So, like last time, you can put your caption here as a comment. But better yet is to click on the picture, go to the New Yorker magazine website, and enter your caption in their contest. And don’t forget to vote on entries from two weeks ago. See, there’s a two-week lag. They had the one…
reposted from about 3 years ago, but you’ve never read it. I’m rather tired of hearing about the “liberal media.” in fact, i don’t agree with the thought, although i don’t disagree either. let me explain. are the media on the left, sort of liberal in their attitudes? I’d have to admit, yes they are. however,…
originally posted about 5 years ago, but you never read it… i was recently in a sporting good store standing near one of the registers, making a purchase, when a tall guy walked up around the line of registers and out the door. as he walked past me, the 20-something guy made too much eye…
this topic recently came up on someone else’s blog, so i thought i’d repost my essay from about 2 1/2 years ago, originally published by pikerpress.com. Over the past few years, a great deal of money has been spent, efforts put forth, attention given, words spoken, words yelled, words cursed, and pain suffered in…
This was originally posted about a year and a half ago, but I’ve had a lot more followers since then (had zero then), so I doubt any of you wonderful people have read this. It was written quickly, an instant flash of inspiration. All pictures were taken by me, except two, I think. I took…

One of those trips is getting smaller things published, like short stories. I haven’t tried that option yet, although I plan to. Here’s one place for such a step:…
I’m not a rule breaker, but I am a rule-find-a-way-arounder. The 100-word writing challenge from Madison Woods isn’t supposed to be submitted until Friday on her website, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post mine on Thursday here on my blog. I had a lot of positive reactions last week, and I gained a bunch…
“Just ignore him, Bill. Let him pass.” Every week, The New Yorker magazine has an excellent caption contest. You create an online account, and then you freely go to the link and submit your caption. After about a week, there’s a vote among the top three captions, according to people at the magazine with no sense…
Of all the screw ups, errors, epic fails, and just plain f**k ups in all of sports, one of the most remembered is Bill Buckner’s error at first base that gave Game 6 of the 1986 World Series to the New York Mets instead of the Boston Red Sox. I don’t need to bore…
I’ve been playing golf for about 25 years but not consistently. The only reason I started playing was to get someone else – a golfer – to agree to occasionally play tennis with me. Seemed a fair trade, except that tennis only costs about $3 for a can of tennis balls, while golf costs anywhere…
