New Thoughts for Friday

The CEO suggested that I post a TED.com video once a week.
When I listen/watch these videos, I can’t help but feel hopeful and optimistic. These are the interesting, fascinating people of our time. I’m delighted to take a day to share them.
And since we all know that Fridays are light work days, I hope [...]

Thursday Thirteen - Odd but true facts about losing weight.

About a year ago, I decided to learn everything I could about the latest research in diet and weight loss.  I have worked out for over 30 years.  It was time to learn something new.

Here’s the best, all be it odd, facts about losing weight:
1. Calories don’t matter that much.
It’s not your number of calories [...]

Joy.

What can I add to a conversation about someone that so many people have talked about?

Dr. Randy Pausch died last week.  He was forty-seven years old and had three children.  The cancer that killed him was no sissy.  Pancreatic cancer is like drawing the shortest straw in the “who gets eaten first” contest.  It is [...]

In this process, I’ve had to evaluate what works for me. I’ve let go of a lot of situations, people and possession that [...]

Lust.

I have lusted in silence.  I have lusted in lusty lust.
Saturday, my lust was full filled.
Here’s what happened…..
We were on our way to attend an Earth Expo (another story).
“Do you mind if we stop off at Meinenger’s?  I need to get some more ink,” I said.
“Where right here,” D. said.
He pulled over to the curb.
“This [...]

Those damned Poll-lochs

When I was a kid, we’d pile into the station wagon and drive to my Aunt Betty’s house for holidays. The oldest of my father’s six sisters, Aunt Betty’s house was an island of security and ritual. For years, the holidays revolved around turkey, mash potatoes, See’s Candy and conversations about those damed [...]
