Make money doing the work. But what if the work is shady? Like a financial service that holds money six month after a bookkeeping mistake is brought to them? Not good.
AMERICAN WAY, MY VERSION
March 26, 2025 by
The American way of my Dad was different than mine. For him it was finish high school, wait a year for his brother, then go to junior college to play baseball together. Instead of waiting it out, he got with his buddies and they all joined the Marine Corps. Everyone went in, except one, and […]
POLITE SOCIETY WITH FINISHING SCHOOL
January 30, 2025 by
The notion of ‘Polite Society’ brings up images of well mannered, cultured people, living their best lives. It’s ‘old money’, a good vocabulary, and quiet. “I’m sorry,” leads to, “I’m so sorry,” with every other breath. What are they sorry for? As far as I can tell, they are so sorry that everyone else doesn’t […]
MAKE MONEY, BE STRONG, THEN WHAT
January 13, 2025 by
A life goal is to make money? If that’s the goal, and you accomplish it, what kind of a life to you have? Now you can relax and slow down? That’s not what billionaires do, so why would you?
COMMUNICATION FACE, HOW TO READ IT
December 14, 2024 by
A communication face is the non-verbal part of communicating with someone. We all have one. Not all are a resting bitch face, but sometimes they look that way. Accidentally.

THE NEW THING vs OLD THING
August 13, 2024 by
My new thing is blogging like I’ve never blogged before and calling myself a writer. “So what do you do?” “I’m a blogger.” “No, I mean what do you really do?”
OLD FOLKS TALKING IT OUT ON TELEVISION
June 28, 2024 by
Why would old folks not rest on their laurels? Either they’re not tired, or they have no laurels. Last night’s Presidential Debate showed more than just the candidates. It also showed the problem with the format.
THE COTSWOLD SURPRISE, DAY TWO
May 21, 2024 by
The Cotswold surprise would be less if I read more, then I’d know this land was once the land of Wool Barrons and landed gentry. I’d have known it was the land of Big Wool who carried their fleece to market on ancient Roman roads. But I like the element of surprise, just not when […]
PERFORMANCE PRESSURE SELF INFLICTED
April 29, 2024 by
Performance pressure starts with doubt. Will you be good enough? Have you trained to win? Can you do it? These are the same questions asked when people decide to get married.
REWRITING HISTORY: HOW HARD CAN IT BE
April 15, 2024 by
People are rewriting history all of the time and don’t know it. If you repeat what you’ve heard to one person, and it turns out to be not accurate, what’s the big deal? Not so big for one person, but what if you repeat what you know to be false to millions of people? Do […]
