As I look out at my life it appears that I am still learning even in the latter stages of life. “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Or can you? I think you can but the more important questions is…”will these new tricks that I haven’t seen be of any value?” The answer …

Desires meet time.
I desire so much to so many things. Work, projects, travel, spend time with family and do this pet of mine here. It is absolutely astounding to me how much I have to do all of my own doing. Next thing you know it is weeks if not months later and even though I’ve gotten …
Stupid.
Are we decidedly so? Who is ‘we’? Am I a part of we? How do I know I’m not the stupid one and that is the reason everything in my life makes perfect sense? Perhaps me being stupid is my saving grace. I can’t know what I don’t know and therefore this ignorance is the …
Alarmism?
As a question I’m hoping to provoke your interest in questioning each and every ‘alarm” present in your life. Why? Good question and a good start to questioning! I recently watch a video on the climate alarm. Whether or not you believe in such a problem is not relative to that which I am asking …
Fight Club
Another day in American life mostly isolated from the rest of the world. We are largely unaware of the goings on elsewhere.

Leadership
I saw a post yesterday where a number the people’s representatives were making a statement by wearing black to an interview in order to show their disapproval that the body did not pass legislation affirming that men could use a women’s restroom. Interestingly, in the group of approximately 25 people, I counted at least 14 …
Simple Division
Over the course of my life I have discovered that math is the most useful of all human manifestations. Others might stipulate that language would be the victor in that argument, I concede, the inability to communicate would definitely bring it all down around our feet. Consider this for a moment, I consider myself well …
Stop feeding your pet avarice.
“Pet?”, you say. “Mine?” Well, yes. Doesn’t everyone want a big pile of money? Doesn’t everyone want to win the lottery and spend, spend, spend? To the extent this is true I am proposing you have a pet, a dear one you feed and cuddle in day dreamy slumber imagining the future when it will …
Pearls to pigs?
Pearls? We have pearls of wisdom, pearls of joy, pearls of yesterday and of course pearls of the crown. Which one it matters not; all connote a certain essence of value. Something worthy of consideration, thought or even just endearment. We all recognize that certain things have a universal value and all agree that these …
