FOUNDATION WORK, BETTER BALANCE, STAND UP

December 23, 2016 by

Even giants need good balance.   You’ve heard the saying “You can’t know someone until you’ve walked in their shoes.” Or their footsteps. Take their path. They all mean the same thing: Your feet. On the ground. No matter what the reason, your feet on the ground defines you. From barefooting to mountain climbing boots, […]

BLACKENED BLOGGER WORLD LIGHTENS UP

December 14, 2016 by

  Blogger world wisdom says keep your post short with a snappy title. SO GET BUSY AND WRITE? If they could say it and make you believe it, a blog guru would say write a great title and skip the post to concentrate on the next snappy title. “Headlines,” they growl “Headlines make the post.” Pretty soon […]

IF YOU WRITE A BLOG, WRITERS’ BLOCK NOT ALLOWED

December 8, 2016 by

So you think you can write a blog? Really? If you hang out with writers, you’ve heard of THE BLOCK, writers’ block. Sounds like this: “I sit there like a writer. I fill up the screen with words. None of it makes sense. Day after day I delete, then delete some more. I’m lost.” Lost, […]

FIRST BOOK YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH?

December 3, 2016 by

Not the first book you read, the first book you loved. Mine was Wizard of Oz, a beautiful edition with pictures. Not a comic book, but a good transition from comic books. It was Grandma’s book. I told her I loved her book. And I did, loved it enough to get one for a birthday, […]

BIG MONEY MEANS BIG EDUCATION?

November 25, 2016 by

Learn how to use Big Money. Rich guys are smart guys. If you learned that in school, you might be rich, too. What if you got rich another way? That’s when you you slide up on smart people and ask, “If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?” The joke is pretty funny, but not […]

SOCIAL FILTER, FIREWALL, THE FINGER BREAK

November 21, 2016 by

You need a social filter or firewall when you get the finger?   In some circles flipping the middle finger, flying the bird, is just another form of non-verbal communication. Someone hears, “Blah, blah, blah blah blah,” and raises that finger in response. How to respond to a silent signal in public without conflict? That’s […]

VICELAND, EMERALD TRIANGLE, FARMERS

November 18, 2016 by

Weed farmers vs corporate cannabis.   Farmers are the backbone of society. No farmer = no food is the usual view. No food means no happy people, no matter what North Korea says. Unhappy people means street fighting man comes out swinging. Then it’s taser, water cannon, arrests, trials, jail. Not a pretty picture anywhere. […]

SMALL TOWN CITY LIFE

November 8, 2016 by

Your small town isn’t as small as you think. I told a new friend where I came from, how big it was. He said where he comes from, everyone in towns as small as mine were hillbillies. What he didn’t know was where he came from everyone’s a hillbilly. Like it’s a secret. Leaving North […]

MAN’S GAME FOR PUBLIC OFFICE?

November 4, 2016 by

If it’s Man’s Game, it comes with Man Talk. Man talk comes in every flavor, in every color of the rainbow. Man’s Game is more straight forward. Man’s Game is harsh and unrelenting. Call it frightening. Men do things others’ can’t do. It’s not our fault that the limits of human achievement, like world records […]
