You could say it came to me in a dream. Because I woke up with this brilliant thought in my head. And before I could turn over and go back to sleep it formed into a brilliant strategy. And then I couldn’t go back to sleep and take even the slightest chance of forgetting it. Plus, this tiny voice kept whispering in my ear, … Read the rest...

Anyone who didn’t see this coming hasn’t been paying attention over the last several decades. And you know what I’m talkin’ about. Yeah, the price increases on sparkling water at 7 Eleven. How much does it cost to put some bubbles in the water? Are you kidding me?! OK, seriously. Of course I’m talking about the mixed up results of the American presidential election. … Read the rest...

Once upon a time, many years ago, a little boy, named Adolph, dreamed of one day becoming a great leader. And then, one day, he actually DID become a leader. But instead of leading his people with truth and love, he chose lies and deceit. In fact, he told some of the biggest lies the world has ever known. And, sadly, his people believed … Read the rest...

OK, you might as well know up front. I’m gonna preach a little bit here. But I’m gonna go easy on you (sort of) and connect it to music. And the subject for the day is about your new man characteristics. So, ladies…don’t read any more of this. Or even try to sneak a peak over your man’s shoulder. This ain’t for you. Because, … Read the rest...

It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Typically I don’t watch events such as the confirmation of a so-called “supreme court justice nominee.” And I haven’t actually watched the sequence of events in Amy Barrett’s hearings either. Because we don’t have a TV in our house. And I don’t wanna stream it. Because it’s just weird to watch a bunch of so-called … Read the rest...

Duct tape. Concrete patch kit. Bandaid. What do those three things have in common? Each one is a temporary fix. And they’re awesome for doing what they were designed to do. But when you use them, you know (at least you understand somewhere way back in the corner of your mind) that you’re gonna have to deal with the real problem sooner or later. … Read the rest...

Steve Jobs certainly had an interesting life. And a productive one. I don’t think you could find many who would disagree with that. After all, he had quite an impact on how we use technology now. In fact, I know a lot of my readers and listeners might be reading or listening to this on a device Steve helped create.   And on October … Read the rest...

It was only 22 inches around. And it only weighed 184 pounds. But it might as well have been a lead weight the size of Pluto. Because the news and reports of it fell on America like a lead weight. And it had the cutest, little name. Sputnik.   On this day, October 4, back in 1957, Russian launched Sputnik into space. It zoomed … Read the rest...

Denmark, by most standards these days, is a left-leaning country and government. At least if news articles I’ve read can be trusted. So, it might come as a surprise to you how this little Nordic country stood up for the Jews, during World War II, better than almost any other country.   Why would a Nordic country protect Jews? Well, to start with, for … Read the rest...

Well, it’s October 2, 2020. And I can hardly believe it’s already been a day since I wrote about how it’s hard to believe it’s already October. Uh-oh, I’m spinning in circles of numbers. Somebody stop me before I fall off this merry-go-round.   But seriously (rimshot) October 2 is pretty darn significant. At least if you’re proud to be an American (cue the … Read the rest...
