 Just so you know...

                                      This is NOT a blog!

       You won't find daily updates on what I had for breakfast, or whether the Viagra is working. Uh, not that I need Viagra. Nothing wrong with me down there, I can tell you. I mean, it happens to guys all the time. No need to worry. And why the hell is my e-mail inbox always filled with spam and subject lines that say, "Get it up, Noodle Boy!"?

       So, what the hell is this site all about? Humor! Funny writing! My published & unpublished musings & ravings. It's essays, observations & fiction, some gentle & literate, others scathing & still funny...I hope.

       But why put all this stuff up on the web in the first place? I hear this complaint from other writers too often:
"These days, there's no place to publish humor you can hold in your hand." (I'm referring to paper, whippersnapper!)
     Sure, if you've got your own TV show, you can get a publisher to print up 100,000 copies of your used toilet paper.
     The rest of us? Eh. So I decided to do a little self publishing on the web.

    You'll find the pieces categorized below. I'll be adding to the list as often as possible. Not daily. I've got a life. Maybe after reading some you'll think to yourself, "Gee! Right about now that toilet paper looks like a pretty good read!" Or maybe you'll laugh a bit, which is what I hope. Whatever you think, though, please feel free to e-mail an opinion on my "Contact Me" page (see link). Thanks!

Like charging $30 a ticket and $6 a hot dog doesn't entitle you to do whatever the fuck you want with their precious games. When I was a kid...oh, sorry. For a minute there I was in geezer mode. Won't happen again.
