72 Is A Number. What I Did with It Is A Life Well Lived.

2 years ago Voices In My Head

There is nothing special about being 72 years old. Hell, my aunt just turned 101. I remember thinking 21 was a big deal. Then, there was 30 because I thought I wouldn’t be able to trust myself anymore (Boomers will get this). 40 was going to be about mid-life crisis and 50 was like: wow,…

Replay: The Death of US: The Tearing Apart of the American Ideal

2 years ago Feature
2020

From the moment that Donald J. Trump was elected four years ago, I have lived in a state of shock and bewilderment. How could a man with such a shady financial, racial, and sexist past (well known if you just Google it) and willing to drool dumb, and I mean dumb, statements become President of…

I am an Angry American and I’m not alone except I really don’t want to be. But, it’s hard when you are being daily bombarded by violent words and violent images from both sides of the ideological spectrum. Have you read the latest tweets from President Donald Trump and his nemesis, everyone else? Angry Americans…

Sober. September 11, 2011. Nine years and Counting.

3 years ago Feature, Voices In My Head

In the pain of this day’s memory, I find solace in my decision to end the nightmare of alcoholism and addiction on September 11, 2011. There is no victory in sobriety. You have not won a prize. There are no medals, nor should there be. There is no need for a marching band or cheerleaders or a slap on the…

Remembering Riding the Main Line Home

Editor’s Note: The following is a work of fiction based on real events, real people, and real places. The facts have been changed to protect the real guilty. I don’t remember his name. It’s been lost to the dark corners of my memory. So deep that it’s been drowned out by the noise of too…

2020 Is Just Like 1968. It is All About Power.

3 years ago Voices In My Head

2020 has been one hell of a year and we’re not even halfway through it. As someone who lived through 1968, I could not help but see the easy comparisons with that momentous year. Two years ago, I wrote an essay about growing in 1968 New York City Fifty years ago, in 1968, a roaring…

Looting Is Not Change and A Riot Is Not A Revolution.

3 years ago Voices In My Head

Looting is robbery. Okay, not technically (The legal definition of looting in California is committing any of the following offenses, during a state of emergency or a local emergency: Burglary; Grand theft or Petty theft: Penal Code 463 PC). It is still stealing. What it is not is change. No, it does not change public policy nor…

COVID-19, Coronavirus, the Pandemic, toilet paper. One cannot hide from the most game-changing event in our lifetime. Yes, even greater than 9/11.

Toilet Paper and COVID-19: How I Got Scammed and You Can Too

3 years ago Feature, Voices In My Head

Toilet paper. You never know how much you miss it until it’s gone. In our household, our greatest challenge has been to keep ourselves stocked with food and household essentials. From Target to Vons, Smart and Final, Trader Joe’s, Lazy Acres and CVS, I’ve stood on many an early and, I mean early, mid-day and…
