  • Look Out Little Dickie
    I'm sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather papa chair in my living room after a very satisfying day. I went to get my driver's license renewed today. They take your picture. It didn't do me justice. It really looks like me. Well at least my teeth aren't wrinkled.
    I brought along a picture of George Clooney, and I asked the woman in charge to use that on my license. I said, "Who'd notice the difference." She looked at me as if one more word and she was going to put me on the terrorist no fly list. And they make you sign your name. They printed my grown up name on the license... Richard Summer. But I signed it with my real name Dick Summer. I like to be called Dick. In today's politically correct world, the word Dick gets a little attention. I like attention.

  • A Better New Year
    I'm sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, looking at a new calendar propped up on the shelf over the fireplace with a brand new number where 2012 used to be. The world is still here, and so are we. We didn't pay much attention to the people who took that Mayan calendar stuff seriously. We sort of pinned a sign on their backs that said, "Gone crazy, be back soon."
    But hey, what if they were right? Just think, no income tax this April. Arizona would never become beachfront property because of global warming, and we wouldn't have to suffer through another avalanche of stupid political commercials in the next election.
    But then I started wondering what would we do if we believed the hype, and really figured we had only one more year to live. Would we get holier or hotter? I think I'd cut loose. How about you?

  • Hark !
    Heard any angelic voices lately? What have they been saying? Ever wonder what would happen to you if you said things like that?

  • I Will Never Forget It
    If you've ever heard 1,000 people singing Silent Night...standing close enough together to keep warm...by a Christmas Eve bonfire in the snow, you will never forget it. If you were there, thank you. It was a long, long time ago. But I will never forget it. Never.

  • Fun
    I'm sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room...and I am a very happy guy. It has been a weird and wonderful week. Visits from our sons Eric and Mark and their ladies Brenda and Donna for Thanksgiving, and some shaky connections from some long ago friend from Facebook, and some working on stuff around the house that proved once again that there are 6 stages to tightening a connection between two pipes. Loose, tight, tighter, very tight, over tight, and loose again. Let's not go there.

  • SEX
    This is about...SEX.
    Wow. Is it easy to get your attention. Three of you instantly signed up for whatever we're going to do, Howard Stern's producer called, and the president of the politically correct forces for good in the community immediately posted a red alert requesting volunteers to stage a protest.
    Calm down folks. We have some great sex news from the smart guys in the white lab coats at Duke University. They explained things clinically, like they always do, but we'll translate it into Louie Louie language. I don't know why they get so complicated. It's like if they wanted to explain that they were out eating lunch, they'd put up a little sign saying, "We have temporarily vacated these coordinates to engage in caloric nutritional mastication and enzyme secretion."

  • Scratch The Fathead
    I'm sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, enjoying lights and heat, and fighting with my computer again, because our power is back on. Like lots of folks around here, we lost power during hurricane Sandy. We're lucky. Our juice is back on and we're cooking with it again.
    You don't pay much attention to your juice till it stops running, and you can't cook, and you're getting cold. I was trying to unscramble some stuff on the computer when a screen came up that said press any key. I did. And the screen went dark. I was about to press every key...with a sledgehammer when I realized the power had shut down. We don't know how to deal with that. It's a reality dis-connection.

  • Fedora Fever
    It's Fall which means it's fedora time. You can't wear a fedora in the Summer. They're too hot. In every sense of the word. There is a flair about wearing a fedora. It slips a hint of Indiana Jones into the way you walk. It be-speaks a bit of Bogart. Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys and their cheerleaders comes to mind. Michael Jackson tilted his fedora with that one gloved hand, and moon walked in his. A fedora turns a nice, ordinary Louie Louie Generation guy into a smooth, suave, sophisticated one man gland.

  • Thanks For The Visit
    I'm sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black-leather poppa chair in my living room feeling pretty good about the fact that I haven't let a window of opportunity slam down on my fingers. I caught this one in time. The new book is done. The rules of the publishing agreement kicks in on November 4th. That gives me until then to give a little something back to you for being part of this huddle.
    If you'd like a free download copy of Staying Happy, Healthy and Hot...the story of the Louie Louie Generation, just drop me a note at dick at dick summer dot com. I can't send the finished book, but I can send the final draft, but only until November 4th...and I'd really like to give you back some of what you've given me for a long time.
