HEALING PROCESS? “BUT YOU LOOK FINE.”

October 19, 2021 by

The healing process starts after a problem is identified. At least that’s the normal step. ‘Normal’ being the operative word. If something feels off, you get checked out, and you were right. Something is indeed ‘Off.’ It’s a lump, a bump, a mole, a dry cough, night sweats, chest discomfort. Need I go on? Why […]

FREEDOM MASK: WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

October 14, 2021 by

What’s a freedom mask? Is it the expression on a prisoner’s face on the way out of jail? The look married people have after the final decree is signed? Or is it a blue four-ply square with pleats that comes with loops that fit behind your ears? Since I’ve never been to jail overnight, just […]

DOING ‘MY RESEARCH’ FOR EXTRA CREDIT

October 3, 2021 by

Hearing about people doing ‘my research’ gives me hope. Before making a big decision it’s best to know all you can about the possible outcomes, the likely effects, and how you would benefit. The problems start when the notion of doing anything extra, from reading, asking questions, to testing new knowledge, comes from people who […]

GOOD INTENTIONS START TOMORROW

September 30, 2021 by

Why do good intentions pave the way to hell? Because of the follow up. More precise, it’s the lack of follow up. Say the right thing, then do the right thing and you stay out of hell. Does this sound right? Sounds like accountability to me. So why the gap between what is said and […]

MEATHEAD MIRANDA RIGHTS FOR MORE CLARITY

September 28, 2021 by

Know your rights, your Meathead Miranda rights, before offering an opinion. It may save you problems in the long run. “But I’m not a meathead,” you say? That’s good to know, but like so many things, we’re always the last to know. This might help more than you’d expect: Meathead Miranda rights:

CANCER RESEARCH THROUGH BETTER BEER

July 2, 2018 by

    “I’m buying you a beer,” G said.   “That’s awfully nice, but you don’t have to,” I said.   “It’s that one,” he said.   “Which one?” I asked.   “At the bottom of the Daily Specials.”   I looked at the beer menu and didn’t see it.   “Where are the specials?” […]

MUSEUM ARTIFACTS DON’T BELONG IN TOILETS

February 22, 2016 by

If you have something worthy of a museum artifacts collection, keep it safe. A museum joke that bears repeating: This is George Washington’s hatchet he used to chop down the cherry tree. The handle’s been replaced six time, the head four, but it represents the same space. Funny stuff. I think it came from Saturday […]

BABY BOOMER BLOGGER RAG

January 13, 2016 by

When you’re a baby boomer blogger, you rag, that’s what you do. But are you good at it? If you’re a baby boomer blogger and you’re not good at ragging it out, find a way. You don’t want to be left behind, the one who didn’t rag enough. Like Robert Kennedy said, “If not you, […]
