That this blog is a ‘wake up’ (written on the fly) premise reminds me of how I manage to get to sleep, which is by putting a podcast on next to my bunk. Usually about 10 minutes in I’m off to… wherever we go in sleep. Last night I made the mistake of using a Tim Kelly interview with Jay…
All Else Fails, Use a ‘Reveal’
Up front addendum: I’m distracted by an unpleasant matter (which I’ll briefly explain) so forgive any sloppiness in what follows. This is a daily blog, written soon after wake-up. That’s the deal. It’s only 9 AM and I’ve already gotten some insightful entries in my ‘Perfect Ending’ contest. My pick was foreseen right away and the ‘winner’ even provided the…
The Scent of a Good Story
Once in a while Gus seems to find a scent-patch that obviously blows her little doggy mind (need I explain?) and yesterday it got me thinking about story-telling. I’m pretty sure that what’s going on in a dog’s mind when she ‘picks up a scent’ is similar to what goes on in a human’s mind when we’re in the midst…
Made in America? Yep, me too…
I got distracted by another movie yesterday (I do confess to being somewhat of a movie buff) – I mean aside from Snowden — this one for more personal reasons, i.e., the subject matter and the chronology of the story: Made in America with Tom Cruise purports to be the ‘based on a true story’ of Barry Seal, the legendary…
A Close Call
What I mean by ‘A Close Call’ is that I almost skipped today, figuring no one would care, then thought about it and realized I’d care. I mean I either do this daily thing or don’t. Come on, bub, stick it out kinda thing. As mentioned, my routine is to wake up (badly), give my emails a quick look to…
Atwill Caves?
I heard from Joe Atwill regarding my post (two days ago) on his status as a government disinfo agent. What makes our email exchange interesting is his most recent reply. I haven’t answered it yet and will use this post to do so (by just sending him the link). Here’s how it went. On August 7 (three days ago) I…
Double Duty
Got an email upon wake up this morning that did double duty. First, as opposed to the last guy, the insight in this one made me smile. It also re-enforced my view on an important issue; this is always a relief (‘no, actually, I’m not nuts’ kinda thing). I’ll give you ‘bits and bobs’ (see my addendum below) from my…
Why the Silence?
I woke up this morning with (as usual) too much stuff buzzing. I’ll subject you to a list, stopping when my energy to continue fizzles. Most of it can be framed within the question, Why the silence? Why don’t the Intelligent Designers understand that the numerical ‘coincidences’ that link the earth, sun, and moon (read Who Built the Moon?) amounts to…
A Result of a Cranky Wake Up…
Up front addendum: What follows may be of limited interest to many of you, since it’s inspired by personal aggravation, which you might not share. All I can say is this is the way it’s likely to go with a daily blog. The… person whom I quoted yesterday has a problem, or rather problems, plural, with my post/response. One appears…
My Old Friend Atwill…
I’m already wondering ‘What did I get myself into?’ with my ‘daily’ promise. I have a busy day coming up and will be on the road for the afternoon, so forgive my not answering emails today and for the brevity of this post. (I appreciate the emails!) First, I’m trying to suss out a guy named Clif High, or at…
