BOOMER CONFUSION RIPE FOR HARVEST

April 23, 2025 by

Boomer confusion is rampant, just ask. If it’s not one thing, it’s another, until it’s everything all of the time. One think I like to remind myself about: Golden eggs do not come from a goose.

April 11, 2025 by

Agreeing to agree doesn’t seem like much to the uninitiated. It gets tricky when you agree with people you’ve never thought much of; you know, disagreeable people.

WHY WRITING IS BETTER THAN THE REST

March 28, 2025 by

Why writing? That’s the question. Why not paining, sculpting, singing, playing an instrument, and any other creative outlet? Writing is simple, like running. One takes a pen and paper, a phone, a tablet, lap top, or anything else that contains and conveys words, and lays them down. For running it’s a pair of shoes. If […]
