The Bull Speaks!

One more midnight posting before I make the leap into upgrading to WordPress 2.5…

I’m sitting in the dark as I type this and listening to the music I grew up listening to… and I’m seriously wondering who ever reads this stuff. (Oh yeah, this is going to be a real rambling rant!)

When did it happen? [...]

I reckon it’s because the cotton-pickin’ holidays are finally over. Makes me feel kinda musical, but in kind of a mean way. So, as I sit here tonight waiting on my spine to allow me some sleep, I’m recalling the last ‘long’ conversation I had with my ex-wife, (this some time after she had asked [...]

Yes, Merry Christmas to my Dear Readers!

You bet that it is ‘politically incorrect’ to say those words these days. Then again, when was the last time that you found The Bull in a ‘politically correct’ mood, anyway? This is a time of year when Faith and Family should be at the top of one’s list. [...]

As regular readers of this blog will know, The Bull doesn’t have any issue at all about tossing out shyte on those deserving - even if those deserving are the Government, the Churches (even mine), or the Police.

Keeping the above statement in mind, let me tell you about yesterday, and a story of when [...]

At 11:55 today, (Central Time), it will be sixty-six years since the attack on Pearl Harbor began.

Even after all of these decades, and in this time of war, this December 7th, 2007, let us not forget that horrid day sixty-six years ago that still lives in infamy.

Should you, for some reason, need reminding of the [...]

The Bull been following the news frenzy over comments made by Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman, (A&E’s ‘Bounty Hunter’), concerning his son’s troubled black girlfriend.

I have now listened to both the long and the short versions. I have to admit, the tapes bothered me on several levels. The first level was that I had to go [...]

It’s cold in south Alabama this morning. I’m still recovering from yesterday’s bout with a stomach issue brought on, I think, from bad yogurt or some vile bug one of the kids brought home from school. Sitting in my chair I turned on the tube and caught an issue of American Justice. This episode was [...]

Dig this!(from Fox News…)

SCOTTSBORO, Ala. — A Scottboro couple recently celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary, one of the longest marriages among living people when compared to reports in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records.

Alonzo, (97), and Beulah Sims, (94), celebrated their anniversary a day early Sunday at the nursing home where they have [...]

Even the most fearsome Bull can, at times, be brought low by the smallest of bugs. And so it has been this week as The Bull has fought off an attack of pneumonia. All is improving now after a round of antibiotics, some rest, and meditation.

Having the time to think while being too ill to [...]

It is 2AM on a hot, sticky Saturday morning as The Bull sits down to write this post. There isn’t one issue in particular that is on my mind, other than I wish my bloody back would allow me to still be in bed with Lady Beth. Let me tell you, Dear Readers, I certainly [...]

The Bull recently had a reminder about the true nature of Fear. I found it very instructive, in a re-education sort of way.

Franklin D. Roosevelt said, in times as dire as these we live in now, that “All we have to fear, is fear itself.” Here is an odd case of a Democrat being right. [...]

I have a need to hear the two finest voices since Joan Baez, Nancy Gail and Malece. These two women have sung many a song for me and I have lost myself each time in their words. It has been far too long, my friends!

So many wonderful memories…

I am a very blessed man.

The days continue to pass, and to those wondering where I’ve been note that The Bull is tugging at his chains eager to be free. With luck I’ll be totally bandage free for the first time since 2004 by the weekend. That’s a seriously long time for anyone to have to deal with open wounds. [...]
