Image by RitaE from Pixabay The Everyday Staple What could be more boring than a meal that consists of a rump roast, boiled potatoes, sliced carrots smothered with plain old gravy. I tend to think of this meal as an American staple served on countless tables throughout the good old USA, each and every day. With the cost of beef as high as it is today, that scenario may not be as prevalent as in days gone by, but my thinking is, it still serves as basic […]

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay My Thoughts On Judas Iscariot When Jesus Christ chose his apostles, the one he knew would later betray him was already possessed of the devil. Judas Iscariot was a lover of money above all else and this was his evil undoing. Even though he followed the Savior’s teachings for three years, his heart was bent on selfish considerations. I have often asked Christian leaders that I associated with an ominous question. In spite of all biblical evidence to the contrary, was there any possibility […]

Image by Balik on Pixabay How Important Are Your Kidneys The Sad Truth One thing I hate to see happen is the various health problems that can affect children at a very young age. One issue that came to my attention was kidney disease in a child or young teenager. I mean, they are just starting out in life and facing problems that should be the exclusive domain of an adult. They haven’t even had much of a chance to abuse their bodies yet like those done […]

Image by SAIYED IRFAN A on Pixabay/ Text by SJKeyChronicles The Aftereffects Of A Recent Hurricane When Hurricane Michael hit the Panhandle of Florida in October of 2018, I feared the integrity of my home would be seriously tested by the anticipated wind gusts for my area. Even though we did have severe conditions and horrific rainfall, there was no resultant damage to my power lines or metal roof. But there could have been. One of my neighbors had a tree fall on the electrical service lines […]

This story was submitted by our son Eric Key. SJKeyChronicles.com does not condone any of his shenanigans carried out as a youthful misfit. Fortunately he has morphed into a respectable human being having put his misadventures behind him. Hindsight Hallucinations My name is Eric Key and I must point out one thing as I begin this convoluted tale of mine. In today’s day and age, we are seeing more confrontations and disrespect towards our law enforcement officers. For the record, yes, I am pro-cop. I’m not […]

Sad State Of Affairs My son Eric, who used to own a computer repair shop in Canton, New York, headed up the acquisition of a new laptop computer for me in the year 2010, and I have been using it for the last 10 years. He was able to get a good deal for me for about $700 back then. The only major improvements he made to it in that span of time was to upgrade the RAM and Hard Drive when the original parts became obsolete. […]

The Nearest Possible Plant That Might support Life Imagine, if you will, you are tucked inside the fastest, most powerful spaceship ever created. You are hurtling through space at a rate of over 62,000,000 miles per hour being pushed along by the latest fusion rocket engine.

My First Car When I was 16 years old, I had just recovered from a horrific car accident in Mississippi (Mississippi Death Road) that came close to ending my life. Santa Monica, California was our next residential pit stop and you don’t get around there without some type of transportation for yourself. The crux of the matter was, my parents were not excited about me owning my own vehicle as a result of that accident. The local high school would not be a candidate for my senior […]

My First Movie Script This blog is sort of a sequel to one that I wrote about Hallmark Christmas movie offerings entitled “The Iconic Hallmark Christmas Movie”. Since it was a satirical look at the typical plot engendered by Hallmark to celebrate romantic endeavors during the Christmas Holiday season, I thought it would be interesting to create an antithesis plot in contrast to the way they envision love stories during the rest of the year. “MY PARODY OF THE ICONIC HALLMARK ROMANCE MOVIE: FLIP SIDE ROMANCE” So […]

Rehash On January 21st, 2019 I published my personal dissertation on searching for the Perfect Burger (In Search Of The Perfect Burger: Part I). As of this date, I still haven’t found a place that serves one. At least not in this day and age. We have a restaurant here called Ed’s Restaurant that serves a burger called the Pub Burger that is the best one in town, but it still depends heavily on the condiments it is served with. The size of the patty is such […]
