Original ideas are a dime a dozen. Here is my formula for faking new perspectives: I think of something: for example (cars) and ask my mom and dad: (wikipedia and google) about it. They tell me lots of stuff no one should ever have to know about something – let’s say automobiles. I look for [...]

Dude was going to back right over my wife and I. Only anticipatory evasive action avoided a nasty collision between ourselves and the reversing auto but what intrigued me was the perfectly coordinated occurrence of the situation. There Definitely Is a Right Time & Place But Where Is It & When? Normally, this would be [...]

Howdy friends. The stuff I describe below got me into a lot of trouble. It even got my boss into trouble. His boss’s boss phoned me to stop what I was doing from spreading to other area properties under their management.  It worked – I only lasted 4 months with this company. I wrote these [...]

Perhaps its the birds of a feather thing that is getting on me because JT certainly does have some winners hanging with him. Not much wonder that John Thornhill and Jim Cochrum are friends and I’m honored to be emulating their fantabulous [...]
