You have to fill your own bowl…

...before you can pour from it." I would love to agree with the author of this statement, but then we would both be wrong; if you wait for someone or something else to fill your bowl before you start pouring into other's bowls, there's going to be precious little pouring going on. History is full of examples of those who appeared to have nothing making a huge difference by unselfishly giving what little they actually…

Roll away the stone

More than a few years ago, I went through a "spelunking" phase, cave exploring. Most people have misconceptions about caves, that you can just walk around looking at stalagtites and stalagmites, and when you get ready to leave, you just casually walk out and resume their normal lives. In reality, caves are like Charlie's crate; usually very easy to get into, but sometimes very difficult to escape without outside assistance. And have you ever noticed…
The Charlie Bravo Story

0400 at the Casa

As usual, dad is sleeping like a contortionist as I am wedged on under his left side and Mia has staked her claim to her customary spot, which is wherever she prefers it to be and is most annoying. Although I would never admit to them personally, I still miss Max and Bultaco terribly, as they had the whole sleeping thing down to a fine art and were masters of making dad uncomfortable, Max behind…

Soleana Stables

Seems like old times, posting from the back porch. Max and Stevie are gone but not forgotten, with Ajax and Sandy providing the comic relief. The hummingbirds have not yet begun their massive southern campaign to conquer territory in the south, with only a few advance scouts probing the defenses of the Casa del Whackos. It's been a week since our return from out west, and it occurred to me how much a road trip…

The life I lead is only lesson I teach

Some would consider me a social butterfly, as they view my constant interaction with people as a cry for attention, but the opposite is true. Although many times I would rather be alone, I am driven by my time in the crate to constantly reach out to others who in turn view themselves as alone or forgotten. If loneliness is the state of being acutely aware of your aloneness, then solitude is different: to be…

Miss Ellie rides again

For most of the inmates of the Casa del Whackos, things seem to come hard and fast. I guess that we have no one to blame but ourselves, as life tends to come at you faster when you twist the throttle, or in my case, double pump my accelerator. Miss Ellie the old Subaru here; since my semi-retirement at the Casa, I've been spending my days drowsing under my cover out back, but always ready…

Travels with Charlie

When Zach and I were first introduced to royalty back in January 2015, we named her Charlie Bravo in honor of the Honda CB motorcycles we were both riding at the time. I had no idea that John Steinbeck had written a book called "Travels with Charley", in which he travelled across America with his standard poodle, camping incognito in a self-contained pick up truck. His goal was to see the America that was changing…
