Hotsy -- a Narrative History This is an elaboration on a true story told to me by a wino called Tokay Red over fifty years ago in Pete and Gil Rocha's tramp labor camp in Greenfields, California. I believe the original Hog Head Mama and her daughter lived in Fresno, but I have no idea what their real names were.

Harry had escaped from sepia-toned reality of middle-America out into a kaleidoscope of color in the South Pacific. In a very real sense, he had run away to sea; he was now beyond the reach of the brothers’ insidious schemes and the constant sniping of their lazy-bitchy wives. He had left all cares and worries behind him. But he had also left Emily behind and, though he retained no actual memory of her, he was aware of a burning emptiness in his soul – an emptiness that only Emily could fill.

"Bug Spray Cologne" -- I realize many women will fail to see the humor in this essay, particularly since men's colognes and aftershaves are now every bit as noxious. But these concoctions really do stink to high heaven, and someone has to speak up. After Shave, Cologne, Fails, Humor, Heaven, Women, Sky

"Siren Song at the Stanley" Cyrus Huxley, an aging hep-cat, wants no part of the modern world; he has found a shortcut back to 1935, to a certain summer day at the Stanley Theater and to green-eyed Hazel Bingham. He wants only to spend his remaining days back in the '30s and '40s dancing to the big-band era music on the jukebox at the Sweet Tooth Malt Shop. And then one lazy summer afternoon his daughter, in pigtails, twirl skirt and saddle shoes, joins him in his long-ago world.
