There’s One
I grew up and worked in the Chicago suburbs. Occasionally, work took me downtown. In the city center, the loop, there are a number of homeless people, war veterans and others who seek help from passersby.

Law School
When I decided to attend law school, my heart wasn’t in it. I was young, restless and ambitious, and rationalized that it would open doors, but I had no burning interest to practice law. I hated it and regretted the decision, agonizing the whole time I was in school. My attitude hurt my performance, but… Continue reading

Cold Feet
I don’t want to go to the North Pole and find out that Santa is not real. I don’t want to visit an active volcano on the chance the flow would suddenly change and burn me up. I don’t want to go to the moon and find out it is made of cheese, Limburger! I… Continue reading

Confession
My morning routine is the epitome of boring. I wake up tired, take my pills, open the drapes, turn on the television, get mad at the news and make coffee. While I wait for it to brew, I play games on my phone. It’s decadent. Continue reading

Writing
I already write and earn no money at it, so I obviously I would write for free. I am in the process of publishing and may have to accept some monetary reward for my work. Time will tell. I have written actively for thirty years. I have completed about six books, have scores of short… Continue reading

Unexpected
I laugh most at the unexpected twist, a bit of irony, when the straight man reacts to a buffoonish partner. I am a big fan of Abbott and Costello. I have been a lot happier since I learned to laugh at myself, not taking myself too seriously. I am a good source for jolly and… Continue reading
