Sunday Thoughts: Death is a Door
In his famous poem about death, Henry Scott Holland wrote, “Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened.” Death is just a change in being and a slight change in location. There is no such thing as an after life, it is…

Christmas is Not About Stuff
Thinking about the Christmas wrapping, shopping, and decorating, it hit me. All the stuff that I call traditions and all the seasonal necessities that I think we need are so not necessary.

Sunday Thoughts: Choose Your Battles
Choose your battles. Sometimes peace is more important than being right. I have tried to be as transparent as I can. What you see here on this site and on my Facbook page is my digital fingerprint. I am who I am. I am not much of a mystery. What you see is what you…

Is this Weird? : Facebook
I was looking at Facebook (the greatest time suck ever invented) I was scrolling through the ribbon of people in the “People you may know” section when I realized I do not know about 95% of the smiling faces. I was saying, “I don’t know you, I don’t know you, I don’t know you, cute hair, oh…
