Suzi Q
Do you have a sister like my Suzi Q? You do? I’ll pray for you! You all remember my sister, Suzi Q, don’t you? I’ve written about her before. ( Intervention, Part Two – The Happy Narcissist ) Anyway, here’s an actual conversation that took place just now . . . Hey, Suzi Q! Hey…

Old People REALLY ARE The Worst, Part Two
Walking into the movie auditorium I wondered to myself if this was a good idea or not. Eyeing the already seated gang of old geezers in the front row of the so-called stadium seats loudly talking because they can’t hear one another if they didn’t and coarsely laughing like they didn’t give a damn if…

“He Gets Us”
Our friend Lori Roeleveld wrote in her blog yesterday that the “He gets us.” campaign that was showcased in two ads during last Sunday’s Super Bowl will now require the people who my possibly imaginary Friend has already got to get up off our indolent arses and get moving to be the Hands and Feet…

Old People Are The Worst
My beautiful bride and I went to see the 25th Anniversary re-release of the movie “Titanic” in 3D. It was kind of a pre-Valentine Day romantic date for us. The movie was showing in a large theatre, and we got our usual seats front and center about five rows back from the screen. Right behind…

Super Bowl LVII
When I was in fourth grade, the only organized sports that I ever played in my life was on a Pop Warner football team on McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. I was an untalented runt of a player who never got to play. I only sat on the bench in my uniform with…

Silence With G-D
I went to bed early, feeling scared . . . and alone. He woke me like a lover in the middle of the night. I remembered that I’m reading about the lifestyle of my possibly imaginary Friend, Jesus Christ, and how the first of His practices that I want to emulate and relearn or learn…
