‘Relationship awareness’ sounds like a warning? Like a highway sign that says, “BUMPS?” If it doesn’t sound like a warning, maybe you’re not paying attention. Now is a good time to start, but start the right way.
OBSERVATIONAL RESEARCH: HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING IN TEXAS
September 4, 2021 by
From the sound of the words alone, ‘observational research’ sounds sketchy. ‘Observational’ asks who is doing the observing. If it’s Bob Tom in Texas observing the landscape, a landscape of livestock, who decides his cows are ‘host bodies’ for more cows to increase his herd, he’s being a good rancher. But if it’s Bob Tom […]
FALLING WOMEN, AND HOW TO HELP THEM UP
May 22, 2021 by
Falling women need a good landing. If you’re around when it happens, what’s the best move? Since a fall is usually accidental, the landing part comes from basic instinct, not planning. I’ve been that landing a few times, some better than others. You?
BURIED STORIES, EXPRESSIONS OF HOPE

September 15, 2020 by
A big reveal from the forest fires in Oregon is understanding the front yard. With a little help, all of the beauty of shrubbery would burn.

MINDHUNTER + TALKING TO STRANGERS = YIKES
March 17, 2020 by
I started watching Mindhunter halfway through reading Malcolm Gladwell’s recent book, Talking To Strangers. It’s a strange combination ranging from creepy to creepier. Mindhunter tells about the FBI effort to understand what motivates serial killers. If that’s not creepy enough, the killers they interview had attacked women.

January 23, 2019 by
Is this the man all French women under fifty yearn for? I won’t post his name, but a Frenchman decided the world, at least his world, needed to know how he felt about getting older.

June 4, 2018 by
An unmarried man can have a great idea, work through problems, and it will either fail of succeed in some measure. Work hard enough and things get changed. A married man knows this will never happen. Instead of a great idea to dive into to, the idea becomes a conversation. If […]
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER UNTIL YOU SHOW YOUR AGE
January 23, 2017 by
Your age is no secret, except to you. People who say age is just a number do it for a reason: they are old, not your youthful age. They make it worse when they say hair dye doesn’t change how others see them, but how they see themselves. Old guy selfie problem? If […]
