Shout Out

   I often look back on the adventures I have lived over the years and wonder if I will be remembered fondly by the people I have known throughout my life. And so far so good.

Now for a Shout Out

Thank you. Every time I hear a new song that I like, I always say to myself, my favorite drummer could play that!

i loved playing your music

   That is one of the greatest compliments I have ever gotten.

"I loved playing your music!"

   If I were smart enough and didn't waste three weeks to come up with an appropriate reply like;

"It was our music. I just wrote the basic parts of a song but it took a group to make it a real song!"

   That's what I should have said.

*****

P.S. Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone, but this Anonymous Drummer also gave me the second greatest compliment I have ever gotten.

   He once told me over five years ago;

"I wonder how far we would have gone if you had stayed sober!"

   Actually, I think it is my favorite!😎

   Listen for the scream three quarters of the way through the song. That's the Anonymous Drummer!

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I Know I Am Cool

   I thought I would re-post this story since there seems to be a familiar theme to what my grandson thinks about me. I was making a joke that I knew what 6, 7 meant and I said forty-two!

   He walked away mumbling something to the effect, "That wasn't cool."

I Was Cool Once

   I was watching one of my grandsons this past weekend when he said something that I thought was kind of funny. Here is a little backstory so you can understand what happened.

***** 

   Last Christmas he got a Gold Necklace, with a diamond studded

Cross attached to it, from his Aunt.

He is only 10 years old.

***** 

When he was about to leave to go home with his father,

I said,

"Don't forget your Bling."

Then he said, 
"You can't say that grandpa. You're too old!"
My reaction to that was,
"What do you mean? I'm cool."
He looked at me
and smiled.
"Grandpa, you where never cool!"
Laughing I said,
"I was cool once."
Now he was laughing
and he finishes by saying,
"Nobody was cool back in the olden days!"

This is,

I Never Wore The Bling, But I Was Cool In My Day

Really, I Was

Here I Go Again!

   I said I would return to writing this blog after I came back from my vacation.

So I'm Back!!

   I have a few ideas on what I want to write about, but I guess I will make this a diary entry.

***** 

   It was a scorching, sunny day, with a hot breeze coming up from the southwest. I arrived at the airport early, as I like to do. It was at a time before the government shutdown.

Boring!

What else can I write about? 

*****

   Well, I plan on writing once a week at first, then I will see how it goes from there.

   This is good practice for me, writing on my blog. Because I plan on publishing my third book in the spring of 2026. So I need to tone up my grammar skills before I do. Spelling will take care of itself.

On that note.

*****

   I had a great idea while I was away.

   When I was trying to get a Literary Agent to help me release my second book, I was told that I was too wordy. I wrote like the authors of the 1950s and 60s.

   I thought about this and I figure, they are probably right. Those were my literary heroes growing up so why wouldn't I emulate them? But what else was going on with me, at that time, while reading those books?

   I remember!

   I was smoking pot which enhanced the imagery in my mind of what I was reading!

So my suggestion to you all,

read my first two books while smoking pot

and they will make a lot more sense!

😎

*****

Now something completely different.

***** 

   There is a new demographic in the United Kingdom making headlines.

   I'm sure if it is happening over there, it is happening in other parts of the world.

It is the rise of the

Silver Snorters!

   As many as 723 pensioners sought medical help for the Class A drug Cocaine, with eight of those above the age of 90!

(As of March 2025) 

(Pensioners is what Brits call their Retirees)

Those Old Happy Geezers!
