Events

A friend who got me started on blogging reminded me on recent post, to simply keep writing. I have started about 4 articles in the last month and published none. So rather than worry about coming up with my pulitzer prize winning post, here are some thoughts about a recent event.

Got Viagra?

It would seem a 70 year old U.S. Military retiree choked an armed mugger to death while on a bus during a cruise tour somewhere where in Costa Rico. All I can say is "Hooah, Hoorah, Hooyah, Up you go into the wild blue yonder," mostly because I don't know the gentleman's prior service. After 9/11, not too many Americans would seem to take the idea of sitting idly while armed men take control of them while on public transportation, not even our venerable senior citizens. Ironically, after choking the assailant out and dropping the body off at a local Red Cross, the tour group proceeded with their planned outing. The guy is probably back up on the Lido deck right now, sipping a pina colada. "Yeah babe, I'm the guy you heard about. Why don't you bring a lady friend and you two can tag team me on a little shuffle board, maybe hit the hot tub when we are done." Cyalis or Viagra? None needed. As a matter of fact, with Mark Martin no longer racing for Pfizer (been about 2 years now), they should sign this guy up as a spokeman.

EXCELLENT! Glad to see you writing!

Good story, too. It's not just about personal responsibility, it's about stepping up and doing the right thing.

"Hooah, Hoorah, Hooyah, Up you go into the wild blue yonder!"

Rock on, my man, rock on!
