Choice; It’s a Real Mixed Bag.

Look at your feet. Make a quick mental note of where you are at this minute. Where you are, didn’t happen by accident, your choices led you there. We make left and right turns all day long, we go, stop whatever. Yet somehow, you made it to your present spot. It is a miracle that […]

The Man who would be King

He did it again; such incredible hubris! I’m watching the evening news; the arrogance! How did we get here? I’ve never seen this before…but wait, I have; I’ve read about this in history books. I voted for him; we needed “a change”. I hear those words echoing, aching painfully throughout our world’s history; Out with […]

Why do Men Still Open the Car Door for Women?

In today’s modern age, where epic battles for gender equality are raging, we should be surprised to see a man open the door of a car for a woman. This “gentlemen’s” habit seems to have endured and continues to be quite popular, but why? Why do men still do it and why do even the […]

Is the price of an opinion too high?

When someone offers an opinion, they are essentially “putting in their two-cents”. If someone wants to know what you think, they might say “a penny for your thoughts”. These idiomatic expressions both suggest that the value of an opinion isn’t worth much monetarily.  I believe that the value is even less if that opinion is […]

So I had this idea…

I woke up this morning feeling ambitious.  I had an idea about a new business. I grabbed my glasses, sweats, a shirt, my bunny slippers and headed downstairs. I settled in and quickly realized that my glasses were so dirty that I really couldn’t see. Oily skin, the bane of all glasses wearers. I better […]
