The good times ahead aren’t for everybody. They may not be for the people who voted for the good timing man. Getting on toward seventy this year, I expect to hear all about it. What’s it going to sound like going forward? You’ve heard it before:
WEIGHT LIFTING FOR MENTAL HEALTH
October 25, 2024 by
Weight lifting is for everyone, more or less, weight-wise. Lifting is something you do every day whether you log it as such, or not. I’m a fan of trying to tell the difference between lifters and non-lifters.
GOOD TWITTER, BAD X?
October 22, 2024 by

Enthusiastic energy comes from a special place. Sports fans show it at every game, match, or contest. Literary fans show it at readings and awards. The difference?
GOOD PITCH, BAD DELIVERY, LESSON LEARNED?
November 21, 2023 by
When you hear a good pitch from someone you’re considering hiring, it matters. You’ll hire a hype man instead of the quiet craftsman with a good record. How does that usually work out? This is a picture of a call for a plumbing bid?
