Let me say this about that. I must admit that I am not a particularly religious guy. To me, organized religion seems to be all about forcing narrow, single-minded dogma down our throats. Organized religion always takes the position that their particular credo is correct, and all other beliefs are corrupt. But one thing they all have in common […]
Let me say this about that. Like most retired guys, I am fairly handy around the house when it comes to minor maintenance and repair. A stuck door here, a leaky faucet there, and we can hold our own. That is unless you have one of those creatures living in your house like I do. I forget the […]
Let me say this about that. Ya know, sometimes the world can be a very dark place. Wars, recessions, terrorism, debt, reality shows - sometimes leave us wondering how we can simply make it through the day. Ever wonder why so few old people have a fear of death? It’s because they believe “….. well […]
Let me say this about that. I was raised in a rural environment and have enjoyed the out-of-doors all my life. But it hasn’t always been without it’s problems. For some reason, I seem to bring out the worst in Mother Nature, especially when it comes to wildlife. At the last accounting, I had […]
Let me say this about that. Quickly now! Tell me three things you know about The Netherlands. Can’t think of three? OK, how about one thing? Fact is, most Americans don’t know a helluva lot about The Netherlands. If you use the term ‘Holland’, we tend to revert back to our grammar school days to […]
Let me say this about that. I was in Key West recently because I had been called for jury duty in Federal Court. Engineers usually are not popular choices as potential jurors because we have a tendency to employ a tool unknown in the legal profession – ‘Logic’. Logic is like ‘Kryptonite’ to a lawyer. Their view […]
Let me say this about that. Like most guys, I believe real “spousal communication” is an oxymoron. No matter how hard a guy tries, he is never really successful in achieving true communication with his wife. Why you ask? Because of the “wife-filter”. Whenever a guy says something to his wife, it goes into her ears and […]
Let me say this about that. Well, the ‘ol Tiger sure has had his troubles of late. Seems he has been ‘putting-the-wood’ to more than his drives off the tee. Even without much of a putting game, he does not appear to be having any problem finding the hole. In his latest ‘foursome’ he was the […]
Let me say this about that. For all you guys out there looking forward to retirement, let me warn you that it’s nothing – NOTHING – like what you expect. Remember the humongous change in your lifestyle when you went from ‘single man’ to ‘married man’? Well, that’s nothing compared to the lifestyle change you are […]
Let me say this about that. There are a number of things in this life that I find unpleasant. Going to the dentist for a root canal is certainly one. Standing in line at the driver’s license bureau also ranks in the top five. Being forced to hold some slobbering newborn is certainly not my cup […]
