LOTTERY WINNER: WHAT IF IT WAS YOU, OR ME?

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 […]

LIFETIME MISTAKE TO CHANGE?

Have you made a lifetime mistake? Better yet, have you done it quietly so no one would notice? Good job. Now, since we’re all getting down the road with less lifetime in front than in back, in theory, you want to change, you want to fix that mistake. Good luck.

THE MARRIAGE TRIP LOSER: DON’T DO THAT

A marriage trip can go any number of ways, including off the tracks. My wife once got a phone call from an old flame recently divorced saying they were passing through and wanted to catch up. Seems innocent enough? One thing led to another until I went negative full-jerk. Why? Because I know things about […]

AMERICAN SOUL SEARCHING CONTINUES

The American soul is elusive. One time it’s here, the next time it’s there. More than one searcher has found it, only to discover what others have: “They are wrong.”

RISK MANAGEMENT FOR MARRIAGE
