It happens to everybody, at least those of us who are fortunate to be gifted with a life free of serious illness or injury. At some point, we get old. But, just like in the Letters to the Editor in the old Penthouse Forums, I never thought that it would happen to me. However, even…
Here’s my virtual Christmas card to all readers of Riverside Green. As you can see, I opted out of being in this year’s picture, and I think we’re all better off for it. I apologize for my absence from this blog as of late, although some of you may have considered that my gift to you….
As my more intelligent blog readers know, Thanksgiving is normally the time of year when friends and family come together to celebrate the blessings and good fortune they’ve received throughout the year. It’s also a time to remember how much you dislike most of your family members, and to watch the Detroit Lions lose a…
Long, long ago, in what certainly seems like a galaxy far, far away, I knew a young woman named Jessica.

It’s a scandalous, salacious story that half of the state is sick about, and the other half…
Please welcome my dear friend and serial Shelby Mustang owner, Chris B., to Riverside Green. I introduced you to Chris almost two years ago on the pages of TTAC, and I’m thrilled to have him contributing here whenever the heck he feels like it. Chris was one of the lucky Shelby owners to receive an invite…
Everybody please welcome “Rodney”, my old Ford-selling pal, to these pages. We’ll be hearing quite a bit from him in the near future. At the end of the piece I’ve included a gallery of video captured from a trip we took to Woodward Skate Park back in 2003, just for fun. Rodney’s not afraid to…
I truly envy people who get excited about traveling.
