Losing It

Seems like Kanye West is having a bit of a meltdown again.

Why should we care?

My son likes to send me music from time to time. He’s of the opinion that Kanye is a musical genius, but he doesn’t send me any of his songs.

“Why not?” I asked once.

“He’s a little nutty,” Jake answered.

My only exposure to anything the guy has ever done was watching his back and forth with the former ‘president’.

That was like watching a slow motion car accident.

He’s been put away a couple of times for medical problems. Being bi-polar is no joke, but the media is covering his tweets and his actions as if he is the head of state.

“White lives matter” on the back of his jacket is nothing but an attempt to get attention.

Then to top it, he sent a tweet mentioning that all Jews needed to be killed (was pretty up front about it).

He got booted from Twitter but somehow he spent the next couple of days doubling down…

…and then there were articles talking about how he’s not sleeping and his friends are worried about him.

He was also wearing a hat that had ‘2024’ on it and it was stated that he is planning to run for president.

Time out, here…

…shouldn’t we have minimum requirements established for who can run for president?

Haven’t we suffered enough?

Kanye seems to know that the way to get votes is to be nasty about Jews and minorities.

He’s running on the GOP platform, in other words.

Who knows what happens in the next few days…

…perhaps he gets some help.

But perhaps the genius word gets tossed around a little too easily.

He hardly appears to be a genius.

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!
