It was a cold day in February. I was “on the road.” And, believe it or not, bad things were going on in the world. Yeah, I know. With all the world peace we enjoy these days, that’s difficult to even imagine. Thankfully bad things are a thing of the past. I’m so grateful, that over the past 36 years, especially, human beings have … Read the rest…

In 1975 I worked a short stint in a bar that featured disco music (aka: discotheque). Yes, I did. Don’t go hatin’ on me. Remember, the Bee Gees song “Stayin’ Alive” was part of that era in music.

Now, I shared all that to lead into another snippet … Read the rest…
Elgielene and I had been married for less than a year. And each day was an exploration into love, joy, and laughter. But then a routine-changing glitch happened. The economy bottomed out. And we discovered what we had been doing wasn’t enough. So, we did what any normal couple would do. We hit the road. What? You’ve never hit the road in a bad … Read the rest…
Several years ago I shared a short story of the less-than-glamorous side of life on the road. It was something that happened way back in the early 90’s.
