8/16/2021 It's Been a While I don’t talk to nobody these days. That wasn’t always the case. Way back in high school, I was the runner-up for Class Flirt, according to someone who said they had knowledge of the results. I suppose it’s true, but how would I know otherwise?…
Last Year Was a Bad Year We all thought that 2020 was the worst it could ever get. Holy smokes. Have you been watching the news? Of course you have. What a stupid question. I suppose I could ask which network’s broadcast you usually watch, but that’s a whole different…
Protest about inequality is as American as it gets. As I once heard my man Bruce say, “No one is free unless everyone is free.” I’m sure he was paraphrasing someone else, but it has always stuck with me. As a kid, the Fourth of July meant fireworks and red-white-and-blue…
~Forgive the quality of the photo--it's only as blurry as our vision was that day after drinking our lunch somewhat.... When we walked in, most of my family was already there. Though we had driven all day, both of my sisters and my brother Sandy’s wife had arrived either the…

~A song got me thinking.... When someone leaves us at the end of their life, it's hard to regret not getting the chance to let them know what they meant to you before they went. Though it's mostly for my own benefit, I wanted to remind my father of what…
[I wrote this a while back around Yule-time.] I'm often reminded in December of a special winter season in which I was lucky enough to perform in a play that has become rather meaningful to me. Though some would debate how well this particular play was written, the adaptation of…
[Written in 2012--still think it's accurate.] I was a failure as an actor. There, I said it. I've wanted to admit it for years, to shout it from the rooftops, but I haven't. Everyone is so quick to tell me I'm wrong (everyone but Ed Ulloa), or that it's the…
My mom loved movies. As a result, I love movies. I have always loved movies. In light of the horrible situation in which we find ourselves in the world at the moment, you might be stuck at home and looking for something to occupy your time. There are many streaming…
