When The Donald Goes Down…
When the Donald Goes Down I hope there’s some way to annual his entire administration and all of his appointments at the same time, because every single one has been a nail in the coffin of our republican democracy. He has put foxes in hen houses, alligators in swamps, a sexual predator (who is probably…
It’s Warren, Sanders and/or Buttigieg For Me
I’ve been listening to the Democratic debates and winnowing down the candidates to figure out which of them I’m most enthusiastic about voting for. My finalist list includes Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg. I appreciate all of the other running DEMs well enough to vote for any of them (let’s face…
Frustrated…
I’m frustrated… I was going to write a blog post for HireMe.WordWhisperer.net this morning in my rare spare time, but the system won’t let me in to add a blog. It returns a “fatal error” when I try, so I’ve sent the info to my webmaster to fix. In the meantime, I’ll do…

333 = DeForest Kelley Visitations!
3:33 and 333 hold special meaning for me. Before Star Trek, DeForest Kelley appeared in a pilot for Gene Roddenberry called 333 Montgomery Street. The pilot was based on a famous criminal defense attorney named Jake Ehrlich whose business address (I gather) was 333 Montgomery Street in San Francisco. Jake Ehrlich specifically chose De…
What’s On Your Bucket List?
You know what a bucket list is, right? A bucket list is a list of things a person wants to do before they “kick the bucket.” Wanna hear something wild and crazy? This year alone, three people have told me I’m on their bucket list! You’d think that would stroke my…
Wendel Berry Has a Message for You
“The question before me, now that I am old, is not how to be dead, which I know from enough practice, but how to live, as these worn hills still tell, and some paintings of Paul Cezanne, and this mere singing wren, who thinks he’s alive forever, this instant, and may be.”– Wendell Berry …
What’s Up, Buttercup?
What’s Up, Buttercup? I’ve been writing more in my copy writing blog than I have here recently. That’s because I unexpectedly found myself with a lot to say professionally. But now there’s news for this blog, so here we go! What’s UP #1 The 4th volume of Kelley Phone Tag went…
