I recall as a youth watching a debate between two men, one a pro-communist and the other a pro-capitalist. The pro-communist was a much better debater. It was painful to watch him running circles around the flat-footed pro-capitalism debater. Near…

I awoke from a dream of my dad (now long deceased). He parked his car at the curb, rolled down the driver’s window, put the car in neutral and walked away. There was more to the dream but this…

I used to think “squirters” were just an urban legend. I had canoodled women all over the world as thoroughly and vigorously as I knew how but I had never made a woman “squirt!” At least not until Diah came along.…

Most of us are stuck behind the walls of our own, private prisons. Some of us are stuck with physical limitations that we were powerless to avoid and that can’t be fixed. Some of us struggle financially all our lives…

I had to attend Catholic school from kindergarten through the eight grade. It was my punishment for foolishly allowing myself to be born into a Catholic family. Despite the assortment of mixed nuts (misfit priests and nuns) who ran…

A few years ago the security department at my company decreed that I had to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel while I was in Jakarta on business. The Four Seasons was regarded as having exceptionally good security. Recent…

Medical advice often falls on deaf ears. Most people hate listening to advice in general. They are particularly resistant to unsolicited health warnings delivered by people they don’t know, don’t trust and can’t relate to.
