Life Lesson Four Do some mile-walking first Similar to previous lessons but entirely different, is what to do when it comes time to judge people, and circumstances when making decisions. No one should go around being judgemental, but there are times when it’s necessary in order to size up things and make choices. Usually, three……
Don’t Buy Into The Hype
Life Lesson Three Sleep on it. This lesson has to do with standards, which you yourself set. Don’t let others set them for you or tell you what they should be. That said, set them higher than you believe you can achieve but are realistically attainable. That’s the trick. Only you will know where your……
Don’t Jump on Bandwagons
Life Lesson Two Be true to yourself. https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2019/feb/13/at-arms-length-are-tattoos-finally-becoming-uncool Throughout my life, I’ve been a misfit. Didn’t quite fit in with this crowd, didn’t form with that crowd. It’s a search I think every person undertakes whether they want to admit it or not, but it’s obvious when you just have a look around. People are……
Life Lessons
Since I’m around my daughter 50%, or less, of her life these days, there are things which I’ll always feel are important to have her learn, with or without my assistance. {Note: As of May, 2021, Cecelia’s mother arranged things so I only see her 1 hour per week, supervised, at my cost. If I’m……
Baby Pictures
[learn_more caption=”Click here to learn more”]I’m taking the opportunity tonight to try and organize my massive media library comprised of photos and videos I’ve taken over the past decade or so, and in doing so, of course, have come across some that are simply remarkable. One, in particular, is a video of my daughter taking……
Amazon Tells New York Nevermind
At the last minute, for Amazon to decide to not locate their much-anticipated HQ2 in New York because they were obviously not welcome there by the government and loudmouthed activists, is an example of how insane some situations have become between politicians and capitalists. If you look at the photos of the people who don’t……
The Queen is Dead Boys
This clip from 1962’s The L-Shaped Room is a right bit of fun: https://youtu.be/E_Ggz-iAxsA I don’t bless them Farewell to this land’s cheerless marshes Hemmed in like a boar between arches Her very Lowness with a head in a sling I’m truly sorry – but it sounds like a wonderful thing I said Charles, don’t……
Hope
All great guitarists, and many not-so-great, name their guitars. B.B. King famously played his “Lucille” and Jerry Garcia had names for his custom masterpieces like “Wolf,” and “Tiger” since that’s what was inlaid in their headstocks. His guitars became incredible musical machines and works of art in his later years. Stevie Ray Vaughn even named……
Baby Boomers and Money=Babies and Money
This is a financial study just released by Merril Lynch about Baby boomers and their financial standing and comprehension. Baby boomers, mind you, being the generation that should be retiring now en masse. There should be a HUGE transition of wealth they’ve accumulated and saved being moved, withdrawn, spend, gifted, etc… But the reality is……
Just When You Think You’ve Seen it All
I had a revelation yesterday, which is something I have with far less frequency as I get older. Through both fortune and misfortune, I’ve been witness to some pretty incredible events, spectacles, and situations. I’ve been part of, and tangential to, many relationships over the past 35 years, give or take a few here and……
