The big question in a relationship aberration is who is who? Who is the aberration for the other, who is the norm. So there I was sitting down to a late lunch with my wife talking about aberrations. I started by using a string as an example. String? Stay with me.
EFFICIENT DEXTERITY FOR DIFFICULT TIMES
November 16, 2023 by
Efficient dexterity means different things to different people? Like everything you try for the first time, or the millionth time, always remember one thing: Everyone is different and what matters to you and I doesn’t matter for everyone else. If you’re reading this I’m bunching you with my other readers. “BUNCH.” Now we’re all gathered […]
LOTTERY WINNER: WHAT IF IT WAS YOU, OR ME?
November 15, 2023 by
I don’t know about you, but if I were to come into $650,000,000.00 I’d have to be as a lottery winner. But that’s just me, a regular guy. I’m a regular guy doing regular things, you know, normal stuff. A self-proclaimed Alpha Male Apex Man? That’s someone else. Now you know I’m not the guy […]

COURT CASES FROM ANOTHER ANGLE, MINE
November 9, 2023 by
If you’ve ever had a court case to show up for, what’s the first thing to do? Show up. I’ve been in court a few times. Traffic court. “But Blogger Dave, why not just send in the fine?” I probably should have. Every time. But I had to be the smart guy.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION USES GOOD MANNERS
November 8, 2023 by
Manners matter, good manners, if your aim is for effective communication. Steady eye contact and active listening nods and acknowledgment are part of the deal, but don’t stare unblinking like a psycho. Also, “Yup, yup, yup,” and “okay, okay, okay,” are not examples of active listening. Unless you do it ironically, but only if you’re […]
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.
BIRTH WATERS: YOUR RIVER, LAKE, OR BAY. OKAY, AND OCEAN
November 6, 2023 by
Birth waters are usually called ‘breaking waters.’ I’ll get back to that. For now let’s say “Birth Waters,” and leave the amniotic fluid for later. Let’s throw in some suspension of disbelief while we’re at it, okay?
