A family of about eight Thai people sat at a table in the seafood restaurant Suttangrak where I had been a serenade singer for a few years. They were attentive to my songs which they requested and generously tipped me; nothing seemed unusual. A few minutes later my first set was finished and as I …
I hesitate to say it, but I am a great pool shooter. (As opposed to being a great pool player*). But I feel like a guy who hits a hole-in-one playing alone. I’m just a casual in-the-bar have-a-few-drinks relaxed kind of pool player. I often play others who don’t have a chance so I …
I have always loved this picture. To me it is so gripping as to almost be alive. The painting may not be all that sensational to your eye, but the story that forever attached me to it and how it came into my hands is a fascinating and strange tale indeed.
I was on the road. I always traveled light, most times with a guitar, or I soon acquired one along the way. The one item I carried all of the time, which always proved invaluable to me, was my big old Navy-blue Pea-coat. Before I left on a tramp I would go to the Salvation …
I had an old guitar, nylon stringed, no case, that I had picked up in Seattle and I came into Northern California. I was eventually going to make it to Berkeley and San Francisco when I decided, instead of the coastal route, to take a hike down through Lake and Napa Counties, or “wine country” …

I am a little embarrassed and humbled by the thought that there’s anything that special about it that would be of interest to anyone. But I have been convinced because last night I made …
I have always loved this picture. To me it is so gripping as to almost be alive. The painting may not be all that sensational to your eye, but the story that forever attached me to it and how it came into my hands is a fascinating and strange tale indeed.
The Belichick/Brady Patriots are by far, the best team ever in the NFL if such a comparison can be made. No other team comes close….12 Division titles….9 AFC Title games….. 6 Super Bowls…. 4 Championships…..1 Undefeated season. Montana, Bradshaw, Aikman-era teams don’t have 1/2 those stats…… Belichick is the intellectual master coach of the game …
I am opposed to urinals. I refuse to use one. I know it seems a trivial and silly thing what with all the God-wars, racism, scandals of every kind and the plethora of serious bullshit going on in this crazy world. But urinals are especially repugnant to me. They are white, sexist, smelly and stupid; …
