Dancing with the Transgenders

-
Remember when Sonny and Cher were singing I Got You Babe as Cher held the beautiful baby up high for all of America to see. Chastity was so cute, wasn't she?

Have you seen him lately?

A comedian yesterday said that he looked like Porky Pig with a moustache. That's downright mean, but I laughed.

Does that make me a bad guy?

Because you see, I don't care that Chastity is now Chaz and that he is now going to be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.

I really won't watch it, and I won't pay a lot of attention to the people who think it's just awful that Chaz is trying to live her life in the most practical manner that he sees fit to live her life.

All right, reading that sentence back, I may be a little confused, but like I said, it's her life and he can live it anyway that she sees fit.

I feel sad for her actually. He has the absolute right to dance on National television. I'm not sure what she did to become a star, but his Mom and Dad were famous so that has to count for something, right?

And she seems like a perfectly nice guy. I saw her interviewed the other day with his partner, and she was thrilled to have that moustache that certainly distinguished him from Porky.

The one question that I do have is that his partner dated her when he was a lesbian. Now that she is a man does that make his partner not want her anymore?

If you can follow that sentence, you're better than me...may take a couple of reads, but I think I got it down.

And yes, I joke. I am certainly not making fun of Chaz. I always loved Sonny and Cher is still smoking hot and really made me think a lot of evil things as I was growing up.

I hope Chaz wins, actually.

I'll say it again:

He can live anyway that she wants!

It's her life and nobody should tell him what to do!

I Got You Babe!

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

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 bet you tha

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’mon, Oliver,”
