About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Big Man On Campus

I was going to
Post
another
Short Story
today but I have a real life story instead.
Yesterday,
my third oldest daughter
and the only grandson living near me wanted to go to the
Pacific Ocean
to go swimming.
Yes,
it is too early in the year for the water to be warm,
it is still freezing cold from the winter.
You would be surprised though on how many people were at the beach.
Spring Break
is here in
Southern California
and families were enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.
After a few hours of swimming,
we decided it was time to go.
As we were walking back to my car,
my grandson found a $20 bill!
That immediately made him the
"Big Man On Campus"
as the saying goes.
The first thing he did was buy
McDonald's
for himself
and my daughter.
Then he was so grateful that I took him to the beach that he gave me $3 dollars for gas.
When his
Dad
came by to pick him up,
he gave him $5 dollars.
And my grandson still went home with $5 dollars of his own.
"Big Man On Campus"
with a sweet heart!
 This is,

And,

- St. Francis of Assisi -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
