The Return of.... El Torro Salutes: August 2012
http://eltorrosalutes.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
The Return of. El Torro Salutes. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. I was driving the QE2 today. Windows down, sun shining in, the Fuzz nowhere in sight and I was transported to a summer gone by when I was at my grandparent's farm in Manitoba. I think I was about 13 or 14 years old, my cousins were 2 and 4 years older than me. We were stuck in hell. And that summed it up. When I look back on it I can still feel the palpable boredom and distain at being on this secluded farm. Usually it did not. Eventually we got ...

I Said No H!: January 2012
http://isaidnoh.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
I Said No H! Monday, January 30, 2012. What we have here is a failure to communicate. I read something that may or may not have been related to my previous poem, and it was not flattering. Since I thought I had one whole reader, I am going to assume it was a coincidence. If it was not a coincidence, well, there is a definite mis-communication which I am going to do my best to address once I get my thoughts together. So without furthur ado. I am a grown up. But sometimes take time,. Before I will speak.

The Return of.... El Torro Salutes: Jiminy Crickets
http://eltorrosalutes.blogspot.com/2012/12/jiminy-crickets.html
The Return of. El Torro Salutes. Tuesday, December 25, 2012. I can hear a cricket chirping. No, I am NOT in some warm climate, camping by a creek. I am in my house, post-holiday turkey dinner, it is minus 4,000 outside and a bloody cricket is chirping. You see, Lenny the lizard is growing up and he requires more food. So we began buying the ‘large’ crickets. The reason that they are larger is because they are older and when they get older, some sprout wings. What the hell and why me? The poor thing was t...

The Return of.... El Torro Salutes: October 2012
http://eltorrosalutes.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
The Return of. El Torro Salutes. Monday, October 15, 2012. Once upon a time I went to Maui. It was such an adventure for me. I had never travelled any great distance by myself. Prior trips I had made were with The Husband or friends. But one day I got on a plane, by myself and went West. I landed in complete darkness and was immediately assaulted by the humidity of Maui. It took my breath away. I was in heaven. I easily found my luggage and made my way to the car rental. When I got back I fell asleep hard.
