Homeless is Not a Good Place to Be
Not something heinous and disgusting like the garbage they label “rap”, which is not music in any way, shape or form. I don’t even mean some C&W crap which, as we all know, comes out a lot better when played in reverse. That’s when the cowboy’s girl comes back to him, his truck starts running, [...]

Fad expressions are another of the peculiarities of the American people. For the most part I find ‘em pretty stupid and, on occasion, even offensive. The one I’ve had the largest chunk of resentment over in many years is “Shut up!” It’s a takeoff on “Get outa here!” and “Are you kidding me?” The intended [...]

It seems the synonyms of some words change over the years. My friend Alex Irving has dubbed me a “prolific” writer. You may want to examine the definition by clicking the link. I haven’t “produced” a great number of offspring, only two of the seven I had a part in raising to adulthood. However … [...]

On December 16th I ran this piece on our friend Billy: http://atmyfriendsplace.com/finally-a-little-justice. On November 28th I ran this one: http://atmyfriendsplace.com/bonus-good-news. It mentioned Billy had finally “gone indoors” in that a woman dying of cancer gave him a place to live. The other talked about the fact he’s finally got a meager income and even has [...]

That’s a question I hear more often now than before. Before I began developing whatever unknown sickness I had with odd symptoms like coughing up blood. Coughing so hard I’d hack and wheeze, almost unable to breathe. Other times, before Kevin, the lung doctor, put me on Glycopyrrolate, I had nothing to stop the 5-25 [...]

As is always true in any form of law enforcement, you need a sample survey to select from if asked to make an ID, especially if it could result in criminal charges. Be that as it may, while no charges are pending, one of the “suspects” in this impromptu arrangement is pretty freakin’ important to [...]

Christmas Day will be here in less than a few hours. It seemed a great time for me to trot out these tidbits of info. Let’s start with the fact I wholly and completely disapprove of Christmas as we know it today. Admittedly, I was raised as a Catholic. If there’s another group with more [...]

You can’t know this level of utter quietude … raw loneliness, in blatant truth … without having visited it at least once in the past. The best I can hope to provide you is a prep course for the time you’ll find it on your own. Offer you guidance of what I gained in my [...]

Might sound a touch cranky on my part, (how’s that for a surprise, huh?), but I’m getting tired of joining different oddball groups. To be quite honest about it, I’m not a group person and I’ve never been a “joiner”. Not to say I haven’t been on various teams and I’ve associated with a cause [...]

Maybe for only a short time. Sort of like peeling the scab off a wound to help it heal faster. It may even leave a small additional scar, but that’s not really a concern, especially if the scar is someplace others can’t see. What’s important in that case is the healing. Disfigurement in places no [...]
