Outside of time
I suppose you noticed that Christmas is coming. We know it, too, and unless we want people to say, “The Grinch must live there,” we need to start decorating for Christmas. But our calendars are full of other activities. There was Thanksgiving, there are meetings, there are events, there was
Show me the way
Being a golfer, I’m interested in almost everything that has to do with the game. From the history, to the players, to the events, to the courses — it all fascinates me. Beyond the challenge of playing it well, golf has an amazing cast of characters. Sometimes those characters have
A Bad Choice That Was Thought To Be Good
Last week I wrote about “men without chests,” people of all ages and both sexes who lack an important tool in the decision making process. Why they lack this tool is, at least in part, a mystery to me. As the philosophers would say, I can posit an answer. That’s
Men Without Chests
A gut feeling Have you ever had a gut feeling about something? Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a fictional character on the show NCIS, had “gut feelings” almost every week. And his gut was amazingly accurate. Whether or not your gut is as good as Gibbs’ gut, I’m guessing you’ve
Make America Good Again
I’m a MAGA guy, with one tiny — but very important — modification. Instead of saying Make America Great Again, I’m campaigning to Make America Good Again. I know, I know. You’re thinking, “Why didn’t you get into the presidential race? That “good” thing is something I could get behind
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
