71. The Soulmate Myth
January 30, 2016
For me television programming has become more annoying, especially lately. Professionalism has flown right out the window. Examples: 1) Big hype in San Diego about the Holiday Bowl featuring USC and Wisconsin, except the Wisconsin highlights were of Nebraska. I guess they couldn’t tell the differenc...

72. The Holidays: Past & Present
January 08, 2016
My thoughts for this essay are about fourth quarter of 2015: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Day—the jolly Holiday Season, but mainly Christmas since the others are (for me) leadoff hitters for the main event. To review, Halloween led off with a homerun as chronicled in GHOST ...

73. Christmas Blahs
December 20, 2015
You know, when I was a young lad growing up in the Great Lakes area, Christmas season was a magical time. During that era, weather was quite different than it has been in recent years; that is, presently snow is rarely seen on Christmas and outdoor skating is totally an activity of the past because ...

74. Ghost of Halloween
November 06, 2015
Kissner’s saloon, sometimes sarcastically referred to as the Tea Room, in Defiance, Ohio was packed Halloween night 2015, the bar patrons anticipating the arrival of the Bud Widmer Rube Band after the musicians completed the parade route. The after-parade jam session is a Kissner’s tradition dating ...

75. A Perfect Storm of Self-Destruction
October 24, 2015
This is a difficult dissertation to write; not in terms of the actual composition, but in how to communicate context. (But isn’t that frequently the problem?) Writers are advised to respect readers, which I always strive to do; and therefore, hope you will receive the meaning in the spirit it is giv...

76. Mystery of Life
October 08, 2015
“The most important things in life are unknown and unknowable.” – W. Edwards Deming
I have to tell you, dear reader, that statement of Deming’s is downright annoying. More irritating is that I know Deming is right; and it becomes clearer to me as I grow older. For instance, when science ...

77. The Burly-cue Is What It Was
September 17, 2015
Coming of age back in the day… Earlier this week I reminisced with a friend about how much easier twenty-first century adolescent boys have it with respect satisfying their hormonal urges—at least visually. A veritable cornucopia of smut and depravity is available 24/7 for one with access to...

78. The New Human Race & Business
August 27, 2015
One of my first jobs in American industry was on the west coast for the appliance controls division of a large corporation headquartered in Minneapolis. I worked in a laboratory as a test engineer with a lot of young, mostly single guys like me. In the beginning the job was fast-paced, but mellow as...

Killjoy – noun: one who spoils the pleasure of others He starts to back out from a supermarket parking space. In the corner of his eye he spots a car speeding down his aisle. Simultaneously as he begins to brake, she exclaims, “Watch out for that car!” Startled, he lurches to a sto...

80. A Useful Myth: Middle East Peace
July 10, 2015
Many aspects of life are elegantly simple in nature, but made complex by those whose purposes are served by doing so. Usually the motivation of the obscurers has to do with the law and politics for the sake of billable hours, faux posturing, and/or votes. The media, eager to be relevant, eagerly pil...
