131. Thoughts of Defiance
June 11, 2012
First, I am not a defiant individual. Not at all. Smart-alecky? For sure. A rabble-rousing, status quo-disrupter? That’s me! (But, I like to do it with stealth.) The defiance in this title refers to Defiance, Ohio, a hamlet located at the confluence of the Auglaize and Maumee Rivers. The name origin...

132. A Conversation with the Devil
May 24, 2012
Plummeting down a steep hill on 146th Street toward Greyhound Pass peddling hard, my bike reached top speed, whatever that is. It was wind-in-the-face, bugs-in-the-teeth exhilarating. The front wheel caught a rut at the bottom causing bike and body to obey the laws of physics. It took two constructi...

133. Mother's Day
May 13, 2012
On this day more than all others, it’s appropriate to reflect on that one person with whom you enjoyed the longest human relation of all; of she who loved you before you were born; of she who walked through the valley of the shadow of death to give you life. It turns out I’ve been thrice bl...

134. Graduation Daze
May 12, 2012
I drove past a local high school yesterday, which reminded me it’s graduation time—again. But dig this: no one asked me to give the commencement address—again. I mean c'mon, man, they really should! You see, I’ve lived a colorful, roller-coaster life, have plenty of worldly and worldwide experience;...

135. Cinco de Mayo
May 04, 2012
Dennis and I have been buddies since tenth grade. I won’t tell you how many decades our relationship has spanned, but long enough to finish college, graduate school, marry (Dennis claims he has been happily married and divorced numerous times), enter the world-of-work, and ride off into the sunset. ...

136. Revolution: It's Hammer Time, Baby!
April 29, 2012
Abraham Maslow once said that when one becomes proficient with a hammer everything begins to look like a nail—or words to that effect. I recently wrote about a startling and irrepressible revolution that affects us socially, commercially, and culturally. To summarize, most changes during my...

137. It's a Freaking Revolution!
April 25, 2012
Fifteen years ago I flew across the country on business several times a month. Headquarters was in Southern California, and I was responsible for building a factory in central Indiana. When compelled to wait at connecting airports, usually in an airline club, there were two things that made me uniqu...

138. Mirror, Mirror!
April 15, 2012
Have you really—I mean really—ever experienced trauma? I’m not talking about the serious injury kind or trauma including any kind of injury. I’m referring to a potential life-changing moment based on an instant observation when that observation completely turned your world upside down; and not in a ...

139. Cartoon Characters: Kickin' it Old-School
April 07, 2012
When I was a kid, a typical Saturday afternoon was spent at the Strand Theater with several hundred more of my ilk. For the price of admission, 12-cents, I was treated to five cartoons, a news reel, a cliff hanger serial (Rocketman, etc.), and a double feature, usually westerns. I grew up with the D...

140. When a House Is Not a Home
March 29, 2012
Sometimes while driving through the Midwestern countryside one or another of many old, abandoned houses takes my glance. Most are characterized by faded paint, broken windows, and a partially collapsed roof. What’s left of a tricycle rusts among the ragged, unruly vegetation in what was once a front...
