Last week we were once again gifted with another harangue from Vice President Joe Biden. (Let’s face it – he doesn’t seem to know he’s occupying the White House half the time. V.P. was probably the last elected position he entered while coherent. Makes you wonder who’s really running things…) He spoke yet again about … Continue reading
Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of 9-11. Thousands died. I remember how devastated we were as a nation when it happened – it was a bloody nose that told us that we had enemies out there who wanted us dead, and we could no longer ignore the danger. Our streets and skies went silent for … Continue reading
Multi-tasking is not a realistic way of functioning. Some people think they have a talent for it, but it’s just that they’re better at switching between tasks than other people. But no matter how skilled you think you are, we all lose time in the transition – it is not the most efficient way to … Continue reading
Happy Independence Day!!! I’m going to take the opportunity to go slightly political about narratives versus news. If you’re offended – well, it’s a free country. At least that’s what I remember from social studies, but then, I’m an old guy. In our foundational documents, a high importance was put on freedom of speech, freedom … Continue reading

But if the Times is saying it, they will have to come around to acknowledging the … Continue reading

We’re all human – but I’m not so sure about them… that’s more like the way NORMAL people think (although … Continue reading
Technology has brought us many gifts, one of biggest ones has been the internet. Whether you’re trying to find, buy or sell product, or learn something new, seeking information, news, or like-minded people, it’s all out there. You can talk with anyone in the world at any given moment (barring, of course, those who have … Continue reading
You cannot force UNITY of thought, especially when facts are not only ignored, but forbidden. Continue reading
When I was in my teens, I wondered about how I could know that the news I was seeing was true. After all, the Soviets (that’s what Russia used to be, “back in the USSR, boys…”) had their own news that they claimed was true, how did I know what REALITY was? One of my … Continue reading
My superpower is luck – more properly SERENDIPITY. Even when bad things happen to me, the silver lining becomes apparent. I like to tell myself that I usually land on my feet in a better position – it’s not always that way, but when do you see a cat act like that fall he just … Continue reading
