LIFETIME MISTAKE TO CHANGE?
November 10, 2023 by
Have you made a lifetime mistake? Better yet, have you done it quietly so no one would notice? Good job. Now, since we’re all getting down the road with less lifetime in front than in back, in theory, you want to change, you want to fix that mistake. Good luck.
AUTHORITY BLOGGER? COME ON, MAN
November 7, 2023 by
Am I an authority blogger because I say so? An Alpha Male on my own recognizance? In ordinary online discourse, yes. So why don’t I make my claim? I mean, shouldn’t I? I’ve got a few thoughts.

One or my favorite writers traveled across the country from California to New York. He called the Hudson “the river of his birth” which got me going. You can tell if you have a favorite author if they ‘get you going.’ I thought of the river of my birth, except it wasn’t a river. It […]

July 30, 2020 by
Thumbing A Wrestling Ride. The late, great, Rick Sanders traveled light and alone, hitchhiking down the road. He might have been alone, but not lonely.
