They say most of directing is in the casting. When Francis Ford Coppola cast a young actress named Diane Keaton as Kay Adams in The Godfather, it was perfect. For the most part of her life, Keaton never seemed to fit the idea of what a WASP woman was supposed to be, much the lessContinue reading “Rest In Power, Diane Keaton”

John Denver Crashes While Charlie Rich Burns…His Award Slip
It’s strange how specific dates seem to always pop up during a certain person’s life. Last month, I posted how Mike Gundy was fired from his position as head coach of Oklahoma State University’s football program 18 years and one day to his explosive rant against the Daily Oklahoman after a win against Texas Tech.Continue reading “John Denver Crashes While Charlie Rich Burns…His Award Slip”
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day
I want to wish everyone a Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Yes, yes, I know that the current Presidential administration wants us to celebrate Columbus Day, but the irony of it all is lost on so many people. It wasn’t until 1934 where the Knights of Columbus and Italian civic leaders wanted a holiday as peopleContinue reading “Happy Indigenous Peoples Day”
Happy National Coming Out Day!
I want to wish everyone out there a Happy National Coming Out Day! I know things have been hard on many these last few years as the Religious Right and conservatives are using it for a political maneuver. People in the LGBTQIA community aren’t the problem. It’s the intolerant people who can’t stand people whoContinue reading “Happy National Coming Out Day!”
Congratulations To Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
I want to extend my congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for being named the recipient of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. I know a lot of people (who don’t understand the concept of peace) think it should’ve went to another person. But this person has never been a model for peace. When five young blackContinue reading “Congratulations To Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize Winner”
Full Moon Morning Glory
I know it’s not the best photo, but as I was leaving my house yesterday morning I caught of glimpse of the full moon in the west. I was leaving around 7 a.m. to make it to my third disability hearing by 8:15 a.m. There was patchy morning fog as I drove into Tulsa andContinue reading “Full Moon Morning Glory”

Beautiful Sky Over Tahlequah
It still feels like late summer here during the second week of October. I noticed these skies today when I was out.
Diff’rent Strokes For Diff’rent Folks
I forgot that we’re in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month. I know a lot of people would wonder why we should care because so many Americans are of Hispanic heritage. The latest criticism is that Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio , is performing at the 2026 Super Bowl half-time. He was bornContinue reading “Diff’rent Strokes For Diff’rent Folks”
Rest In Power, Jane Goodall!
Maybe it was fate in her surname that Jane Goodall would spend a good majority of her life observing and studying chimpanzees in their natural habitat totally changing what was believing of the species. Her work became synonymous with people who embed themselves so closely with animals or a certain demographic. Goodall passed away onContinue reading “Rest In Power, Jane Goodall!”
