What are you searching for?
Search: it is an extremely big deal in almost every world you can name. Science? Yep, searching for other worlds (SETI Institute, etc.), reasons for black holes, and far more. Medicine? Of course. There are searches for cures for dozens and dozens of illnesses. Big Pharma is with them. Athletics?
More salt, please.
Do you know who tells you to cut back on salt? That’s right, your doctor. And not just your doctor, doctors everywhere of almost any kind. I’m pretty sure they’ve modified the Hippocratic Oath to add a “no salt” clause. Give me a minute to look. OK, I’m back now,
The Future of America
You may not feel the need for an article like this. It could be that you have decided not to vote at all in this election, which is just over two weeks away. Or it could be that you’ve decided how you’ll vote and nothing will change your mind. But
A gentle breeze
Jose, one of my friends and colleagues, is a nominee for Do Good Citizen of the Year. And so are hundreds of other volunteers who have collectively spent thousands of hours over the last week helping hurricane victims in North and South Carolina. In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s terrible
When Israel got it wrong.
I am not a historian by trade or training, but here is something I believe about history. Every country that is on this earth has some horrible things in its past. England, the United States, and several European countries have slavery in their past. (So do many other countries, of
Who do you trust?
I don’t know if there are still daredevils around. I do know there is a Marvel character called Daredevil (“real” name Matt Murdock), and I even know Daredevil: Born Again will air on Disney+ sometime in 2025. What I’m wondering about is people like Evel Knievel and Karl Wallenda and
The advantages of time travel
Back To The Future was one of those delightful movies with a great cast, a solid story, likeable characters, and a bad guy named Biff. The good guy wins, which is what viewers want, but the writers were savvy enough to create an opening for a sequel. That came four
Does where you live live in you?
Many years ago I was the emcee for my high school class’s 20th reunion. It was actually our first reunion, but it came 20 years after our graduation. Overachievers. Anyway, one of the things I said in my little talk was this: “I’m really glad I grew up here, and
Almost — but not quite — good
Do you know the difference between good and not quite good? It’s a lot like the difference between a Rolex watch and a fake Rolex watch. I can explain that one with a true story. For several years, my wife traveled around the world on business. On one of those
Toby Keith, Fuzzy Lines, and Justice
So far on social media, you can’t get canceled for being a country music fan. At least I don’t think the Thought Police have gone that far in America. And that is a good thing, because I am a country music fan. One of my favorites — I know because
What we can all learn from American Ninja Warrior — and even the Olympics
If you aren’t familiar with American Ninja Warrior, it is not a person dressed in black, silent as a snail but faster than a hummingbird. It is a TV show, and it is good. Now if you are a regular reader, you know that when I say “good” I don’t
Them’s fightin’ words!
I learned the phrase that is the title of this post back in the 60’s on TV westerns. But it was already in use in 1917, and maybe earlier. “Fightin’ words,” I learned, were words spoken to someone that provoked them to respond physically. Usually it a was a good
