Reflections on the lighter side

Silly Question
By definition, luxuries are things I can live without. “Living without” means I do not require those things to survive. I don’t need luxuries. Money is not a luxury. A ton of money is. Television is a luxury, and I would be happy if someone took my TV away. Once I was a skier. I… Continue reading

Attitude
My journey has been a process of lightening up, building my self-esteem and developing the confidence to take risks to achieve my goals. The result has been a good life. In my blog I have mentioned that humor is my super power. My writing is strongest, most concise, most focused and firmly directed when I… Continue reading

Too Late
The only name worth having is my true name. If my given name is not my true name, then I would change it. I have been with Robert so long, it seems the right fit. It feels like my true name, but it’s probably too late to think otherwise. If I went on a vision… Continue reading

Calories
I have not had a chocolate bar better than the Hershey’s milk chocolate bar (free plug…) The chocolate flavor is smooth, not too bitter. It’s sweet but not overpowering. It has to be the thin bar. The thick bars are too much punch at once. It would be a dream bar if eating it gave… Continue reading

Public Speaking
Like many, I had a fear of public speaking, more accurately speaking for any audience greater than one. I didn’t start out that way. When I was very little I was a ham in class. Through sixth grade I was always eager to do class assignments that involved making a presentation in class. I did… Continue reading

My Head Hurts
My life has improved since I developed the practice of keeping the television off for part of the day. I used to use it as background noise to fill out the house when I was home alone. The constant drone of worrisome and bad news, along with commentators and broadcasters getting crazed over speculating about… Continue reading

Hermit on the Move
Since I published my first book, I have been promoting it among my family, friends and social contacts. It is an uncomfortable process. I am a natural hermit. Like many sons who follow their father’s model (for good or bad), my father was a hermit. When he passed away, his contact with people was less… Continue reading

Aches and Pains
I grew up loving the cold weather. My family had a retail sports shop and were big skiers. Some of my best memories are going on winter trips with my aunt and uncle. When my kids were old enough, we had loads of fun in the snow. I would make huge snow slides or forts.… Continue reading

Blur
When my kids were young, I was a stay-at-home Dad. My work space was home. Now that they’re grown up, I still work at home. When I worked in an office, the distinctions were still blurry, except when I was at the office, I only worked … like a dog. When I was at home,… Continue reading

Birthday Suit
This question struck me funny. I’m wearing nothing that is as old as me. My clothes are almost new to a few years old at best. That happens when my belly outgrows my pants or my wife makes me throw out my comfy shirts with the armpit holes. I have a bad habit of not… Continue reading
