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

I’m a big fan of The Far Side cartoons, certainly one of my favorites that have been out there. I remember when I was in high school I had a Far Side day-a-page calendar and on October 26 (my birthday) there was a drawing of a short order cook throwing a couple of guys out… Continue reading September 28, 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
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
Virtuous
Ever since it was delivered, my computer has been trying to teach me patience. The space bar does not always seem to work, especially if you happen to catch it on the edge and not press firmly in the middle, and I don’t always seem to hold the shift button down long enough when capitalizing.… Continue reading Virtuous
What is it worth, to you?
Today’s the day I go from PA to NYC for the last leg of my vacation. My brother had a business meeting this morning (apparently ministers have business meeting other than their weekly gathering on Sunday mornings) that was halfway between Oxford where he lives and Philly where the bus station is, so I drove… Continue reading What is it worth, to you?
Word of the day
I’m searching for a new word. It may exist, it may not. If it doesn’t I have no problem creating a new one. I don’t mean nonsensical ones like the ones that Mary Poppins or your local politician come up with, but rather making verbs and adjectives out of nouns and prepositions. Some times the… Continue reading Word of the day
