Bold
I always vote. I like having my say. Once in a while, I hear someone lament, “my vote doesn’t matter, it’s only one vote.” It’s a cynical view for sure. Voting is not about everyone else. It’s about each person. Voting is a personal statement of worth. I think enough of myself to exercise my… Continue reading

Sage Grandma
My grandmother always told me that I could catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. She was telling me to be nice; I would get farther. I always wondered why anybody would want to catch flies. I realized she got the quote wrong, a little bit. The saying goes, you can catch more bees… Continue reading

Classical Answer
Christmas has always been my best holiday. Everybody is in a good mood; Christmas lights are pretty; I decorate the tree with my daughter; I like to buy presents for people; I eat treats without guilt. Thanksgiving used to be a front runner, memories of watching my uncle carve the turkey, flaming plum pudding and… Continue reading

Avoid Bears
I did a lot of camping when I was younger. My favorite part was waking up to the over powering sound of bird song. It reminded me there was a entirely different natural world before the human world woke up. Once when I didn’t have a tent, I slept in my jeep. I was in… Continue reading

Any Time
After my morning coffee, until about 3 pm, I get the most done. Artistically, I can be productive anytime. I go in phases. When I’m working a big project, like a book, that takes most of my energy. But when I’m idle, I get bursts of inspiration. Sometimes I wake in the night and so… Continue reading

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

Ideas
I grew up in the Golden Age of television. Every generation says they grew up in the good old days, but I remember early television programming packed with ideas and serious introspection. Maybe my memory is selective. I am a big fan of Rod Serling’s writing. I still choke up when I think about “In… 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

Not The News
I grew up in the Golden Age of Television so I am a TV junky. A good show gets mind off things and distracts me from my own thoughts. But I don’t watch the news. It’s depressing and every outlet is upset about something. It’s ironic, as much as Cable News has different views, they… Continue reading

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
