A Brand New Perspective...Presented Once More

Greetings!

An ominous word, indeed, if you spent your high school years in fear of being drafted and sent to Viet Nam for your Senior Trip.  The government letter telling you that your life had just been changed forever started with that very simple word.  But I digress…

You probably know me, one way or another, if you’re reading this just now.  But here are the facts: married, three kids, two grandkids, retired.  Oh, and I wrote a weekly newspaper column for 15 years for a bunch of papers in the Dallas Metromess.

It’s true, they fired me twice during my tenure.  The last time stuck, and I haven’t written this type of screed in many years.

I laugh, because nine out of ten of those papers no longer exist… but I’m still here!

The last time I was fired it was because I had penned a very hysterical rant poking fun at the very papers publishing my column.  They had announced the downsizing of the papers to better serve their customers.  I called them on their corporate crap and was promptly terminated.

The funniest part was that they ran the column first.  Guess they never read the dang things before they published them.  Bet they learned a little lesson there, huh?

All that to say this little journalistic endeavor (the brainchild of Senor Poncho Joplin) promises, for many reasons, to be a lot of fun.

First off… I can’t be fired.

Secondly… I am now able to speak freely because I am self-employed.

And thirdly… I still have much to say.  Stay tuned!

Thought for the week:  Don’t let the bastards get you down.
