From Out of Left Field: October 2016

http://fromoutofleftfield.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Wednesday, October 12, 2016. 213 - I Tried, Really! Sunday night, I sat down to watch the second Presidential debate. At least, that was the plan. I watched in hopes of getting an idea of specific policy points from the candidates, specific arguments in support of their stands on the issues. You know, an actual debate. I know I am, but what are you? Takes one to know one.". I also had a pretty go...

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Friday, January 22, 2016. 203 - Movie Night. Tonight at the dinner table, my wife proclaimed that tonight was going to be movie night, and that the three of us were going to be in the same room together and watch a movie. Together. Part way through Make Believe. 2010), we lost one of the three viewers as my wife dozed off. That is not a commentary on the quality of the film, though. I fou...When ...

From Out of Left Field: May 2016

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Friday, May 27, 2016. 209 - In Memoriam. Today marks the start of Memorial Day weekend. It is a day and a weekend that is, in many ways, schizophrenic. Not that there is anything wrong with that. (I know I've often had this mindset.) After all, the freedom to do just that is part of what so many men and women fought and died to protect. It is also true that most of us have never and will never se...

From Out of Left Field: June 2016

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Monday, June 13, 2016. 210 - Pardon Me, Lest I Offend. At some level, I understand the rage and the outrage, the anger and the desire for revenge and retribution. Getting even has been part of the human psyche for as long as there have been humans on the planet. (Cain and Abel, anyone? Many of my friends and family are professed Christians. As such, they might be prone to see other faiths as ...

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Monday, December 5, 2016. 215 - Another Day Older. St Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go / I owe my soul to the company store." - Tennessee Ernie Ford - "Sixteen Tons". Today is my birthday. Today, I enter another decade of this chronological journey we call life. A great deal of change has occurred in that time. Today, many of us no longer watch television, instead getting our entertainm...

From Out of Left Field: December 2015

http://fromoutofleftfield.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Thursday, December 31, 2015. 199 - One To Go. The title of this entry has a dual meaning. The first, perhaps more obvious meaning. refers to the fact that I write this on the last day of 2015. Hence the "one to go.". That came about thanks to the help of my talented wife Teresa, without whom my songs would simply be bad poems. With her help, I also recorded my first CD to send out to friends ...

From Out of Left Field: #216 - Scar Tissue

http://fromoutofleftfield.blogspot.com/2016/12/216-scar-tissue.html

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Friday, December 16, 2016. 216 - Scar Tissue. A disturbing scene is described in the post below, and at least one word may not be suitable for sensitive ears. The other day, I was listening to an interview a friend and former colleague was doing on a New Orleans radio station about a documentary she's been working on for the past decade. (Talk about dedication! My mother soon found herself a new ...

From Out of Left Field. The random thoughts of a somewhat random man - off-center and from out of left field. Saturday, December 31, 2016. 218 - A Year To Forget, A Year To Remember. In many ways, I will not be sorry to see the back of 2016. The year got off to a rocky start with the death in January of David Bowie and continued on through the double whammy deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds. I expect to see racism become, if not more prevalent, more visible and overt over the next f...
