I Got Your Comments Right Here

I have my opinion. You have yours. In most cases this works, except in bars near closing time or with my ex-wife because we both know whose opinion really counted (one hint, it wasn’t mine). It especially works on the internet. Free expression. Where else can you find it if not there and maybe also dog groomers?… Continue reading I Got Your Comments Right Here

I Do and I Don’ts

Now for some “I Do and I Don’ts”  – my way of clearing my head of random thoughts. Sure, we’re not supposed to use ‘and’ or ‘but’ so much, but sometimes, you just can’t help yourself.  You should try it… I do think I should plan for my retirement, but I don’t think I’ll ever actually… Continue reading I Do and I Don’ts

Oh, and one more thing. You only have… Continue reading Immortality – Ten Reasons to Think Twice

Each has their own ideas about what the answer should be even as they both suggest we move away from our base-10 numbering system. Scientist… Continue reading Shocking!
