No, I haven’t taken up golfing. So, the one stroke I speak of is the kind of stroke you don’t wanna get even once. But on April 17, yeah, just last month, I had one sneak up on me and knock me down pretty hard. That one stroke, put me in the ICU and rehab for three weeks. It’s one thing to read about, … The rest of the story…

Resurrection Day 2025. And no matter what the weather is like where you are, the Light of Life shines as brightly as ever. Because the Son shines his Light on anyone and everyone in the world who wants it. I sure do. How ’bout you? Also known as Easter. But, believe it or not, there are still people who don’t know what it means. … The rest of the story…
It’s Wednesday. So, you know what I’m thinkin’ about. No, not burgers. Well, not JUST burgers. I’m also thinkin’ about being a wise guy. And I know you’ve heard what the first step is. Right? Yeah, wisdom is knowing when to speak. Well, that’s what “they” say. But I say, wisdom is also knowing when NOT to speak. Here’s an example of when someone … The rest of the story…
1977. I remember that year like it was, well, day before yesterday. But it was almost 50 years ago. Wow. And that’s the year NASA launched Voyager 1 into space. And that little spaceship is still traveling through space. In fact, I just read a cool, short blurb about it. The headline said… Voyager 1: A Time Capsule Still Exploring The Cosmos They followed … The rest of the story…
It sounds silly when you say it out loud over and over. Try it. Gimme Gimme Gimme. In case you’re not familiar with what the word is (I can only imagine who wouldn’t be), it’s pronounced like you’re saying give me, but in a fast, slang way. Clear? Good. Now, Gimme Gimme Gimme what’s mine. And what’s yours is mine. Just kidding. Sorta. OK, … The rest of the story…
There I was again. A very young boy in a trance. Or that must’ve been how it looked to any adults who might’ve watched me when it happened. But it wasn’t a trance. It was just me, fascinated with the tiny particles I believed I could see. Maybe I was just affected by the numbers 3 6 9. As in, 369 Hz. But I … The rest of the story…
30 thousand miles, added to the odometer of my new ‘73 Ford Maverick, in one year. And that’s a lot of miles for a guy whose drive to work was only about a mile and a half. But it’s also a lot of other stuff. A lot of miles, memories, and consonants and vowels I racked up so much more than just a bigger-than-normal … The rest of the story…
It was over a dozen years ago. And I asked the question if ebooks online would take the place of traditional books. Back then, I said… ~ I don’t think so. Not very soon anyway. Why? A little thing called electricity. If you use an eReader or tablet or mobile or laptop to read ebooks for kids or any other ebooks, you need electricity … The rest of the story…
A social media friend of mine shared a link to a video of John Wayne throwing a kid into deep creek. Actually it was John Wayne playing the title character from the movie, Hondo. And the movie was based on the book, by the same name, written by Louis L’Amour. His books were partly the products of imagination and largely a part of Mister … The rest of the story…
All I said was, “Thank you for your help.” But I said it to a faker. An AI tool. And it took over 2200 words to figure out how it would respond to my thanks. Enjoy the full Vulcan journey. Or tldr it and skip to the end. The user’s question is “Thank you for your help” Which seems like a polite closing statement … The rest of the story…
