TIME TELLS ON ALL OF US

November 10, 2022 by

Time tells, so why not make it good story? “Go to sleep for twenty years and wake up and tell everyone how great you could have been.” That’s a line from The Tender Bar. It’s a good line, maybe the best in the movie.

VANITY PROJECT, OR INSANITY GOALS

November 10, 2022 by

“Vanity project.” That was my answer to the question of, “Why do you write online?” Some answers included, ‘to be remembered, to share, to enlighten.’ It’s all vanity project with different goals.

June 27, 2022 by

Spending time together in the right places make the best memories. The guys in the image are two brothers I follow on twitter. One is a sports talk guy, the other is a regular guest. They go beyond sports with their life lesson takes including recipes, medical advice, and their brand of man-knowledge. The tweet […]

RIGHT TIME? YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU MISS IT

April 27, 2022 by

“The right time is when the time is right.” It’s that simple. And it goes by in a blink. After that the timing is all wrong. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a better feel for the clock?

TIME CHECK: IT’S NOT ON OUR SIDE?

February 22, 2022 by

Every time you look at a clock it’s a time check. It’s time to do this, time to do that, time for dinner, time for bed, time to repeat it all another day. And that, dear readers, is the story of life. But, what about all the stuff that happens in between the time check? […]

PROCESS MATTERS WHEN YOU WANT TO GET SOMEPLACE

January 31, 2021 by

Process matters if you’re going places, or want to go. It matters even when you don’t plan on going anywhere, because plans or not, you’re heading places. The pull of time drags us all along, kicking and screaming, fearful and spooked, and never loosens up. Don’t want to go? Too bad, you’re still going. Process […]

WORDS: FREEDOM’S JUST ANOTHER WORD? NO, NO IT’S NOT

January 15, 2021 by

Words change with age. For a few years I lived next to a quirky neighbor. Sound familiar? Most folks have either had one, or been one. I was already there when he moved in, a ripped muscle-man with a crewcut. ‘Great,’ I thought, I’ve got either a policeman neighbor, or a gym kook. Either way […]

TIME MOVES ON WITH A DEGREE OF SADNESS

August 30, 2019 by

Time moves on when you see is a collection of kid bikes, the same collection Toys R Us sold. The same bikes the rich kids rode, the hand-me-down bikes, and the bikes kids rode into teen hood. Lots of bikes going one place: The scrap yard.

ENOUGH LEADERSHIP? WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?

January 10, 2019 by

    Talk to any reliable construction contractor about when enough is enough and they say two things: It’s enough when you run out of money to do more. And it’s enough when you run out of time and need to wrap things up. Ask any self respecting parent how they decide when enough is […]
