If you’re an avid reader or movie watcher, you’ve probably heard of the six basic plots of all stories. An article I read described them and mentioned which ones are the most popular. It said there are “six core trajectories … Continued here
For several years I’ve shared this song on Independence Day (July 4). But I believe it’s even more appropriate for the holiday (HolyDay) Christians, around the world, are about to share. A day that marks what one tortured soul endured … Continued here
I was born in Colorado. And my parents moved away, when I was still very young, because my dad was in the Air Force. But also because they preferred other places. When I grew up and visited Colorado, I couldn’t … Continued here
I love how I can charge up my mobile devices and take them with me and use them for hours without even plugging in. Because it would be awful if I had to take a gas-powered generator with me everywhere. … Continued here
The Mamas and the Papas. Hard to believe that was actually a name for a band. But, yep, from around 1965 to 1968, they were very popular. And their melodies and harmonies were on the airwaves everywhere. One of their … Continued here
If you’ve never taken a Sunday morning drive, you’ve missed something special. It’s not the dazzling, mind-blowing experience you had when you watched those superhero movies. So, even if I shared a cool driving video, most people would yawn and … Continued here
I think there’s a good chance that I have a tendency to pray for me more than I pray for you. I know, I know. It’s totally selfish. And I don’t feel good about it. But, hey, at least I’m … Continued here
Oh yeah. You better believe I’m gettin’ my fair share. And I don’t care how many rich people have to ante up till I get it. Because I’m an American. And I want my piece of the American dream. I … Continued here
I remember when, back in 1998, a renowned neurosurgeon told Elgielene and me to “get your affairs in order.” Have you ever been told that? It’s like somebody just dropped a heavy, dark blanket over your head. And I’ll get … Continued here
Why would somebody use the phrase, “whispers in the wind?” I’d say it’s usually to illustrate futility or loss. And I’d also say, it’s an ideal way to get that point across. Whispers in the wind have no chance of … Continued here
Probably most everybody has been affected by this at least once. I have. And I’m talkin’ about what others have said about you. And how you’ve been negatively affected by it. I’m grateful, to my Dad, for giving me some … Continued here
If I’m elected, I’ll do my best to restore whirled peas. And bring hominy to every household. Because, c’mon people. Can’t we all just get along? After all, we’re one race. So, that’s a great starting point. And speaking of … Continued here
Here’s sort of a definition for the expression “to tempt the fates.” To do something you know to be dangerous, or probably be dangerous. Patrice thought driving that old car would tempt the fates; it was sure to break down. Yeah, … Continued here
There’s more to life than stuff. OK. There. I said it. And I defy you (or anyone) to prove me wrong. Because you can’t. Yeah, there’s more to life than fixins. Fixins are just a Southern way of sayin’ stuff. … Continued here
It’s March 17, 2023 as I write this. So, here’s an Irish toast for ya. “May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart and warmed by the smiles of the … Continued here
I worked in a disco. Yep. It’s true. I was a bartender. And I also worked as what they called a “floorwalker.” That was one of the guys who (you guess it) walked around the floor to make sure they … Continued here
As I scrolled through some information on the www this morning, I discovered that today (March 13, 2023) is K9 Veterans Day. And first, I gotta say I didn’t know there was such a day. Secondly, it makes perfect sense … Continued here
The movies out now are mostly total junk. And I know they don’t, as a rule, cater to guys, like me, who prefer to be entertained and encouraged. Because, apparently, most people out there in the wide world would rather … Continued here
Several years ago I conjured up a 7 layer architecture to describe the human heart. But, keep in mind, it’s a product of my own wishful thinking. Because the human heart ain’t nothin’ like this. So, the 7 layer architecture … Continued here
