Blue Moon Wayne

I find myself in this very awkward position of not quite fitting into my new country lifestyle, but also not quite able to relate to my old city living mentality that I was part of for decades. Right now I am drinking a very tasty Shiner Bock, poured into a 16 oz mason jar... my…

Here I am again, and I'm swimming in this soup of news, social media and emotion that I just can't get away from, and it's exhausting. I make some off the cuff remarks from time to time on social media, and in the comfort of this blog, but I make it very easy to differentiate…

I worked for a public utility for thirty one years, and many times that meant having to enter peoples back yards to access our facilities to make repairs. We had a name for this process... we called it rear property line... and we hated it. You never knew what was in the back yard, hiding just out…

I sat on this for a few weeks, but it's time for a brand new rant about something unrelated to politics so here you go...   One of the things that is difficult about winter, particularly when you're retired, is that there isn't the motivation to get out and go when the weather is bad.…

We have become a society of needy incompetent adults, that will fight for the validity of every dumb idea that pops into our heads, and at the same time refuse responsibility for acting out on any of those ideas. Don't tell me how to live my life, but I'm holding you responsible for protecting me…

2017 was a pretty good year unless you were a big fan of the previous eight years. If so, I guess it sucked to be you... unless you have a 401k, or needed a job, and then you did pretty well for somebody as miserable as you make yourself out to be. I hate the…

Last night, after Sheila called it a night, I turned the the lights down and thoroughly enjoyed a movie that I hadn't seen in decades... One of the Sinbad movies, I'm sorry but I'm not sure which one... maybe the seventh voyage one although I am not prepared to swear under oath. Wayne, that's one hell…

It could be the season. It could be the isolation caused by this wet, gloomy January day and the dreariness of it all. I don't know. Maybe you just can't be happy all the time, but whatever it is, today I am feeling my age. I am here, looking to the east, waiting for the…
