Doing the ‘right thing’ used to be easier. Maybe is was because baby boomers didn’t have as many choices for doing wrong? I didn’t see a lot of choices besides ‘Do what you’re told’ growing up. From parents, to teachers, to coaches, scout leaders, and beyond, we were told what to do by people we […]
HEALTH JOURNEY ON A ROUGH ROAD
May 2, 2024 by
A ‘health journey’ is a phrase used by people with lots of doctor appointments. If you’re old enough you either take that rough road yourself, or you show up for others on it. Personally, I’ve never liked the term. I like it even less when it applies to young people coming down with old people […]
TOYOTA HIGHLANDER FOR LIFE?
April 18, 2024 by
I owned a Toyota Highlander, but it didn’t start that way. Somehow the wife and I went to a car dealership traded a van and ended up with a Rav4. She decided it was the worst car ever since I insisted on the barebones cheapest version. By the time we got home I knew it […]
HARD LOVE DADDY ON A HEALTH KICK
April 16, 2024 by
I saw hard love work on my Dad after he got his heart fixed. No smoking for the old chimney. The doc said it, the family said it, the friends said it. You’d say it too.
REWRITING HISTORY: HOW HARD CAN IT BE
April 15, 2024 by
People are rewriting history all of the time and don’t know it. If you repeat what you’ve heard to one person, and it turns out to be not accurate, what’s the big deal? Not so big for one person, but what if you repeat what you know to be false to millions of people? Do […]
HOMEWARD BOUND? YES WE ARE
April 10, 2024 by
Homeward bound is the goal of all travelers. First it’s all about getting out and around, seeing new places and new people. Then it happens. Whether a face, a building, or something you eat, you’re ready to turn the corner and head for home. That’s the story, but . . .
LIFE PLANS? MAKE THEM SOONER THAN LATER
April 6, 2024 by
Who makes life plans? Who has a life plan? I don’t, but my wife does. Always has. She’s got a plan for everything, then back-up plans for every possibility along with back-up plans for the back-up plans. But I knew this from the start. How?
YOU MIGHT BE A RED FLAG IF …
April 2, 2024 by
Whether a first date, or long term relationship, when you look at the other person and they look like a diver’s helmet, it’s time. Unless you want to take a dive with them. Then it’s a question of how deep. As rule, you don’t want to go any deeper than you can dig out from.
PERSONAL CONDITIONING FOR BETTER LIVING
March 30, 2024 by
What’s the first sign you look for when see someone for the first time? For some people it’s a watch, for others it’s shoes. Or a haircut, a jacket. Maybe fancy fingernails. But no matter what you see someone wearing, what stands out first is their personal conditioning.
ONLINE PRESENTS, OR ONLINE PRESENCE
March 12, 2024 by
Online presents are the gifts you give yourself. And you’ve earned them, however magnificent or meager they may be. Baby boomers know all about the differences between magnificent and meager. So should you. Please continue.
