entire post

The deplorable attitudes of the republican representatives has clearly shown how intrenched the special interests of drug and insurance companies are in government. Unregulated markets are the reason for this mess to begin with. Markets are the financi... read entire post

The trouble with growing older is you don't feel that way, and will get you into trouble and into embarrassing situations. Even though I'm nearing eighty, I look more like I'm in my late 60's nearing 70. My latest health evaluation says that I'm biolog... read entire post

Inur society has changed so much for the worse in terms of honor and social grace. We have improved so much technologically on one end of the scale; and, at the same time, have fallen terribly low on the other end in terms of politeness and courtesy.... read entire post

With Ted Kennedy passing away, and I'm a couple of months older, gets you to wondering if there really is life beyond this one. I never thought too much about death until my wife passed away suddenly this spring. Hospice and funeral businesses do not u... read entire post

Having a woman around for 55 years in two marriages has been a blessing. But there has also been heartbreak and a lot of hard work. I love my family, especially watching the grandkids grow up. I'm also a three time great-grandfather...or, at least th... read entire post

Life is crazy. You plan things, work for things, and sometimes they don't pan out as planned. When things do go your way, you thank God or luck or that rabbit's foot hanging on your belt. But when things go wrong, you cuss out your friends, wife, or... read entire post

The 4th of July is the worst time of the year for the homeowners at the beach. It's a carnival of nondescripts and social outcasts that would look better with clothes on rather than off. This not to say there are no pretty girls. They are wall to wate... read entire post

I go to the gym at three o'clock in the morning to enjoy a quiet workout. The nice thing is I don't have to put up with the crowds during the day. The worst thing is I have to endure two tortruous hours of Rap and Hip-Hop music. There seems to be some... read entire post

I'm slowly learning to live alone, since my wife passed away in April. It's tough letting go and moving on in a new direction. Reality and our fantasy of what life should be are two different things. Our hopes and dreams do not necessarily come tru... read entire post

My wife's ashes were placed in a wall overlooking San Diego Bay from Fort Rosecrans. It was a beatiful day and there was a lovely turnout of people. We had a wonderful party of family and friends afterward. To me, the event was emotionally... read entire post

Those of us that live at the beach are completely locked in because of all of the main streets being blocked for the great race. Not that it is really great in a good sense of the word, but great because of the mass confusion, like the great depression... read entire post

I've never had the feeling of loneliness. I've always sought security and independence, and suddenly I have it. I've had two wives who hated the kitchen and cooking, and I love to cook. My two grandfathers were bakers and cooks and the kitchen was s... read entire post

I've spent most of the day designing funeral notices for my wife. She was cremetated and will be buried at Fort Rosecrans in San Diego. It is unbelievable that I'm doing such a thing. A year ago, she was healthy and could walk a couple of miles to do l... read entire post
