image

It seems so obvious to me. The first time I saw Bruno, and heard about his obsession with music from the 40s, 50s and 60s….clearly he was channeling his father**. And then when I saw him perform recently on the Grammy’s.  It became pretty obvious he is really Sammy Davis Jr. JUNIOR.***  Don’t you see [...]

Ever drive by a mobile home park and think- “Wow. At one point that was someone’s dream home.” No? Well it was. Before mobile home parks were known as natural-disaster-magnets, they were actually kinda cool. After all, not only was it better than apartment living, but it was MOBILE. So you could just pick’er up [...]

  Even though Suzie promised not to post the photo of Glenda tripping on the office rug on Facebook, she knew she was ‘accidently’ going to anyway. “Bee-otch shouldn’t have talked smack about me at the sales meeting last week” Don’t feel too bad for Glenda.

  Even though Elna had added the blue ribbon, Rigmor knew it was her old ‘Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick’ hat. And no matter how hard she sat and prayed it was still there when she opened her eyes. “How would anyone take their music seriously with a hat like that?” she thought. Something had to be done about [...]

8: 47 PM ~ Newport Beach, California ‘ It was a long shot. Literarily. A photo taken on faith. It was all but totally dark, and I stood on the Newport pier next to the night fisherman setting up for the evening. As I watched them cast their lines with glowing lures to guide the [...]
