- 01/12/09 04:45 PM
Calendars can be a funny thing. They can also turn the world on it's ear.Just a little while back we endured the year of the ultimate, world-wide hype since…well I can't remember one like that. Y2K. The end of civilization as we know it. People sold their homes, moved to the mountains, set up communes. We all bought just a little extra, just in case.I got up early. I missed the very first location to see the magic 2000 roll into view. Such a little island, I thought it didn't have any real significance to the question at hand. Then came … (0 comments)
life perspective: Enrich Your Life with Wider Margins
- 07/13/08 07:05 AM
Remember when you were in grade school learning to write? I know you do. You used those pencils that were about as big around as a broom handle. And you used that paper with the HUGE lines on the page. I remember the margins were about a fourth of the page. The letters we wrote were big ones. Sometimes I could only get one sentence per page. Of course I had to have room to draw my BIG PLANE or the HOUSE ON THE FARM. Those were the good old days. I remember in High School the lines and the margins … (21 comments)
life perspective: Positive IS as Positive DOES-or-How to Keep YOUR Alligator in Perspective
- 06/27/08 01:12 AM
Kasey Edwards has a lot to be thankful for... And he is ! The 18 year old Florida resident was attacked by an alligator this week and lost his left arm. His amazing interviews are all over the internet but if you look too fast, you could miss THE LESSON. Here's a young man who has the great majority of his life yet to live and will be without the use of his 'original' left arm. He will have to get along with a prosthetic device of some kind, will never be able to wrap his 'arms' around the woman he … (7 comments)
Several days after we returned home to San Diego, I cleaned out my shaver. There was Dad's gray whiskers mixed with my own, and I remembered everything that we had talked about during that last week. I tried to think of what else I might have done or said. Happily, I could think of nothing.
Twenty-seven years have come and gone since Dad died. Some days, I miss him more than I can believe. But he's not really gone. Because of his knack for fixing and living, pieces of him are all … (1 comments)
life perspective: DAD'S WORKBENCH - My Most Memorable Person (Part 4)
- 04/27/08 08:53 AM
"Let me show you a little trick." That afternoon, I went alone to the hospital to tell my father that he had cancer. I made my way ever so slowly from the car through the lobby to the elevator and up to his room, all the while rehearsing dozens of ways to tell him. Each one was different, yet each the same -- unacceptable.When I arrived, he wanted to know how everyone else was doing and wanted to be sure that there wasn't any needless worry for him. I couldn't get around to telling him for over an hour, because … (0 comments)
life perspective: DAD'S WORKBENCH - My Most Memorable Person (Part 3)
- 04/27/08 08:53 AM
"Let me show you a little trick." A few hours after gluing it, I went back to the bench to retrieve my car, and dad told me the glue had to dry overnight. I inspected the job for myself. Looking at my car through the rubber bands and clamps, I determined that it was dry enough and ready to use. He gently took the toy from my hand, placed it next to his drying tie rack, and said, "If you take the time to do the job right the first time, you won't have to take the time to do … (0 comments)
There was always a large peg board over the back of the bench with a myriad of hooks and hangers, and Dad was very particular about the placement of the tools on the peg board. He never had to mark where each tool went, because the arrangement was the same in every house. Whenever I would use any of them for a project, I was very careful to return them both cleaned and to their proper location. Most of the time I did well. Sometimes I had better things to do."Dennis," he'd say … (0 comments)
life perspective: DAD'S WORKBENCH - My Most Memorable Person
- 04/27/08 08:53 AM
It's been nearly 28 years since my father passed away -- rather quickly -- and completely unexpectedly. Sometime after he died, I went to my computer and began to write. Several people read what I wrote and suggested I submit it to READERS DIGEST. I did and spent nearly 6 months working with one of their editors to polish this into something that would work in their MY MOST MEMORABLE PERSON series. I didn't make the cut to get into the magazine, but the process of remembering, reflecting, and working to find just the right words and phrases that would tell … (0 comments)

- 02/24/08 02:25 AM
Life was amazing and more fun than allowed by law for me and my wife during the "growing up" years (GUY). But it's been quite some time since I: ✓ attended a soccer game ✓ patched up a skinned knee ✓ explained a quadratic equation ✓ was the only dad on the field trip to the zoo ✓ played tag in the rain ✓ read THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD around the beach campfire ✓ couldn't wait for the kids bed time ✓ have been looked up to as the smartest man in the world ✓ gone to 7-11 just … (4 comments)
life perspective: Let Go Of The Controls
- 02/21/08 04:15 PM
A private pilot. That’s what they call it. A license to venture out to your local airport, plunk down your rental fee and bore holes through the sky for an hour or two. License to fly. Got my license to fly over twenty years ago. My wife gave the okay. No kids, no mortgage, no responsibilities to speak of. Now she says no. But flying was fun while it lasted. Took lessons in a Cessna 150. It’s a two-seater airplane with the wing above you so you have a really good view of the ground while you’re flying. I like that. … (5 comments)
life perspective: A Plethora of Options - Life Options
- 02/19/08 10:57 PM
Options. aka Choices. We face them every day. Options of speech, options of behavior, options of fast food places, and options of attitude. I’ve been learning about other options lately. Options in the stock market. Kind of a hobby of mine. Here’s that I’ve learned so far. Options are risky. Options are unpredictable. Options can soak your cash in a heartbeat. While they’re all of those, they’re not all that complicated.
Skip this easy-to-understand explanation of options if you already understand them... An option is the right, but not the obligation to purchase a stock at a given price. … (0 comments)
life perspective: Rage, Rage
- 02/18/08 01:09 PM
We've all heard the phrase, "Road Rage" -- That 20th century phenomenon of rude, risky, violent behavior on the road. It's infancy, best as I can remember, was in Los Angeles, CA in the late 80's when people started getting shot by other motorists on southern California freeways. Everybody blamed everybody else because of some roadway foibles. It spawned the popular bumper sticker, "COVER ME, I’M CHANGING LANES."It even motivated the lawmakers to propose a "drive with a gun, go to state prison" legislation. I don't know if it ever passed. Through the 90's the behavior broadened to include all kinds … (2 comments)

Life can get complicated. Very complicated.The overload of information available to us is staggering. I simply typed wisdom into my search engine for the World Wide Web. There are 108,000,000 sites where I can go to learn more about wisdom. I used to think an encyclopedia was overwhelming. Thought it was the standard of what any educated person needed to know. Mine has twenty-one volumes and an index. It all fits on one shelf.I once read about a man who read the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica. A to Z. It was his hobby. I thought now here’s a worthy endeavor. I’ll read through … (13 comments)
