Things I'd Like To See Again

1. My belt buckle
2. My hair
3. Gasoline at 29 cents a gallon. Yes, I have seen it.
4. The bottom of the ocean, as I flew into Nassau, Bahamas.
5. Athletes who played for the love of the game. Players who would rather lose than cheat, or try to injure a good player on the other team. Best I can remember, it was called sportsmanship.
6. The Grand Canyon.
7. My wife's smile when she was young and healthy and she had not had to endure the hardships and worries of life. I wish I could have done a better job sheltering her from...life.
8. John Denver.
9. John Wayne do anything.
10.  The way Richard Gere walked when he was young, like in American Gigolo. The confidence, the health and the love of life. No, I'm not gay.
11. John Fogerty play the guitar.
12. Jerry Lee play the piano.
13. My kids when they started walking.
14. A huge bass break the water with my hook in its mouth.
15. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner at 140 miles per hour. For all you folks in the metric system, that's fast.
16. Sleeping for 7 hours without going to the bathroom.
17. A field of sunflowers in Kansas.
18. Interstate 75 with light traffic.
19. Greg Maddux throw a baseball.
20. A refund on my income tax.
21. Sharon Stone cross her legs.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...
