Reflections on the lighter side

Old School
I know as much about emoji’s as I do social media. I was 43 when they first came out? Although I was a systems manager then, I thought it was cool to use the 🙂 to show I was happy, or thought something was funny, or I was trying to be funny, or somebody made… Continue reading

Geico
Humor in advertising isn’t new, but Geico took it to a new level. It must have been popular and successful, because so many other companies have copied the approach. Most of them fall flat. Most of them are not funny. Why, because so many advertisers are trying too hard to be funny. The actors know… Continue reading

Certainty
When someone is absolutely certain they know the answer, I get nervous. Politicians tell us that they can solve problems, so vote for them. Their over confidence and dismissal of the challenges makes me nervous. When doctors tell me not to worry about my aches and pains, it’s just old age, I get nervous. When… Continue reading

Water Pressure

Blank
Nothing, that’s not good. As soon as I read this prompt, my mind seized. Censors kicked in, making sure the first thing I thought about wasn’t creepy or illegal. Why would I go there? I need therapy … yikes. I literally could not think of anything. My usual problem is that I have too much… Continue reading

Cold Feet
I don’t want to go to the North Pole and find out that Santa is not real. I don’t want to visit an active volcano on the chance the flow would suddenly change and burn me up. I don’t want to go to the moon and find out it is made of cheese, Limburger! I… Continue reading

A Reluctant Ostrich
Most of the time I do not like discussing politics publicly. Too many people have become aggressive with their opinions. Agree or die! Some politicians delight in exploiting the current landscape, which exacerbates the discourse. There are plenty of media choices to get the answers we have preordained for ourselves. The common thread is that… Continue reading

Simple Things
My spouse. My Kids. My Writing. My Art. Coffee! Continue reading

Confession
My morning routine is the epitome of boring. I wake up tired, take my pills, open the drapes, turn on the television, get mad at the news and make coffee. While I wait for it to brew, I play games on my phone. It’s decadent. Continue reading
