Let me say this about that. You know, I kinda like being an old fart. The level of expectation for people of my seniority is so low, that we can say or do just about anything and get away with it. Cops don’t hassle me anymore – ‘why bother, the old guy will be dead […]
Let me say this about that. I’ve always wanted to be one of the ‘cool guys’. But alas, I’m an engineer, and cool guys just don’t become engineers. Look up ‘cool’ in Webster’s dictionary, and you’ll see a picture of an engineer ……. leaving the room. Not being one of the cool guys gives me […]
Let me say this about that. Question: “What do the following countries have in common?” Canada, USA, Mexico, Bermuda, Bahamas, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Grand Cayman, British Virgin Islands, St Martin, Barbados, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Ireland, Scotland, England, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, […]
Let me say this about that. I like dogs. They are pure souls that personify the old adage “What you see is what you get.” There is no lying, no dishonesty, no self promotion, no deception, and no tattoos. In other words, the human race has much to learn from dogs. I have made an […]
Let me say this about that. Why in the hell would you ever marry someone you don’t trust? I have no clue, but seems a lot of folks DO consciously choose to spend the rest of their lives with a mate they wouldn’t leave alone in the same room with Mother Teresa. Sometimes the lack […]
Let me say this about that. It has been said that “Life is hard, and then you die.” It’s true that our time on this planet has it’s challenges and sometimes can be downright disheartening. But every now and again, we see something sooooo funny that we nearly wet our pants – and the world turns […]
Let me say this about that. My wife has been trying to kill me for years. Her method is insidious in that her attempts are cleverly disguised as gifts. For my birthday, she doesn’t give me traditional gifts. She gives me, what she calls, “experiences.” I call them “near death experiences”. These “experiences” include such […]
Let me say this about that. In 1973, Paul Simon recorded the song “Kodachrome” that contained the lyric, ‘When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.’ Amen, Brother Simon. The older I get, the truer this becomes. And it’s not just the […]
Let me say this about that. The course of our lives often rests on the seemingly minute decisions we make every day. Change any one of these decisions, and our lives could turn out radically different. Or would we simply be the same person in a different environment? Take for example: Barack Obama, Bank Loan […]
Let me say this about that. If you have never worked outside the U.S., let me tell you that the most difficult part is not the strange food, the odd customs, the living conditions, or lax security. It’s communication. Even when your local contacts speak English, that doesn’t necessarily mean that there is real “communication” […]
