This past year has been an educational one to say the least. I believe that the pandemic is here to stay and while it may be diluted in the future, the influence of the pandemic will be cemented in my mind and influence my life forever as I am sure many of you. We can... Continue Reading →
Culpability
Culpability is a great word. Taking responsibility for wrongdoing or failure is growth. To me it means that you are human. "I take full responsibility, it's not my fault" It's challenging to have relationships with an absence of culpability. I struggle with it in my relationships. I think it is because I strive to be...

Coming To Terms With Growing Old
Growing older is inevitable. Physically we cannot avoid it and eventually our mental will catch up too. For the most part, growing older is awesome!

2020 Year In Review
"What a year to be alive," said no one who died from COVID, lost their job or suffered from the numerous setbacks that 2020 brought us. Losing Kobe, COVID, Murder Hornets, Donald Trump administration, riots, etc. I imagine that many movies will spawn from our year on a variety of topics, and I can't wait... Continue Reading →
Trump Twitter Ban Is Not ‘Problematic’
Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel called the Trump Twitter ban "Problematic." I vehemently disagree with Mrs. Merkel, and anyone else claiming that Trumps ban from Twitter is problematic/violation of the First Amendment, blah, blah, blah.

Apple Watch 6 Series VS Fitbit Sense
The Fitbit Sense battery will last up to 6 days. The Apple Watch 6 Series battery will last up to 18 hours. Case. Closed. A fitness watch with a battery that lasts a maximum of 18 hours is almost an oxymoron. I suppose Apple's argument is that a person needs to sleep, so they can... Continue Reading →

Confession time, I judge homeless people. Seeing a panhandler on the side of the freeway, my first instinct is to look at their shoes. I try to find a chink in their homeless armor so I can feel better about judging them. Judging people is so easy to do and it almost seems like an... Continue Reading →
Getting Older is AWESOME!
Don't believe all of the curmudgeons out there that constantly complain about getting older. Sure the body does not work as it used to but you know what, neither does your brain, and I mean that in a positive way. You can see an example of this when looking at older athletes. They no longer... Continue Reading →

Anytime we are faced with a horrible situation in life, we have to challenge ourselves to find the good in it. You have to find the positive and focus on that nugget, otherwise you will get drug down into the basement of negativity. So why has Donald Trump been good for the USA and the... Continue Reading →
Don’t Take Things So Personally
Easier said than done right? If someone says something hurtful to you, a "normal" reaction would be to lash out defending yourself. It is something that I struggle with every day in one form or another. However, when you do respond back in kind, you are basically taking on that persons feelings into your own... Continue Reading →
