A Streak of Love
A Poem
Three tiger cubs were orphaned by poachers.
Rescued in short order from their eternal torture
by a nursing golden retriever who protected and nurtured.
Age soon dwarfed the retriever as the cubs quickly became teenagers.
Yet age failed to waiver mom’s stern handle on any and all forms of
bad behavior. Time continued to tick, turning those teens into
territorial adults. Wild and dangerous they became yet
unconditionally shared the same pulse. Their mother was different,
a bird dog among a streak of tigers, but love bound them for life
and mom continued to protect them from spiders.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
