  • A Lobster’s Death

    How does a lobster die?   If it is put into water that it is too warm, it will thrash around violently to struggle for its survival.  However, if the same lobster is put into tepid water and the water is slowly brought to a boil, it accepts its fate without care.   I imagine…

  • A Math’s Book Cover

      I have a limited understanding of math.  Past algebra and pre-calculus it gets very fuzzy, but up until that level, I have it down pat pretty much with the exception of buying things I want and how many cups of coffee I should drink daily.  That being said I am always a bit confused…

  • Symbiotic Control

    I was sitting on a pillow on the ground watching my dog chew a vertebrate bone that she found while rummaging in the woods this morning.  There was some tendon or gristle still left inside and she was as satisfied and as happy as I have ever seen her. After my divorce, my old dog…

  • All in the Balance

    Those who make money have the ability to predict the future.  Those who are rigid in their thinking cannot. Money is not the most important thing though.  The predictor knows this and can see and figure out solutions to problems and/or clearly see what the solution to a problem will be in the future.  I…

  • A Trumpian Shakespeare

    Does anyone else find it ironic that some actors are the biggest critics of Donald Trump?  Some go so far as to call him a fraud. All actors are frauds. It is literally their job description and was established by their demi-god playwright William Shakespeare.  All the world’s a stage, and all the men and…

  • Circles of Opinion

    Most western people look through the lens of right and wrong.  I was certainly one of the people for many years. In my adolescence I would argue my opinion as though my life depended on its correctness.  When I look back at that time, I can see just how wrong I was and how much…

  • Dear Bean Counters

    Dear Bean Counters, I hope you continue to do your job well.  Whoever you are, you are the masters of apathy.  Well done. You give people just enough hope that social mobility is achievable and within reach. Just look at airports for example.  First and business class are luxuries that most of us will never…

  • The Adults in the Room

    Is it me or have the adults left the room.  I read a Twitter post recently in which the writer asked if the political system had always been this crazy or are we at a different place.  My thought, a different place. Wherever I look, I see entitled whiny wimpy scared uncertain angry people who…
