Short Takes That You Will Not Necessarily Agree With….. Syria is still a disaster in many ways – get it fixed or get the hell out. No grey area. Celebrating MLK’s anniversary of his assassination (50 years ago) – let’s move a lot of that energy spent on the celebrating to generating greater paths to… Continue reading Sunday, April 8th – Top of Mind

Silver Bullet Bullshit.  20 Minutes to Remember.  Tactical Awareness.   He has produced 34 albums and sold over 30 million records.  He has rocked audiences worldwide over 6,000 times and before leading his Silver Bullet Band he cut his teeth with the Amboy Dukes.  I won’t position him a hypocrite as Ted Nugent (think “Cat Scratch… Continue reading Wrong Ted. Zlatan. Grow Up LGP.

The March for Our Lives.  Top of Mind Things I Think. Let there be no misunderstanding.  I am proud of all the people worldwide, especially the children, who gathered yesterday to make their voices heard regarding gun control.  I just wonder if their efforts are misguided?  As I stated in my February 18th post:  “I… Continue reading “Enough is Enough”. Random Takes.

A Bridge Too Far.  Random Thoughts for Mid-March. Growing up in a middle-class neighborhood of Miami, with the southwest section surrounded by Coral Gables to the east, Calle Ocho to the north, the Everglades to the west and Kendall to the south, my friends and I were able to use Tamiami Park and the brand… Continue reading Miami Sad. Etc.

Call It What You Want. Trump & Kim Jong-Un:  Megalomaniacs The 2nd Amendment: Confusing Elon Musk:  Ballsy March Madness:  Fun BitCoins: Confusing Putin: Shrewd Syria: Hell Chicago: Crime Silicon Valley: Done Stormy Daniels & Donald Trump:  Meh Alexa: Obedient Puerto Rico:  Forgotten Atlanta United: Win Daylight Savings Time: Thankful Odell Beckham:  Bizarre Spring Training Baseball: … Continue reading I Have One Word.

Just My Take. Assault rifles are now coming out of the racks and cases at many retailers.  I support the Constitution including the 2nd Amendment but why did it take the tragedy in South Florida for these retailers to take action? Major League Soccer, opening up it’s 23rd season today, has come a very long… Continue reading Short Takes for the First Sunday of March.

They Make It Look So Easy.  The Second Season.  Daylight Savings Time. The “men of machismo” don’t always put men’s figure skating in the best light.  Maybe it is the costumes or the elegant flair that must be shown to differentiate your performance from others.  Maybe it is just the fact that the men are… Continue reading Gymnastics & Shuffleboard – On Ice. ATL UTD. Let It Be Light.

Access and Security. On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the Constitution) were ratified by three-fourths of the States.  The second amendment is unfortunately top of mind these days with another school shooting, this time at a high school near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The Second Amendment reads: A well regulated… Continue reading The Right to Bear Arms.

Short Takes and DST Update. Don’t let that measly ever-lasting smile alter your perception of her home ‘country’ of North Korea.  Kim Yo Jong,  sister of the young moron running that country,  has one purpose with her presence at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics – propaganda.  Detente?  Not a chance. Nashville – great town, great music and… Continue reading Top of Mind for February 11, 2018

Apathy.  Patton & Schwarzkopf.  DST Update. My Super Bowl memories go way back – think Jerry Kramer’s block allowing Bart Starr to sneak into the end zone with thirteen seconds left in Super Bowl Two.  This was, and is to this day called the ‘Ice Bowl’ as it was 13 degrees below zero during most… Continue reading The “Super” Bowl.
