Good Night

Let me tell you a story about how for me, Christmas and Summer belong together. The story involves one of my favorite little kids. Our little Cecelia. Cecelia loves airplanes. I took her for a flight in my little four seat Piper while she was here one Summer, and I explained about the ailerons, and the rudder, and the flaps...and she understood. She's smart. She not only understood, but evidently she gave a lecture on the subject to her day care class...complete with an "oh wow" from her assembled colleagues. Our daughter Kris says Cecelia is quite convinced she can fly the airliner next time they come to visit. There IS something genuinely magical about climbing into an airplane, and lifting off into the sky. A pilot-poet once said it was like... "Reaching out to touch the face of God." That pilot was a nineteen year old kid...no he was a nineteen year old hero...because he gave his life when his Royal Air Force Spitfire fighter plane was shot down in the Battle of Britan. This podcast is about the connect

See. I knew it. Sleeping naked is good for you. It says right here that "Sleeping naked can improve your ability to have restful sleep, and in general your overall health. When you sleep naked your body's production of melatonn which makes you sleepy isn't hindered by clothing." See. I told you Lady Wonder Wench. Nothing worse than having your body's production of melatonn hindered by clothing that's what I always say. Women's clothing is always confusing to me. I mean For example why does a young woman need a training bra? What is she trying to teach herself? And why does a woman wear a blouse that buttons up the back? And I just saw an ad for a woman's clothing store that said, "underwear 40% off." Wow. What a great idea. This podcast might convince you to be good to your body...and sleep naked.

IT's SUMMERTIME. This podcast says, "Don't let it get away. Grab it while it's hot." Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end it gets, the faster if goes. Happy Summertime.

This podcast is about sitting here in my big, manly black leather poppa chair considering Big Louie's advice about what to do today. Big Louie always says "The only way to live happily ever after is to take it one day at a time." And I do want to live happily ever after. Of course Big Louie says lots of things in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot...available at Amazon...shameless plug. Besides "The only way to live happily ever after is to take it one day at a time" Louie likes to remind us that "If you have any moving parts left, for God's sake, MOVE EM". And "You never know when something wonderful is going to happen." So I'm trying to figure out how I can take my one day at a time like nobody else is taking his one day at time. But I find myself doing so many of the things you probably do too, that I get concerned that we might all spend our happily ever afters together. Now, I like lots of you, but...comon. Why do we do so many of the same things? Lots of times when I sit here thinking I click m

I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, looking for my maybe. My maybe is not the insect that buzzes around making honey in May. The maybe I'm looking for is the most important part of the famous formula that says "Honesty = The Truth + Maybe." If you're not familiar with that famous formula, you'll find it in Chapter 11 of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, Available at Amazon dot com, shameless plug...in the book it says, "Honesty = The Truth + Maybe" means whenever somebody says, "This is the truth, you've got to believe me" it's really time to think to yourself, "Maybe it's time for some serious maybe." As in "Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice." If you'd add some serious "Maybe" to that statement, you'd find that...no...for example the Empire State Building was hit by lightning 23 times last year.

Every month or so, my Lady Wonder Wench looks up at me sweetly, smiles softly, and murmers..."You need a haircut." She never said that to me once before we got married. Now she says it about once a month. We were at an Andrew Rieu concert recently. Andrew Rieu is a vilonist with a classical orchestra and bushels of hair to spare. He stands on the stage, sawing away at his violin and waving his hair all over the audience. All the women in the audience were swaying back and forth urging him to toss his hair their way. Some women have been known to toss various still warm items of their underwear at him...which encouraged him to even more tossing of his hair. Right there in the middle of that estrogen eruption the other night, right in the middle of a sway, my Lady Wonder Wench looked up at me sweetly, smlled softly and murmered, "You need a haircut." I am told many women have monthly problems. My hair seems to be her monthly problem.

Looks like I am in for some bodily harm, because I am about to reveal...a secret code which has come to be called, 'The RULES" in this podcast. And Rule #14 is, "Any attempt to document these rules could result in bodily harm to the male." These rules were obviously written by a woman, and I'm pretty sure the threat of bodily harm to which she is referring has nothing to do with the possibility of her punishing me with some kind of complete sexual exhaustion.

This podcast is about Dr. Bobby McFerrin's prescription for getting your life going. It's a good prescription. It includes 10 Happiness Helpers that might actually put a smile on your kisser. Please give it a shot.

