COMFORT ZONE AND BIG SNAKES? GET. OUT.

If you’ve ever seen a snake wrangler in their comfort zone, they probably don’t look like this. There I was in a lovely Santa Monica apartment with nice people in Los Angeles. They seemed like nice people, then I saw the snake in a cage. “Do you like snakes?” someone […]

SPORT TALK RADIO ADS ON PORTLAND’S 620, 750, 1080

Look at the face of sport talk reason. This man isn’t on sport talk radio because of his face. This face is on sport talk radio because of the audience. They want him. They need him. It doesn’t happen often, but if the airwaves line up in the right order while I […]

MICHAEL BECKER WALKS WITH PURPOSE

I like people who channel their problems constructively. They’re effective in making me feel like the whiner I’ve always taken pride in. Michael Becker channels his problems constructively, and he’s a big boost. I found him in a search of cancer memoirs. We’ve exchanged pleasant emails. Have I told him I’m scouting for my […]

CANCER MEMOIR FROM SMART GUY WITH HPV CANCER, AND IT’S NOT ME

Michael D. Becker wrote his cancer memoir titled ‘A Walk With Purpose.’ By all accounts he’s lived a life with purpose, so the walking with purpose stuff is expected. He walks with purpose, so do you. So do I. We all walk with purpose. If not we’re just wandering around aimless, without […]

What’s better than traveling to new places and meeting the locals? Being the locals and meeting travelers. A Japanese exchange student proved the rule this summer. With kids out of high school and college you’d think a couple of empty nest boomers would enjoy themselves with the usual things baby boomers get […]

Travel Education Fatigue Makes Well Rounded Snob

The first time I heard an acquaintance talk about travel education I was impressed as hell. They made me want to do it, to go where they’d been. Then I heard it again, and again. And again. Has this happened to you, travel education fatigue? You need to fight through it.

HOW TO NOT SEE THE EVIDENCE

Stare and compare the evidence. That’s what a telecom pro called the first key to success. Is something wrong? Look at it. Look hard. Stare a hole in it, then compare it to normal. Normal works across the board. Abnormal, like the brain from Abby Normal in Young Frankenstein, doesn’t work for everyone. […]

FEAR OF FAILURE COLLECTS REJECTS

Fear of failure is the biggest concern in life. Across the board. For everyone whether they’re aware of it, or not. Heart failure in a hospital brings a Code Red, Code Blue, a code color that brings the crash cart cavalry to start humping and pumping a patient back to life from their flat […]
