I used to wear out a can of tennis balls pretty fast. And on a regular basis, too. I loved the game so much that, if I couldn’t find someone to play, I’d practice against a brick wall of an elementary school in a small town in Kansas. I had the latest tennis balls, shoes, rackets, and other gear. And I found a game … The rest of the story…
There’s a candy bar named after it. The center of the candy bar is made up of something called nougat (like newgut…not nugget). But this isn’t about the candy bar. I’m talkin’ about what it’s named after. And, of course, that’s the Milky Way Galaxy. Both the candy bar and the galaxy have a “chocolate” coating. Well, sort of. The candy bar is coated … The rest of the story…
It’s fascinating how little snippets of memories can flash into the front of your mind. Sometimes the flash comes out of nowhere. And sometimes it’s because you simply stopped and thought about it. And I recommend an occasional pause to ponder the past. Don’t live in it. And certainly don’t rehash the bad stuff. But remember. Consider. Be thankful. When you ponder the past, … The rest of the story…
Infinitely creative. That’s the way you might imagine somebody who could conjure up designs for the universe and everything in it. And if you found out that the same person could get it all built in only six days, you might start to think, “This is no ordinary person.” And that would be the understatement of all time. Because there’s one who can be … The rest of the story…
You’ve heard this expression: The only thing that stays the same is change. Right? Well, it’s the only thing because there are two things that stay the same. Continuity and change. Wait! How can that be? Two things stay the same because there’s only one thing that changes? Ow…my head hurts. And I didn’t even have champagne last night. Continuity and change are two … The rest of the story…
I read a headline, somewhere online today, that said Wikipedia has become another leftist so-called “source of information.” What?! I’m totally aghast. And in mind-blown shock. Not. And then, as fate, destiny, and kismet would have it, I saw a Wikipedia article on the old saying, “Might makes right.” And what a lot of hooey. So, allow me to shed some salt and light … The rest of the story…
OK. I’m gonna give you the keys to self-empowerment today. And they’re found in these four words. Forgive everyone for everything. Do that, and you’ll be a god. But… Forgive everyone for everything and you won’t be like God. Because, just in case you’ve read the Bible and somehow believe God forgives everyone, here’s news hot off the analog and digital presses. God does … The rest of the story…
Liberty and justice for all. Remember those words? Yeah, they seem vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, I remember now. Aren’t they the last words in the American Pledge of Allegiance. But who is this “ALL” they’re talking about? Liberty and justice for all means everybody. Not just the people who can speak the pledge. But even people who can’t speak. Or hear. Or see. … The rest of the story…
I’ve seen it described as “a geometric drawing device that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids.” And since that sounds too simple for most people, maybe you’d prefer the description in their commercials from back in the 60’s. “Make a million multicolor designs so beautiful your eyes won’t believe what your hands have done.” What is it? … The rest of the story…
They might not be household names you’ve ever heard. But if you’ve lived more than a couple of decades, you’ve probably heard them. And is it just me, or do those old Motown songs still make you wanna dance, too? Yeah, just play the first few bars of “I’ll Be There” and watch out. Feet don’t fail me now. And that’s just one of … The rest of the story…
