Bucket List

posted 4 months ago, updated 5 minutes later | 2 comments
Been thinking about the bucket list
Those things you want to do but haven't
Most are filled with great adventures
Travels to distant lands
Things you've always wanted to try

Mine is no different than most
I would like to soar through the sky in a...

Remembering Vianna

posted 4 months ago | 1 comment
Sometimes the littlest things spark a memory, and not always pleasant memories at that. Tonight I saw a young boy, face swollen by the chemo and steroids used to keep him alive and I remember the last time I saw Vianna.

I hate funerals, and even ...

Congratulations Tom

You almost made it and made us boomers proud. One of only five men to have won the British Open five or more times, you are a legend.

I enjoy watching golf. Don't play it, but I do enjoy watching it. Such great players, and as much as I enjoy Tig...

Antebellum

Yesterday as I walked
Through the streets of Alexandria
I faced many reminders
Of the history surrounding me

Camera in hand
So many buildings and homes
Windows and doors to photograph
Here since before the Revolutionary War

Yet, I am reminded t...

Life is like a rollercoaster
Full of twists and turns
Peaks and valleys
There are times when you feel like you are on top of the world
And times when you feel so low you wonder if there is a way up

Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn
Spinni...

There's a lot to be said for living alone. You don't have to share your space with anyone, and you can be who you are because there is nobody else you have to please, but there are pitfalls that come with that. Today, we'll focus on grocery shoppi...

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my boobs so droopy
With age I’ve come to realize the need
That with your help, I can look so much better
Because you’ve come to prop me up indeed.

You raise me up, so they can look like mountains;
You raise me up, my boobs ...

Ode to Jon and Kate

Seems as every day of late
We hear the news of Jon and Kate
And now their latest tale of woe
Divorce is pending, don't you know

How could this happen?
Was it their fate?
To have this family of eight
Who's to blame?
When was your last date?
Or do ...

ODE TO SMOG

posted 5 months ago | 2 comments
You see it in cities everywhere
The hovering haze that's in the air
The blending of smoke and fog
That urban blight we now call SMOG

It fills the skies and makes them gray
Won't let you see the light of day
The blending of smoke and fog
That urba...
