Under re-construction
Ever since I got sent home a few months back, I've been reinventing myself. It's how I like referring to it, anyway, although I don't know exactly what that's supposed to look like definition-wise. It feels like reinvention when I'm writing more. Looking for ways to monetize this sumbitch site and hopefully and diametrically change … Continue reading Under re-construction
Made Men
Catterly never pictured himself going out this way; standing in some god-forsaken heat sink, clad in the official old man’s uniform of big-butt cargo shorts and a Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirt, guzzling white wine—probably Pinot Grigio, for Christ’s sake—and surrounded by a bunch of other wrinkled codgers; an entire community playing footsie with the gravedigger. No, his retirement … Continue reading Made Men
A noisy rescue
Damn, it’s hotter than two rats wrestling inside a wool sock next to the fireplace out here! I can barely concentrate on the intensity of combat with the sunburn I’ve got on the backs of my hands. It feels like they're being held inside a 400-degree oven. I misplaced my flight gloves earlier--the ones my … Continue reading A noisy rescue

Years back, on New Year's Eve, in a crowded and cramped apartment in downtown Havana, my then wife and I partied with a family of Cubans that covered about three generations. They loved dancing. The spread put out by a big-butted matriarch was comprised of okay-tasting beans and yucca and expensive chicken and enough rum … Continue reading Che
So what if I am
When you're out in the streets and this guy is having one hell of a conversation with nobody other than himself, that's like schizophrenia, right? When someone else is screaming at the top of her lungs in rage, that's schizophrenia, too, you think. A simple greeting snaps them out of it, you've noticed. You've tried … Continue reading So what if I am
Last dance
The first time I’d been to San Fran-- I mean "SFO"--was years ago with my dive team. It was between ship deployments and we had been ordered to go battery fishing in the Bay plus a few other locations in California. These were the same batteries that power the aids to navigation or buoy lights … Continue reading Last dance