Given the choice between getting a million dollars and havingh a world class back scratch administered by a lady bearing a close resemblence to Catherine Zeta Jones, or my Lady Wonder Wench it would be tough choice. Hey, just think, there's are no income taxes on back scratches. Plus, I've found that my voice makes interesting and some would say sexy sounds during a back scratch...which, on occasion in the past, has lead me to having even more enjoyable activities. And of course there's the time honored old saying, "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours—now let's fall in love. Or at least in lust." Of course you only get a really good backscratch from your lady when she's happy with you. "Happy wife, happy life" is a saying that comes to mind. I'm sure you know that many people must resort to auto back scratching when it has been too long between bouts of social or romantic back scratching. Scratch your back a little with today's podcast.

I just hung my Brooklyn jacket up in the closet. It's a nice blue jacket with the word Brooklyn written across the chest in script...because that's the way the old Brooklyn Dodgers did it in their logos. And I am an old Brooklyn Dodger fan now living in what's called The Red Sox Nation...Massachusetts. That jacket has taught me a lesson most guys never get. Every time I wear it, people look down at my chest. Almost no other guy can make that statement. You can see it happen. Shifty eyes approach from down the block. Almost always they flick down to check out my chest... because of the word Brooklyn that's written there in script. It's a very strange experience for a guy. I realize women have the same experience all the time. For sometimes very obvious reasons. It happens all the time. This podcast explains why wearing my Brooklyn jacket gives me a whole different male perspective on life.

I really am glad I'm not a super hero. Partially because I really would be embarassed to have some of my thoughts written in a big baloon over my head. But I am a guy. And all guys are part animal. Some of us just make better pets than others. I am also a God father. I'm encouraging my nephew to call me God for short. I like that. Speaking of God, if you go to heaven and God sneezes, what do you say? I'm glad I'm no super hero, but I do work out. You've got to be strong to break a dark chocolate bar into 4 pieces, and then eat only one. Besides...lots of interesting things happen in a gym. There's a story about one of those things in today's podcast.

There's one word that's understood in every language...all around the word. You understand it, your buddy in Mongolia understands it. His girlfriend in Germany understands it. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS IT. It's a miracle word. Learn to use it. Especially you guys. Be an understanding guy. Women like understanding guys. Learn how to use the Miracle word guys, and women all over the world will be all over you. Google says, This miracle word is "used to express scorn, anger, disbelief, surprise, or amusement." So it's a word you don't want to see on a note about your income tax from the IRS. You don't want to see it, but you'd damn welll understand it. Everybody all over the world would understand it. If you were a witness when a beautiful naked woman robbed a bank, and the cops asked you to describe her face...you'd probably answer with that miracle word. Behind many an angry woman stands a man who is probably saying THE MIRACLE WORD over and over.

Some waitress flee in terror when I show up at the diner. And IT'S NOT MY FAULT. I think waitresses deserve a lot of respect, and an occasional giggle. Lots of times they're single moms trying hard to take care of their kids. This podcast is an intense pat on the back for all of them...high up on their backs.

Are you doing what you want to do? Or are you doing what THEY want you to do. Comon. Give a listen to this podcast. It might help you take control and do your life "YOUR WAY".

Toxic masculinity is fake news. No kidding. I have to confess that I must ooze masculinity. My ring finger is about a knuckle longer than my index finger, which proves I have testosterone to spare. Seriously. Today's podcast admits that's one of the tests for masculinity the doctors are talking about...when your index finger is longer than your pointer finger you have excess testosterone. You guys are checking that out now, aren't you. Evidently another test is when a man gets a really hot kiss, a couple parts of his body tend to swell up…like his ear lobes. What did you think I was going to say? That's also true. It's a proven fact that when a woman gives a guy a 300 degree wet kiss his earlobes are among the many parts of his body that tend to swell up. I suggest you ladies get your guy to put his best face forward and check it out. I also do lots of manly exercising, because I want my muscles to be big and hard. I never had a girlfriend by the name of Alice, but if I did, when I went to see Alice I'd want

This news just in: Russia has experienced such a large drop in their birth rate that they now have a holiday on June 12th called "The Day of Conception." I am not making this up. It says here, "On this day couples are given a half a day off from work to procreate...and it works. And the birthrate around the middle of March, 9 months from Conception day in Russia, has tripled. To make things even more fun, couples who give birth closest to March 12th, exactly 9 months from Conception day, are given prizes including cars, cash and appliances." I think it may be time to seriously consider collusion with the Russians. Can you imagine the parades and the floats on Conception Day?

Lots of folks are lonely. And that's not good for body or mind. It's as bad as obesity, or smoking 15 cigaretts a day...and it sucks the life out of your life. This podcast is a move in the direction of getting...un-lonely.
