The Gorman Blog: Mortgage Done!
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/mortgage-done.html
Tuesday, June 02, 2015. I'm gonna guess that Chase won't send me a congratulatory note because they bought my loan from Century 21 about 6 years ago, figuring I was gonna pay interest for 24 more years. I still owed about $65,000 then and the bank was drooling over the $90,000 in interest that was going to produce. Didn't happen. The bank can't be happy. Oh, well. Posted by Peter Gorman.

The Gorman Blog: A really good hour
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-really-good-hour.html
Monday, June 01, 2015. A really good hour. I try to keep upping my game to stay on top, but it's hard, hard, hard. Then, I got notice that Shaman Portal- just plug in shamanportal.org- a great resource, named my book Sapo in My Soul, as their Book of the Month. Then, I got word that I will have access to the fantastic Fort Worth Davidson rail yard in a couple of days- it's the heart of this city and I really want to climb into an engine and drive that baby a little ways. Is that a good hour or what?

The Gorman Blog: February 2015
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2015. 10 Years with Skunk Magazine. In any event, this was a recent column- it may still be on the stands. Afghan poppy production at all time high, again; Gov pardon’s son; and why bother to report on the drug war anyway? Well, well, well….it’s probably obvious to all of you dear readers out there, but once again, the U.S. war on drugs strategy failed. What is that, about 10 million times in a row? What is it they say about being crazy? You got the pen, Governor, and you’re le...

The Gorman Blog: April 2015
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. I've never sued anyone, but I'm considering it. So the question is this: Since Rick Perry, and our current Governor Greg Abbott have left the several million of us without the financial ability to buy insurance by not expanding Medicaid, could we collectively sue the state of Texas for imperiling our health? Sounds like a darned good lawsuit if there's a good lawyer out there. Posted by Peter Gorman. Thursday, April 23, 2015. Push that Mortgage, Baby! The banker, speaking to me fr...

The Gorman Blog: Dinner at the Gormans, Friday Night, June 5
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/dinner-at-gormans-friday-night-june-5.html
Friday, June 05, 2015. Dinner at the Gormans, Friday Night, June 5. Well, I don't cook in restaurants an. Then there are the dogs: Boots, the guard dog; Blackie, a big dog that only answers to that name who showed up 8 weeks or so ago and adopted us, and the two new border collies, Keys and Beautiful. Plus the cats, of course, and the birds . But then I had to buy and make chicken wings in case Chepa and the girls came over, or Italo and my granddaughter and his wife, or Marco and his girlfriend. Dinner ...

The Gorman Blog: May 2015
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2015. Marco Was a Big Help Today. Every now and then, my younger son, Marco, comes through when you least expect it. And when he does, it's a treat, because he's very focused. And it wasn't a lot of work to fix it. But with my leg and the open wounds, even covered, I can't go anywhere near septic water. Posted by Peter Gorman. Sunday, May 24, 2015. Well, after weeks of rainy days- almost Seattle like, down here bucolic Joshua, TX- I've run out of things to do in the house. Laundry?

The Gorman Blog: One Bit from My New Drug War Follies Column for Skunk Magazine
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/one-bit-from-my-new-drug-war-follies.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. One Bit from My New Drug War Follies Column for Skunk Magazine. So here's one bit from my new Drug War Follies column for Skunk magazine. It's off topic, which is generally, well, drug war idiocy, but then the good folk at Skunk have always allowed me to run off the rails a bit. In all, we’ve got more than 300 million guns here in the U.S., and Texas had a huge percentage of them. You gave me an F in Classic Literature? 8221; as he lays dying, dropped by half-a-dozen cops. One Bi...

The Gorman Blog: December 2014

Wednesday, December 24, 2014. My Merry Christmas/New Year's Wish for Everyone. Posted by Peter Gorman. Saturday, December 20, 2014. Ah, the First Joys of Christmas. Gonna make a nice pan gravy and augment it with good organic vegetable stock if need be. I'm looking forward most to the sauerkraut. Posted by Peter Gorman. Monday, December 15, 2014. Someone Just Quit the Upcoming January 2015 Jungle Jaunt. What options do you have to go it alone? Posted by Peter Gorman. Saturday, December 13, 2014. I said, ...

The Gorman Blog: Always happens, and always burns
http://thegormanblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/always-happens-and-always-burns.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. Always happens, and always burns. Well, first off, the good news: Madeleina, my baby, is growing up. She just graduated from high school and is headed to Tarleton State University in the Fall. The bad news: She wants a car. And I just got out from under the mortgage. And she does not want the little Lincoln sportster that used to belong to Italo, even though it's a great car. Oh, boy. Madeleina said I should not give her anything with the trip starting in less than two weeks. B...
