I give you the Neanderthal Philosopher

Only Don can ‘Rush’ to judge so listen before opining
Yeah. It has been pretty darned depressing watching the world spin into a hazy, crazy vortex of emotional reactions and bullying commentary by . . . oh . . . everybody. And, to set the record straight, as bearer of the name, only I, Dandy Don is allowed to “rush” to opine about stuff. Remember, […]

Good night 2017, good night (and good riddance)
What is it Tennessee Ernie Ford sang about? Another day older and deeper in debt? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s it. When I think back to the year that was, 2017, I feel another year older (tons more gray in my beard) and deeper in debt (when something gets paid off, something else breaks that […]
