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.
GENERATIONAL GENERALITIES? DON’T TAKE THEM TO HEART
February 14, 2024 by
I admit that generational generalities come in handy. I use them all the time when I’m feeling too lazy to read anything new. Like a checked box, they are what they are and will never change. Never, ever, change. Except when they do. Then what?
