  • Undecided

    Each season has appeal and none of them stands out as the best. I am glad I live in a place with changing seasons. I don’t know what I would do with the land of perpetual sunshine. I like Spring because everything turns green, flowers and birdsong. I like the Summer because I can fish… Continue reading

  • 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

  • Cats In Hats

    I was always bedazzled by the Cat in the Hat, by Dr. Seuss. I loved the idea of a cat in the Cat’s hat, and another cat in that second cat’s hat, and so on. The idea of recursion opened my mind to seeing things from different points of view. It gave life to my… Continue reading

  • Cheating

    I’m going to cheat and list four books, so I can get the Bible in, but still list three other titles. As a religious person I feel obligated to list the Bible as one of the influential books. The new testament message of compassion, tolerance and hope definitely guided my thinking, with the help of… 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

  • Fishing

    My father taught me to fly fish. It was the primary time we got along like father and son. My son and I have many things together, and fishing is one among them. He is more of a spin caster. We fish together for the comradery and the peace the rises while we tend to… Continue reading

  • Overload

    I still struggle with easing back, but I’m improving. When I was a kid I would take on too many responsibilities and silently get worked up until I could take no more. Then I would have a mini melt down and everybody around me got worried. It didn’t matter that I felt better after exploding.… Continue reading
