An Absolute Disaster

-

The turd that is making economic policy bankrupted a casino. 

In fact, he went bankrupt 6 times.

We all knew that.

He was elected anyway.

Stock market is in the tank.

Tariffs across the board will raise prices on all imported goods - 10 to 50%!

People have their retirements tied to their 401k and those are being destroyed.

One of the GOP pinheads said that old people who are worried about their retirement are just going to have to ‘suck it up.’

Why????

What is the payoff at the end?

We all get to suffer for the good of the country because this economic genius - WHO BANKRUPTED A FREAKING CASINO- has an idea?

Do you trust the man who has lied more than any other politician ever???

I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him and I’m not getting close enough to pick him up.

I can’t believe that his suckups are having much success with their constituents.

I’m genuinely concerned, of course…

…worried about social security and the 401k.

Frightened for business owners who won’t be able to compete.

Disgusted for those who lost their jobs.

And there’s a little voice in the back of my mind that is shouting at me:

“Don’t celebrate because all the people who voted for him are also going to suffer.”

I don’t want to do that…

…yet, I imagine a world where crime goes way up.

“When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.”

Watch for home invasions…

…Mass shootings….

…armed robbery.

“Make America A Complete Shit Hole”

How do we fit that on a hat?

There’s Still Greatness

The other night I got home from work and Kathy and Sam were engaged in a game of backgammon. Sam had never played and wanted to learn. He got some late doubles and won his debut game. (I helped a little). And I thought of my buddy, Gag. We were roommates at Gannon back in 1983. We played at least 25 games of backgammon a night. By the end of the year he wound up beating me by just a couple of games out of a few thousand. That’s 60-year-old Gag in the photo - running the Disney marathon with his son, MJ - they do it every year. To raise money for Duchenne MD research. “He’s running again?” Kathy asked me as we talked about the donation.  “Of course.” “Italian men, man,” Kathy said. “You’re a stubborn, loyal lot.” “I ain’t running no marathons,” I said. “Gag is a maniac.” I enjoy following the posts as the run progresses - on Saturday morning I was fighting a cold or some such crap… …and they were running in the rain in Florida. There is a lot of negative energy in the news we see br...

Eyes on the Horizon

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!

Eyes on the Horizon Review

-
It’s always strange for me when someone I know tells me that they read my books and it’s weird for them because they think of me as they’re reading the story. I didn’t quite grasp what they meant, and hoped that they’d get caught up in the story and not me. I kind of get what they’re saying now because I just finished reading my sister Carrie Lynn’s excellent first book, ‘Eyes on the Horizon’. Now, I had read the story a long while ago, but a whole lot of work went into the end product. As a writer, I always try and guess along with the author because I can see the plot lines, and I’m often critical of plot lines that come out of nowhere as the author tries to unpaint the corner he’s stuck in. There was none of that in ‘Eyes on the Horizon’! I didn’t have any moments of, ‘Come on, now, that doesn’t work!’ I caught all the subtle lines that we shared in conversations and I was proud that Carrie defined her characters clearly and used them to propel the story forward. I’ve also coached h...
