There is considerable benefit to being a storyteller………. The most significant is that I write the ending.
In my recent conversation with rock star Denny Laine he said “the older you get the more you want to do it.”…… I am a few years younger Denny, but I hear you loud and clear.
There are 3,141 counties in this Country. In the most recent Presidential election Trump won 3,084 counties, Clinton won 57. Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes…….. Should we change our formula for electing a President?
America’s favorite boogeyman Charles Manson has passed on. The nominations for his replacement are pouring in……………… Could you have ever believed that Charlie Rose would receive so many votes?
If you are under the age of 35 and have a feeling you are the smartest guy in the room, leave the room immediately…….I wish someone had given me that advice back in a my younger days.
I miss “Little Finger” and the way he attempted to climb the ladder……Maybe the red woman will bring him back to life like she did Jon Snow.
Speaking of little fingers …… my middle one is healing nicely thank you.
Oh, that month between Thanksgiving and New Years , some call it the holidays, some call it ‘tis the season’, even the Renaissance……… I refer to it simply as the dark ages.
A former high school classmate referred to me as solipsistic in a private message. She was livid that I had used her name in a story without her permission and misspelled her nickname……. Not the first ex high school acquaintance, calling themselves an author, who resents me for trying to be in their writers’ club.
The same girl did offer me some advice: Get a copy editor , take a writing course, and think before you publish……..I may be solipsistic Deidre, but I still appreciate sound professional guidance.
I was on time for my 2:30 doctor’s appointment. The nurse called me in at 3:45……… How quickly we forget that physician’s time is far more important than ours.
Eli Manning had started 210 consecutive for the New York Giants. He was benched for this past Sunday’s game………. Listen up one more time you rank sentimentalists; NOTHING lasts forever .
Even for a class human being and two time Super Bowl MVP there comes a time……….. Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you have a lifetime pass?
Now Matt Lauer has been fired for trying to eat the candy in his own store…….. Attention all rosary bead clingers; Shut up and get busy cleaning your own closets.
Driving in the car Friday afternoon I heard on the radio, “Tiger Woods has taken the lead” ……….For taking the longest and hardest fall from grace in celebrity history?
Actually, it turned out he had taken the lead in a golf tournament………….O.K. I am a sucker for a great comeback story.
General Mike Flynn made a deal with the Feds. For sure he gave somebody up……. Can you say Jared Kushner?
If you feel God is trying to tell you something, she probably is………She’s had enough of your shit.
“If it moves tax it. If it keeps moving tax it. If it keeps moving regulate it. If it stops moving subsidize it.”……….. I didn’t say it. Big government cost big dollars.
Thank you Denny Laine. You are the Pro!!!!!………….Hanging with you and Liz was one great party from beginning to end.
I am on an investment group board with 10 other business type leaders. I am aware all things are relative, and where there is smoke there is usually fire………. Please, you want to call me pompus. You ain’t seen nothin…
Walking through any cemetery I look for the beginning dates and expiration dates . The dash between the years is predominantly the same size. It is hard to measure endowment in “a life well lived”, still ………I want a huge dash.
MacBeth is both one of Shakespeare’s shortest, and best known tragedies. At his core General Macbeth is a righteous man. Pushed by his wife, and his own warped sense of ambition, he deeply desires to climb the political ladder …….. The play should be required reading for any one seeking or already in a position of power.
I loved the title so I read Napolean Hill’s ‘Outwitting the Devil’. Yes I am trying to overcome my weaknesses of procrastination, fear, and jealousy…….. And I have started preparation for my final negotiations.
In January Mary Kate heads to Los Angeles for a semester internship in the communications field………. Did I really expect her to stay even one semester through an Ithaca winter? I know dumb question. But she does go to Ithaca college.

Also Sunday night, Curb Your Enthusiasm aired its’ final episode of the season ………. If you laughed as hard and as long as I did consider us soulmates.
I will accept a reputation of being obstreperous. Please, at least to my face, never call me obsequious. ……. Only an attempt to cut through the treacle.
The late, great Jimmy Durante use to end his show by saying adieu to the same person, who was anonomyous to the audience……….. Good night Harry Catchitore wherever you are.
