141. The Bounty System in Sports
March 23, 2012
The NFL commissioner recently came down hard on the New Orleans Saints for a system of bounties placed on opposing players. That is, if a valuable opponent could be knocked from the game cash rewards were distributed. Head coach, Sean Payton, was suspended for a year, the Saints fined, and former de...

142. Shariah Law for the USA?
March 15, 2012
Let’s get this out of the way: I am no expert with respect to Abraham’s three great religions or any other faith for that matter. How-some-ever, I am a curious observer (to the point of being nosy), and I am a thinker. That is, I often sit in the dark and ponder. Unfortunately, most of the things I ...

To bring you up-to-date… On Wednesday, Tim, Randy, and I flew from Houston to New Orleans to give a Thursday seminar for Louisiana field personnel.

145. Now & Then
February 18, 2012
You know, every once in a while I zone-out and review my life, mainly to count blessings, which have been numerous. So far it’s been a good ride with (I hope) more to come. I do not dwell in the past, but I do permit myself a review looking for “lessons learned” in order to improve the future. In ot...

146. An Idiot's Tale of Singapore (Part 2)
February 11, 2012
To complete this tale of idiocy and temporary insanity, which (according to Shakespeare) signifies nothing; here I sit at three o’clock in the morning writing the conclusion to one slice of my life…
…so we left the sisters from Washington DC at their hotel. We wanted to dodge them as mu...

147. An Idiot's Tale of Singapore (Part 1)
February 08, 2012
William Shakespeare wrote, “Life is a tale told by an idiot—full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Although I readily admit to telling my tale with a touch of idiocy, I disagree with the bard that ones life is not significant; at least for the short-term. I do agree that long-term (con...

148. The Emerging American Gangster
February 04, 2012
You know how sometimes you zone-out and a random thought pops into your unsuspecting noggin? Lately I’ve been thinking about gangsters; but, not those sleepy-eyed, clown-attired, speech-slurring, dope-using, halfwits who call themselves gangstas. No, my thoughts have been focused on an emerging type...

149. Political Bench Jockeying
January 29, 2012
You know, I’m in the mood to (…I almost wrote make sport of…) point out some human deficiencies (in other people of course), but not in a mean way. The spirit of my satire is intended to be friendly, good-natured, and self-deprecating, but also to communicate lessons learned and food for thought (or...

150. Our Nerf Ball Culture vs. Romney & the NFL
January 25, 2012
You know, as I grow older I seem to have less and less tolerance for the indiscriminate slinging of pure, unadulterated bullshit. Trouble is I don’t know how much worse it is today compared to earlier in my lifetime on account o’ I happen to have an extra portion of cluelessness in my DNA; I'm by na...
