A friend of mine used to joke that he would give anything except the time and effort to get into shape. Making any change in your life requires both of those. Having the desire to make a change doesn’t accomplish anything if you don’t put the work in and recognize the time commitment. Change doesn’t… Continue reading October 23, 2013

I believe that we, as individuals, are mostly responsible for determining if we have a good day or a bad day. How we choose to face the day and how we choose to react to what the day throws at us makes up ninety percent of deciding good day or bad day. There are certain… Continue reading October 12, 2013

One thing that I have noticed about me lately that is different than what I’m used to is that, for the first time that I can remember, I’m not concerned with the “end-game” of my actions. That isn’t to say that I don’t care what the consequences are or how they affect my life or… Continue reading October 9, 2013

In an effort to hopefully increase the number of people who read my blog, I am going to make sure I post every Wednesday and Saturday. The Wednesday blog will be more of a thematically connected one (as if it were one long essay that I was breaking up into 1,000 word sections) and the… Continue reading October 5, 2013

Like most people, I’ve always been a big believer in the motto “Actions speak louder than words.” I think the reason that this is basically accepted as a truth is because it speaks to conscious vs. subconscious nature of behavior. Maybe an even better comparison is to the two classifications of muscles: voluntary vs. involuntary.… Continue reading October 2, 2013

My friend Carl made an interesting about my last post. He referred to what he called social currency and compared the internet to being like the modern day water cooler or bar-the place we go to talk about life. I certainly think that is true on several levels and to a certain extent, but to… Continue reading Spetmeber 21, 2013

For a while now, I’ve been convinced that my right ear is deformed. Wait. I forgot I wanted to have a soundtrack. It just so happened to be the last song I heard on my walk this morning, so it doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it doesn’t help that I have a weak thing for… Continue reading Saturday, August 24th, 2013
Excuse me waiter. Could I have another of those Singapore Slings?
Twenty years ago today I first landed in Key West. Here’s the story: On March 12th and 13th of 1993, a blizzard shut down the entire East coast. Every major airport was closed, two hundred and seventy people died, and record snowfalls were recorded in almost every town, including a total of seventeen inches falling… Continue reading Excuse me waiter.

The skin and the bones
Like most people, I harbor a fantasy about winning the lottery. Unlike most people, I find myself daydreaming about elaborate scenarios of just what I would do not only if I won but how it would be different depending on how much I won. Let’s face it, a $1o million fantasy is probably a lot… Continue reading The skin and the bones
