“Oh my God! Dad, you’d better come look at this,” Mom screamed one day while she was doing the laundry.
Next thing I knew, Dad ushered me into the bathroom and ordered me to remove my jeans and underwear.
What could I possibly have done now? I wondered.
I figured another whuppin’ was a-comin’ and I had no idea why.
I was somewhat relieved, but totally confused, when…..
Exploring a secret can tease the human mind and spark curiosity. What is it that makes a secret so curious? Is it we think we are about to find out something that nobody else knows?
Surrounding mankind on our planet are numerous secrets. Secrets that are so extraordinary and enigmatic that they pose even more secrets. Who designed and had the Pyramids, Stonehenge, and Easter Island statues built? Who built the five cities of Tiahuanaco…..
The dictionary meaning for the word “inscrutable”: Incapable of being searched into or scrutinized; impenetrable to investigation. Not easily understood; mysterious; unfathomable.
UFO and alien visitation certainly fall into these categories. Stories of UFO and alien visitation have been recorded throughout human history.
Despite subtle and highly robust physical and numerous indisputable evidence, alien visitation on Earth is thought to be a fertile imagination of the human mind…..
SHIT: Likely the most functional English word of all. Consider this:
You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit. There are lucky shits, unlucky shits, and dumb shits. There is horse shit and chicken shit.
You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, step in shit, shit a brick, and better duck when…..
A couple months later TWA sent me to Miami, Florida, for L1011 autopilot training. After the training was completed, I had to go through London to get back to Saudi.

She met me at Heathrow Airport and insisted I stay with her. I had…..
ALL NIGHT LONG
Well, my friends, the time has come to raise the roof and have some fun. Lose yourself in wild romance . . . feel good . . . all night long.— Lionel Richie
Actually, it became a two day, two night romantic marathon. As soon as I laid my suitcase down, we fell into an embrace. No matter how hard we tried, we just couldn’t…..
Most of my life I can remember wanting to be an author. Unfortunately, I never could find the time to fulfill that dream. After retiring from TWA/American Airlines, time was no longer an excuse. Subject became my hangup. To get me motivated, my lovely wife suggested I write my memoirs. “After all, everyone else is writing theirs, so why not you. You have had a intriguing and adventurous life,” she commented.

Have you ever suspected there was another you?
Have you looked into a mirror and discovered you were nowhere in sight? Who you saw made you wonder who it was that stared back? Perhaps you recognized the person, but haven’t a clue as to who they are.
Have you ever dreamed of two who were the same, but existed in separate entities? Can one become two and not share the same womb? Can one live two separate lives and not know of the other? Can parallel…..
What in Sam Hill? We all know what it means, but where did the saying originate?
Idioms, to make a long story short, are actually sensible nonsense, yet hit the nail on the head in a New York minute. We know what these phrases mean; we all use them.
