I just got an email from a friend who lives in Europe and is celebrating his father's 75th birthday. it just got me to thinking about how fortunate he is to have his parents still, as he is in his early forties.I lost both my parents in one year. My mom died suddenly from a heart attack in her sleep and me dad died nine months to the day from primary brain cancer...I hadn't thought about that period in my life in some time now. Don't get me wrong, I think of my parents almost daily (I have …
Business Class & Home Sweet Home
I got in business class which should be renamed “Not for my fat ass class” But let me say that Schipohl Airport fucking rocks. Bee-bopped right in, nobody screaming at me, didn’t have to take my shoes off in security or put shit in plastic bags.

It is a 400 year …
Coffee Shops: puff puff give
So, I’m walking down the sreet and I pass a sex museum, a marijuana and hashish museum. Anything goes in this place. The aroma of high-octane weed is everywhere.
