First, I'm against aerial hunting - not hunting, just aerial hunting. A couple of days ago, a friend forwarded an email regarding Palin's support for aerial hunting. I responded with agreement that it made no sense. My response drew a reaction from someone else (we'll call him 'CCCCC') that led to a couple of back-and-forth emails. I appreciate disagreement. However, the immediate shift from the

By Unknown Author… but clearly a biker.There is cold, and there is cold on a motorcycle. Cold on a motorcycle is like being beaten with cold hammers while being kicked with cold boots; a bone bruising cold. The wind's big hands squeeze the heat out of my body and whisk it away; caught in a cold October rain, the drops don't even feel like water. They feel like shards of bone fallen from the skies

So recently I was asked to say something that is politically incorrect. I've thought about it quite a bit and I'm finally getting around to putting it down here.First of all:(An open note to Craig Ferguson - The Late, Late Show - CBS)Dear Craig,First let me say that I find your late night show more entertaining (with some periodic relevance) than almost any program of its genre out there. It's

So Spitzer has been forced to resign. Good.Now... since this was all about ethical and moral 'crimes', haven't we forgotten a few others?Let's see - George Bush, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Ken Lay, "Scooter", Condeleeza Rice and a few dozen others in the current administration who are proved to have lied to the Congress and the American Citizenry about the Middle East fiasco. All done for

The following email was forwarded to me on January 20, 2008. It represented the kind of one-sided, non-contextual and questionable presentation of ‘Alarm' that has the tendency to undermine the clarity of thought and open examination of fact and makes it easier for radical ‘Right-Thinkers’ (like Bin Laden, Hussein, Hitler and many in our current administration) take power over a panicked nation.

Theology and Religion for our use? Of course, Everyone has something to say about these. So I'll just make some observations. Quote from Allen Ginsberg: "I watched the best minds of my generation destroyed by...." Well - ...destroyed 'by Religion' is one of the things he left off his list. Too many 'religious' leaders live by nothing more than milk-crate theosophy. They keep their books of 'Deus

The ArtsAs I said, I'm an artist and musician. I've designed and made sculpture, jewelry and furniture and play music. So now I'm an expert? No. I just notice a few simple things that I think are important.One of my children, is in college, and took an art course as an elective. She has some interest and seems to enjoy her results, but she's as impatient for results as I am.My other child is a

Don't Settle!As a result of an accident laying me up, I had plenty of time to think about the "important" stuff. One of my decisions was not to 'settle' for things anymore. I had gotten into the habit through the ten years I was married and carried some of it over after my divorce. Not seriously, but in what seemed to be smaller issues. If you let the small things go sometimes, you can begin to

So THIS is a blog! I've never had one before and I'm not sure what good it'll do now. But I'm making some rules for it so I can keep both feet on the ground and not let it get out of hand.Please! No text message 'short' type of writing - from me or anyone else. Say what you mean please, in clear English. I'll accept email comments, thoughts, ideas, questions, criticism, etc. But I can't bring
