VANITY PROJECT, OR INSANITY GOALS

“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.

SPENDING TIME LIKE YOU’LL NEVER GET OLD?

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

“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?

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

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.

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

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

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?

    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 […]

BOOMER GENERATION BREAKS AMERICA ON TIME COVER BUT NOT IN OUR HEARTS

    At some point every generation can take credit for breaking America. The pinata of democracy is strong enough to take a few whacks.   It helps that those swinging the stick are usually too old to do much damage, but watching them still hurts.   Steven Brill explains it all for baby boomers, […]
