I remember seeing, as I drove from Texas to Kansas, a road sign for the turn-off to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. It was a long time ago, after my junior year in high school. But that’s an unusual name. A Cherokee name. And you might wonder what significance a town of about 17,000 people could have. Yeah, you might shrug it off as just another wide … The rest of the story…
Wow. It seems like this happens every year. It’s a Friday after Thanksgiving. And according to a lot of businesses and retailers, this day started days ago. Now, I’m not a professional time traveler, so correct me if I’m wrong. But I don’t see how today could have started days ago. Am I missing something? Because it seems, to me, like… A black Friday … The rest of the story…
Scurvy, dead fish, and malnutrition. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh yeah, freezing cold death. Pass the turkey. Hope you’re hungry. ‘Cause it’s Thanksgiving Day, here in America. So, it’s time to EAT. And as you do, let’s remember those people who started the tradition way back in the 1600’s. And, pilgrim, you better believe their celebration was a little less easy peasy than yours. Hey, I … The rest of the story…
I recently read a funny pun/meme that ties in nicely with what I’ve been sharing lately. The pun/meme said, “Elton John bought a treadmill for his pet rabbit. Yeah, it’s a little, fit bunny.” In case you’re not quite up to speed on Elton John songs, that’s a play on the lyrics to “Your Song” when he sang, “It’s a little bit funny, this … The rest of the story…
Maybe you already know that Kenny Loggins has a brother named Danny. And if you do, then you probably already know that Kenny wrote “Danny’s Song” for his brother as a gift for the birth of his brother’s son. And if you know all that, you’re probably familiar with the line, “In the morning, when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to … The rest of the story…
It would be a bit of a stretch to say I can see very well. At least, without my glasses, it would be a stretch. And even though I’m more vision-challenged now than when I was younger, my eyesight was never 20/20. But thankfully I can see very well with my cool, round glasses. Now, I shared all that to lead into another snippet … The rest of the story…
I hope you don’t wake up next Saturday morning with the Black Friday Blues (cue…or queue the music). Because it’s so avoidable if you follow a couple of simple guidelines. And remember, the first step is to admit you have a problem. Yeah, the first verse, to the Black Friday Blues, is about YOU. OK, I admit I’m a guy. Worse yet, a white … The rest of the story…
Way, way back in time, Elgielene put some kinetic energy on my wrist. And that’s my poet brain way of saying she bought me a Seiko Kinetic watch. If you’ve never seen one or had one, check ’em out. They’re pretty cool. And getting a little more rare these days. I’ve had mine for 26 years now. Seiko found a way to store kinetic … The rest of the story…
The famous northern lights show up at high latitudes around the world. It’s especially to see them near the Arctic Circle, in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Norway. But they can also be seen as far south as northern Idaho. One popular theory about the northern lights is full of hot air. Well, soar wind to be a little more clear. Apparently there are disturbances on … The rest of the story…
I’m suffering from depression. Right now. Exactly at the moment I’m typing these words. If you’ve followed my posts or podcast episodes, you might think I’d never be one of those people who deals with depression disorders. But here it is. And I gotta say, it hasn’t helped one bit to open up about this. There are a lot of depression disorders out there. … The rest of the story…
