It was around September of 1973. I was in Michigan with my mom as we often were during Labor Day weekend, visiting my cousins. We’d visit and half the weekend was dedicated to watching the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy telethon. There’s a strange, morbid curiosity involved in watching a man put himself through the grinder,Continue reading “Superfriends: the Exasperation of disappointment of youth”

26 years ago, Theresa Renee Lundeen slid into the world, possibly because she thought there was a party out here. I understood her confusion. Being first time parents, we were trying to go for a mood and were playing Bob Marley in the birthing room.  She resembled Tweety Bird for quite some time when sheContinue reading “The First Born”

Do you ever let your toenails get away from you? I swear to god, I clipped the damn things like two weeks ago and I already feel capable of scrambling up a tree with my nuts. Perhaps the squirrel analogy shouldn’t be applied here.  My wife is fond of reminding me that I once woreContinue reading “Snk-KLIK”

Today, the sun’s bosom was heavy with Kamiaru. People walked the land, distancing. Their steps light with Kamiaru. And when they came within earshot of another, they voiced “Kamiaru!” And the other voiced back “Kamiaru!” “Jinx!” they both screamed, and they laughed and laughed and … Kamiaru. Far away, in another place, someone held back.Continue reading “Kamiaru to You”

Hey, more about me! I’m not sure what category of homunculus I am — but I’ve got weird skin. I don’t get any kind of nasty psoriasis or anything like that but here’s the thing: technically, I’m allergic to my own sweat. When I was little, I was allergic to a TON of stuff. TomatoesContinue reading “Odd Skin”

This’ll be a primer for any aspiring Doctor Who fan who wants to get a quality look at some past incarnations of the Doctor. William Hartnell’s Doctor was an imperious, tetchy old man who gave as good as he got. And started a legend. *Note: the first Doctor era mainly focuses alien planets/threats and purelyContinue reading “Lockdown Viewing: Doctor Who-1st Doctor William Hartnell”

Sherwood Schwartz was an old tv producer and —I was going to say “a certifiable genius.” But then I checked his IMBD page. I thought for sure he manufactured a TON  of hit tv shows in the ’60’s. He did not. He produced two. “Gilligan s island” and “the Brady Bunch”. He had produced other showsContinue reading “And The Rest…”

If you haven’t seen Avengers Endgame yet, I have no sympathy for you and will freely spoil it now. During the early moments of the epic, climactic battle between Cap, Thor, Iron man and Thanos, Captain America comes to wield Mojlnir (Thor’s hammer) and it is said that in reality, the cosmos shifted slightly thatContinue reading “When Cap got the Hammer”

I was milling around in the bathroom and smelled something. I couldn’t identify it though. Linda had been cleaning up there, so it could have been anything. Trying to analyze the smell, I wondered if it was toast I smelled. THEN, what I like to call “the show” starts grinding away in my head, asContinue reading “Smelling Toast”

So I was watching a rerun of 30 Rock the other day and there were a number of horse paintings in the background of certain scenes. So of course I made the logical connection: Imagine a guy who could turn any part of his body into the corresponding body part of a horse.  His headContinue reading “The Adventures of Horse Guy”
