Sam Walking In The World

Thoughts on a nondescript American hero, the nature of changing gears in life, celebrity endorsements of charities and the sky not falling over small worries..

Thoughts on the necessary but counter-productive nature of bureacracy, the illusion of case-by-case voting, keeping secrets and getting injured while asleep.

Thoughts on the benefits of boundaries, the potential over-complication of outlines and stories that spin wildly off course.

Thoughts on the dangers of socialism, the recognition of one's aging, and the uncanny olfactory prowess of middle schoolers.

Thoughts on coping with uncertainty, keeping historical facts in context, the origin of some commonly used expressions, and much more...

Thoughts on the indispensable need for freedom of speech, the importance of being "down-to-earth," and the common phenomenon of anthropomorphism.

Thoughts on the schizophrenic nature of commitments, the mystery of selfishness and unselfishness, and the importance of reaching to the end of your grasp.

Thoughts on the misconception of so called "failing schools," the powers of patience, and why it's a good idea to accept garden grown vegetables whenever offered.

Thoughts on how difficult it is to coach a team, how beneficial it is to play on a team, and my very best hockey memory.

Thoughts on how systems impact our everyday lives in good ways and bad, how being wrong isn't wrong, and how people confuse bigs words with good words.
