Let's Get Serious...about being Unserious!

If you read these blogs, you know for the past month or so I've been getting political.  Well, as political as I'll ever get, I think.  It's not really my "wheelhouse" as they say.  However, media is kinda my "wheelhouse"; so I will continue to take certain Media Outlets and those in their orbits to task, when I feel so inclined.  It's rather like taking aim at ducks in a barrel. or a fox out of water, or turkeys in the henhouse...
So, I want a reset.  A palette cleanse.  I want to get back to being stupid; although I don't know how I could get any stupider than the World actually is, in this day and age.  When in Rome, right?  I'm gonna start with a stupid video, as I have an idea in mind.  And also, on the less serious side; but not all that less serious...I am going to do a soft launch for my new book.  A teaser campaign, if you will.  Can you tease a teaser campaign?  I guess we'll find out.  In any event, if you are so interested; look for the following image, which is the new book's cover.  Hopefully it will be available by Christmas!  It's called 84 on the Floor.  So keep watching these spaces.
Seriously!

An excerpt from 84 on the Floor:
​
...This retreat was pretty swank, real estate wise.  The grounds were stunningly beautiful and went on and on as far as money could buy.  And the church had the money.  We were on some prime real estate.  Amazing what you could acquire without having to pay taxes. 
I suppose my mother’s motives were coming from a place of concern; concern for my soul and the salvation of it.  However, she apparently didn’t do enough research.  This boys retreat was not only spiritual, it was physical.   And apparently for hockey players.  I couldn’t skate period.  I did not own ice skates.  And I certainly did not own hockey equipment.  Do you know how humiliating it is to try and play hockey in Earth Shoes?  I do.  Thanks Mom!

    BLOG NOTES:

    I had a ton of notes for these blogs but they seem to have disappeared.  Don't ask me.  The gist was this: I sometimes make mistakes with punctuation and spelling.  I try to fix them if I find them.  Sometimes the pictures I post switch around of their own accord.  Again, I try to correct this when I come upon it.  Finally:  I try to keep this site somewhat family friendly but I will be honest about things like sex.  Therefore, as the old adage goes: VIEWER/READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED AND ENCOURAGED. RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES.
