My big disappointments are what come up first in a life review. “Dang, that could have worked out better.” Following that track doesn’t lead to a very good review. This post will explain how to work it out better for both baby boomers and the new biggest generation of Millennials. Go big, or go home, […]
CARE ENOUGH WHEN IT MATTERS, OR . . .
October 14, 2024 by
Does anyone care enough? Yes? No? Depends? Ask someone who cares about everything, all the time, with every fiber in their soul, blah, blah, blah. They care, just ask them. How can anyone care so much about so many things? What’s the secret? Please continue:
SENIOR CITIZEN TO JUNIOR CITIZEN
September 26, 2024 by
Being a senior citizen is easy. Wake up every day and thank your parents for decent DNA and a good immune system. That’s it, except for the other stuff. The other stuff? What other stuff?
YOUNG MEN LEARNING TO VOTE
September 22, 2024 by
Young men can do their own math on voting, but I’ll help: One man, one vote; one woman, one vote. You have one vote, bro, and it may not seem like much, but that’s what it is. One. Vote. Does it even matter enough to bother with? One vote may not seem like much, but […]
START AGAIN THEN FINISH
September 20, 2024 by
Is that the plan? Start, finish, and start again? Or is it start, abandon, and forget about it. Either way, you need a goal to keep going. If you can explain why you do what you do to yourself, and it makes sense, keep going. But what about explaining your work to strangers?
PERSONAL ATTACHMENTS KEEP GROWING
July 31, 2024 by
I’ll define ‘personal attachments’ first: it’s your leg, your arm, your head. It’s anything you’ve grown fond of. Baby boomers are officially old enough to have grown fond of most everything. And that’s a normal life.

The first time I wrote out ’empathy feelings’, spell check went to ’empty feelings.’ Empty feelings might be a better key word, just not the one I’m looking for.

OBEDIENCE TRAINING FOR COMPLIANCE
July 3, 2024 by
For most of us obedience training started early. Early Baby Boomers learned from the boss, their old man, who learned it from his old man, then the Army. But that lineup leaves out the goal of obedience: Learning how to treat people correctly, beginning with your momma. Why momma?

WEDNESDAY SEVENS UP ON MIDDLE CLASS
June 26, 2024 by
I found the Wednesday Sevens during my usual pre-writing routine, (reading Yahoo News, scrolling twitter, checking Facebook like a pro.) The sevens are, Yahoo News: 7 Things the Middle Class Won’t Be Able To Afford in the Next 5 Years Twitter: 7 Keys To Life Facebook: Nothing, so I adapted.
