Holes in My Saturdays


Holes. Black holes. I’ve just finished a book by AG Riddle, a trilogy, which talks about the space time impact of black holes, amongst other things, and it opened a passageway, a vehicle for understanding. Not just about the workings of the universe (albeit a fictional work) but about my own life.
It’s no revelation to those good souls who read my scribblings here and elsewhere that I suffer from mental health problems. But the reality is, despite a belated diagnosis, I am still learning about them, and about their role in my existence.
Yesterday I learned something interesting. I noticed a pattern that has been with me since I can remember. Every Saturday morning, literally every single one, has a hole in it. A space that hurts me. A hole of deep despair and fear. It hits me like a slap in the face and I have no way to counter it.
The Twilight Zone Review: Last Night of a Jockey


“What’s your favorite episode of the original Twilight Zone series?” And here come all the episodes rounding the final turn…3,000 fans and writers responded to the poll…here they come down the stretch, and it’s “The Last Night of the Jockey!”…coming in a tie for 151st place after receiving just 2 votes.
The episode opens with that stock piece of TZ music that always reliably indicated a noirish scene of down-and-out deadbeats and ne’er-do-wells in some city somewhere. The camera pans across the floor where several sports pages lay scattered and headlining trouble for a horse jockey named Grady. Here’s a fun fact: As the camera moves past the prop newspaper called “The Daily Bulletin Sports”, look at the headline: “Jockey Banned from All U.S. Tracks” –you can see it at the 00:43 mark. Then go and call up the episode “Ring-A-Ding Girl” and fast forward to the 03:42 mark where a teenage boy sits in a chair reading the sports pages. Yep, it’s the EXACT same newspaper. The props department simply reused it for that episode. Okay, moving on…

A View of Donald Trump From Scotland!


By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart
A view from the new Kailyard or, how you look over there, from over here…
(kailyard n. a genre of sentimental Scottish literature turned into effective invective comment from one Donald worth reading…)
As I sit in my Kailyard I have to ask – is that any way to run an election?
Donald Trump’s Thursday Private Thoughts That He Doesn’t Tweet


The diary scribblings of T4: Temper Tantrum Toddler Trump
Dear Diary,
Hey, big guy, it’s me again, Donny. I had to go out yesterday to the Veteran’s Day ceremony. I really didn’t want to go, but I had to, that’s what a good president does, so I made myself do it.
I so wasn’t into it, but you do what you have to do, right. Anyway, it was also raining, yuck, and I had to stand in the rain while the whole thing was going on. To be honest, I really don’t understand this holiday, why are we celebrating people who died or came back from the war, and were never the same.
Mental Health Turns to Psilocybin Treatment Option


Aside from medical marijuana to treat PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, a persistent Sleep Disorder and whatever has ever been legally prescribed to me, I am one who can raise my hand and honestly say, I’ve never done drugs. Hell, no. Of course, I’ve been offered tons throughout my long life but “Homey don’t play that”, never have, never will.
My daughter was shocked when I put my lips to a bottle of Heineken at her H.S. graduation celebration. “Mom! That’s beer! You don’t drink.” ‘I sure do now, My Darlin’, you are done and off to college n I’m not even forty, yet. This calls for a celebration!’
Dawson, Price, Butt and Charles Register wins in Philadelphia – Boxing News


Photo by Darryl Cobb JR./RDR PROMOTIONS
This past Saturday night, boxing returned to Philadelphia after an eight-month shutdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic with a four-bout card promoted by RDR Promotions.
All Covid-19 protocols were followed as a limited, yet capacity crowd was on hand to witness the first card in the city since RDR Promotions staged a sold-out full capacity show eight months to the day.
In the main event, Mark Dawson Jr. remained undefeated with six-round unanimous decision over cross-town rival Vincent Floyd in a welterweight contest.
President (Elect) Joe Biden, Radical Right, Parler & More…


While a major problem in this country can be identified as radical supporters in any fashion, the radical right has become a distinct thorn in many people’s sides. This past week since the election has opened a whole new Pandora’s Box of ridiculousness.
Many of us are probably just a smidge guilty of boasting about the projected President being Joe Biden. Most of us understand that 2016 brought two elements of shame to our democratic ticket- a disjointed party separated by Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters, but also the overwhelming knowledge of Russian interference to help seal Trump’s election. A story that the right continues to create new versions in effort to continue spreading the damnation of the left.
Ringside Report Looks Back at Former Heavyweight Champion Chris Byrd


By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart
In era where the heavyweight scene is lauded as being one of the most vibrant in recent times it can be hard to compare any other time, other than the seventies, long believed to be THE era whilst the Mike Tyson years are clouded in every type of drama imaginable.
Consider then growing into your gloves as a professional in the 1990’s and then you won’t need to wonder why it is that not many people remember your name. That isn’t right when you managed to get your country an Olympic silver at middleweight and then went on in your 47 professional fights to become the champion of the world, not once but twice.
Where Were You?


I wanted to reflect on those moments where people might ask you: ‘Where were you when?’ The focus will mainly be on political or world events, even though my life has largely been dominated by sporting occasions. It would be a bit dull, I figured, to recount a series of ‘I was glued to the TV’ moments.
The only one I could describe with some feeling was the Rugby World cup win in 2003, because I was with my mum and baby son. She passed away two years ago in December and I vividly recall us both leaping to our feet and screaming the moment the ball left Jonny Wilkinson’s boot. It was the only time we woke him up without chastising each other – he was not a great sleeper at the stage… How I wish she were still here.
Anyway, back to the focus. Political and world events.

How it Started… How it’s Going…


Full disclosure: I wrote this article on Sunday 11/8/2020, as I have a job that exhausts me and I cannot string two words together when I get home, much less write an article. Keep that in mind as you read. Thanks!
Four years ago, I watched the returns come in on the floor of my living room in a shitty mobile home in New Jersey. The dog was laid next to me, the cats were napping in various spaces. I did not own a television, still don’t, and was refreshing the NYT webpage that was posting the results.
Doctor Curmudgeon® More and More Questions


By Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAAP Doctor Eisman, is in Family Practice in Aventura, Florida with her partner, Dr. Eugene Eisman, an internist/cardiologist
Much to the chagrin of Sir Galahad, the brilliant Siberian Husky who cares for the entire Curmudgeon Household, and thus oversees everything; Doctor Curmudgeon has been making noise about resuming her unpopular question and answer column. This column had been published in an unsuspecting Miami newspaper, unedited because the editor of the advice column had been hysterically searching for filler for his page. The column was also done in real time as the physician spoke with people who sent her queries.
Democrats Don’t Go To Sleep At the Wheel! We Have Two Senate Run Off Races in Georgia to Still Win…


On January 3rd, 2021 the 117th Congress will convene. On that date The Senate will be comprised of 50 Republicans, 46 Democrats, with 2 Independents who caucus with the Democratic Party. So, in effect, 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats. The Senate runoff election in Georgia is going to be critical for the obvious reasons (will there be Democratic majority or not?). But for another very important reason, which is not discussed very often, this will have an even greater immediate impact. Joe Biden will be preparing to nominate the heads of the 15 cabinet positions which will be vacated on January the 20th, or until their replacement this confirmed. Or, if they decide to resign before a nominee is confirmed, an interim, acting secretary may fill the role until then.
