Life begins the moment you realize you’re having fun with the people around you. If the people are scientists of varying disciplines, life origin is based on solid theories. It’s a whole ‘nother story with anyone else. What if it’s some random blogger?
DOING MORE? MORE WHAT?
August 9, 2024 by
‘Doing more’ is the vibe hanging over me, maybe you too. ‘Make your time count.’ ‘Give your all.’ ‘Don’t waste your energy.’
LETTING IT FLY? WHERE ARE THE WINGS
August 7, 2024 by
‘Letting it fly’ is another way of saying, ‘Is that all you’ve got?’ One of my goals in life is not backing down to fear. Am I afraid of a famous tea room? Yes, but I let it fly. How did I get over this unreasonable fear? I had help.
PERSONAL ATTACHMENTS KEEP GROWING
July 31, 2024 by
I’ll define ‘personal attachments’ first: it’s your leg, your arm, your head. It’s anything you’ve grown fond of. Baby boomers are officially old enough to have grown fond of most everything. And that’s a normal life.

THE DAY AFTER TODAY IS THE BEST DAY, OR IS IT TODAY
July 15, 2024 by
I grew up thinking good times were the day after I first heard about ‘delayed satisfaction.’ People who wanted it all, and wanted it now, were not realistic. What do you want? All. When do you want it? Now. Why didn’t that work out for me? I had brothers and sisters.
PORTLAND HISTORY COMEBACK JUST IN TIME
July 14, 2024 by
Portland history used to be easy. Two old guys flipped a coin in a clearing and here we are living happily ever after. That’s my story, but I’m not sticking to it when I tell the Portland story.
INTERNET SHOWTIME SATURDAY WITH A SIDE OF HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
July 13, 2024 by
I’m a big fan of internet showtime, the daily scroll. But I keep it simple. I’m not looking for verification, authentication, or validation. Not looking for lawyers, guns, or money. What I’m looking for is attention grabbing posts, videos, and stories. Make me pause. Is that asking for too much?
