COMFORT BLOG LIKE COMFORT FOOD, BUT LESS FATTENING
February 19, 2024 by
Comfort blog? You don’t know it, but you need one. Fortunately I write one. But why is it comforting? What’s more comforting than Jeff Bridges explaining the origins of life? By his measure, I’m a nine year old.
TOO OLD FOR A NEW STORY?
February 18, 2024 by
Too old to start over? The big hurdles begin with the definition of ‘start’ and ‘over.’ To start, just to start, is a fight against inertia to move forward on a project. There’s that page for a new story. The letters won’t get on there by themselves.
PRIORITY LIST: WHERE TO START?
February 13, 2024 by
Priority list? Maybe you call it something else. What if it’s a list someone makes for you? From wife: Honey Do. At work: To Do. Your friends: How do you do? But this is your list. What happens if urgency doesn’t feel like a priority?

POWER TOOTH FILLS THE GAP
February 8, 2024 by
The power tooth, as defined on this blog, is more than a tooth. It is all your teeth, a lifetime of teeth. Is that powerful enough for you to keep up with them? More importantly, powerful enough for me, the tooth blogger?
DEATH WISH? IT’S JUST A STAGE
February 7, 2024 by
Death wish yourself into being a better person? “If I can’t be who I think I am I’d rather die.” Is that a wish, or a condition? I don’t know, but what I do know is ‘the end’ is the end. Most of the time.
