I’m Putting on My Nicest Boxers Today!. Top Story - October 2024.
It’s 9.00 a.m. on Monday morning. It’s raining hard. I’m outside the back door, coat on, hood up. I’ve got the blue recycling bin tipped up at a 45-degree angle and my head and shoulders are deep inside it.

TURNING 70. Top Story - August 2024.
Should I wake up breathing on August 24th, people who have known me since my youth will say that I beat the odds. No one-- and I do mean no one-- believed I would survive my 20s. My Mother used to say, whenever I called from a payphone in the middle of nowhere, "You're going to end up dead in a ditch!"

Starving Artist Stops Abusing Food. Top Story - August 2024.
I often see those success stories of people with humble and/or difficult beginnings finally breaking into the entertainment industry as a writer or actor. He was living out of his car before he made it. Wow, my car looks like someone lives in it, but that's it. Her parents abandoned her and she bounced from foster home to foster home before achieving success. Wow, I have great and supportive parents. Bummer. He worked at a grocery store during the day and pulled overnight shifts as a janitor for years before he was discovered. Wow! I deal with shit at work, but not literal shit! I’ve looked at my own life. My parents didn’t abandon me, I hadn’t gone through financial hardships that cost me a home… I don’t have this incredible story of rags to riches. I’m just over here… living. So, am I going to be able to make it as a writer without the story? It’s as if I need the tough beginnings in order to make it, and I didn’t have those. However, I may finally have someone to thank. My job. My job may have given me just what I needed.

The Squeeze. Top Story - July 2024.
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.

Bless Me Father for I Have Sinned. Top Story - June 2024.
So, here’s me sitting on the 7b bus heading into town. I shouldn’t be on the bus. I don’t want to be on the bus. I should be on a bike, legs pumping like pistons. The freedom of the open road. Direction where the tyres press, as the poet said.
