By the time they got to the Red Dragon, my parents were pretty skilled in the art of naming the new dog. Actually, the adorable little Cocker Spaniel/ Poodle, or Cockapoo, isn’t really named, or nicknamed, the Red Dragon. No one has ever called him the Red Dragon. I just came up with that nickname … Continue reading The Family Dog: Seamus

Our gene pool needs a lifeguard

I don't know who coined the line "Our gene pool needs a lifeguard", but at some point over the years, it became one of my Mom's family's favorite … Continue reading Our gene pool needs a lifeguard

All along the walls were small alcoves, each with a torch on the wall illuminating the marble statues of Zeus and Poseidon, Mars and Apollo. At … Continue reading Gold-Plated Sword

Members of Congress hate each other with a passion insurmountable and will do anything to bring down the government in the name if their … Continue reading How Did This Happen?
Million Dollar Idea

Just a Ride
“Life is just a ride. It has its ups, it has its downs, But it’s just a ride.” _ Bill Hicks I was taking a shower this morning and suddenly, He was around my feet. He had come through the drain and slithered around the bathtub, coiling Himself around my legs. In an instant, He … Continue reading Just a Ride
