Final Four

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ March Madness. It’s a televised spectacle. It’s one part sports and one part national obsession. It’s a leprauchan circumsizing himself with a sharpie. It’s a potato chip mainlining heroin. It’s cheap beers at theme restaurants with a million tv screens. God Love America. I’m going blind […]

Evil Equine Eye

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ An evil equine stealing my soul. I walk into the rest room of the upscale restaurant. The music is playing and seems extraordinarily loud. It is reverberating off my ear drums, perhaps because the floor is tile and the counter granite. The music pours down from […]

Crazy Woman

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A bar stool of crazy! All this basketball Madness reminded me of one of my favorite hoops moments from a few years back… I’m watching game six of the NBA finals on one screen and Honduras V USA soccer on another. Suddenly a young woman with […]

Pot Hole Hell

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Pot Hole Hell. I’m driving up I-65 and it’s like motoring along the dark side of the moon. There are craters big enough to inhale an entire car. Chunks of highway are missing as if they have entered the witness protection program. There are holes deep […]

So many stories. So little time.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ working 4 stories at once. It’s starts at 7:30 am. I’m not scheduled to come to work for another 6 hours, but already the news is coming to me. I should be asleep. I’m awake. I should be drinking coffee dreaming of unicorns and rainbows. Instead, I’m […]

Pee Pee Puppy

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The little puppy that piddles. Not puddles or pickles, mind you. I’m talking piddling. You know, peeing. The little Havanese puppy is cuter than a baby panda bear. It’s a ball of fur with legs and a cute little black nose. The puppy with the sandy […]

Prime Time Boxing Bust

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Prime Time Boxing. SATURDAY NIGHT! EXCLUSIVE! It is being hailed as boxing returns to broadcast TV. Am I suppose to cheer like a third grader at a birthday party? NBC thinks so. The network is ringing the promotional bell like a Salvation Army Santa with palsy. Boxing […]

The New Driver

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Driving with a new driver. You see that curb? You check that side view mirror? Oh man that car is close! You aren’t planning on driving with the rear wiper on the whole way are you? My son is 15. He’s a good kid, but he’s […]

Seattle Cancer 2

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. accompanying mom on her chemo therapy appointment in Seattle. We walk through the airy, art filled lobby and ring for the elevator. The waiting area to go up is like most hospitals. Sick people being assisted by not so sick people. The elevator door opens. It’s […]

Seattle Cancer

You know what’s crazy ?I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Seattle Cancer Center. I am driving to Seattle from Portland. It’s a 3 hour drive up the I-5. I am crossing rivers of sparkling blue so beautiful I expect salmon to leap out of the water and do a pirouette in front of me. I am driving through […]
