I attended the funeral of a friend 10 years ago. It was by far the most unpretentious of funerals. Notwithstanding, it was real, vintage, and genuine. The face of the funeral looked identical to my friend. The body was well done, but I'm speaking of the character of the funeral itself. Like my friend Cal, it was the real McCoy. 071221PS...

Premium Member Naive Lou and Clueless Cal
Naïve Lou has no clue about boys and their toys. She feels sure she can lure Cal away ANY day from old cars, gaming wars, casinos. She just knows he’ll prefer time with her! Lou’s his gal. Clueless Cal thinks she’ll be frequently there for him— at his whim. Facebook time will decline. Girls’ nights out will, no doubt, not be ceased, but decreased! ******* Should they wed or instead say “Good-bye” with a sigh? ****** Well, these two said, “I do” years...

Premium Member My Brother Cal
We were 19 months apart, and it was clear to me From the start that he was dutiful to remind me That he was the older and I best bowed to him And his every command or there would be trouble. He picked fights for which our dad disciplined us both. I never understood why dad didn't bother checking to...

Premium Member Ode To Silent Cal Coolidge
They called him 'Silent Cal' He didn't say very much at all President about 100 years ago Seems like longer than that now, though Guests at White House Parties Waxed eloquent in line and verse While Cal Coolidge sat there nervous His responses tense and terse On campaign barnstorming trains Reporters engaged him in...

So you want to get to know me, you want me in your life. Your friends have said that I'd be good for you, But can you trust their judgement? do you think they know me well? Do they know that I will make demands of you? You see I'm quite demanding, I'll use up all your time. I'll make you spend...

Dined With Cal
Vanilla ice cream Creamy butter on my bread Calories pleasure Sweet maple drippings Creamy salty buttered toast Add calories joy Fluffy cream pancakes Strawberry crimson fresh blend Calories well tamed Hot pineapple cakes  Squeezed foamy apple cider Calories for health? Greasy cheese pasta Sprinkled egg tumbled bagel Calories full blast! Egg pie, peach float tart Brewed steamy milk chocolate Calories heart melt....

"Silent Cal" Coolidge was known for holding phrase to a dearth! Presiding at laying a cornerstone he turned the customary spade of earth. The crowd eagerly awaited his remarks. He thought and finally did affirm, As he strolled to...

So-Cal Life, It's Our Life
Waken' up to a brand new day. Hitting up the crew to see what's new. Hitting up the homies. Let's see what they want to do. As time grows by, the group gets bigger. Then someone will eventually pull the trigger. A good idia will lead the way, and only kooks are left to stay. As we roll-out in...
