What Kind of Man Indeed?

-
Every night I pass by the television as Kathy keeps an eye on the case of the missing Florida girl, Caylee. It's a horribly sad story that actually turns my stomach when I consider the circumstances.

Yesterday they finally placed the blame on the man who murdered and decapitated Adam Walsh in 1981. His father, who started America's Most Wanted, and really spearheaded a lot of efforts to find missing children, was shown in all the newspapers and on television. He said that he just wanted to know what kind of man could murder or decapitate a child.

Those of us who live in the real world couldn't possibly understand how such a mind works. Did that mother really kill Caylee? What were Adam Walsh's last moments like?

I suppose that it is too close to Christmas to consider such a tragic subject, but day after day, it's on Nancy Grace.

Just for curiosity sake, stop at your local rest stop and look at the faces of the missing persons. There are thousands and thousands of kids that disappear, and can you imagine the people who are preying on our children?

Jake has the stomach flu today. When I saw the hurt in his eyes when he couldn't hold down a glass of water, I wanted to take the flu from him, and beat the hell out of it myself.

What kind of a man, indeed, could watch, and even enjoy the suffering of a child?

You're right. It is tragic. And don't worry, you'll get the flu from Jake... and if you give it to me or my children, I WILL beat the hell out of you...

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
