I’ve decided to dedicate my blog post today to my friend Frank Miceli. I wrote a Facebook post a few weeks back about the brotherhood of military friends. I wrote it after visiting my friend Frank at his home on Long Island, NY. Frank was bed ridden during the visit; Continue Reading
Religion and Politics
I will start this post with complete transparency. I am not religious, I don’t believe in God, prayer, the bible, or any of the nonsense that comes with it. I spent twelve years in Catholic school and honestly believe that everything I was indoctrinated in was for the lack of Continue Reading
WHAT DO I THINK? (Part 2)
I split this blog post into two parts due to its length. Didn’t want you to have to cover too much ground in one sitting. Remember what Tony said in his post about our founding fathers. They established our form of government, the constitution and bill of rights as a Continue Reading

Our Founding Fathers are often portrayed as a bunch of rich white guys who suppressed women and benefitted, either directly or indirectly, from the slave trade. Probably, all true These men were not saints or gods, Continue Reading
American Vanity is killing our republic
If I heard this one line once, I’ve heard it a thousand times, America is the greatest country in the world, usually accompanied by someone waving an American Flag! Now, I am as patriotic as they come, I served my country for over 33 years in the Air Force, and Continue Reading
THE NEST
I was born in 1963 in South Philadelphia. I spent my childhood and the first part of my adult life there. I lived in a row house. You can’t live too close to me, and streetlights don’t really bother me. Most of my parents’ siblings (my Aunts & Uncles) lived Continue Reading
