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…

Zombie Apocalypse
Let’s assume that I am right and the Zombie Apocalypse is a real threat. It is just coming in a different form than we have been taught to imagine. Today, we are infighting. We are players on the same team playing the same sport not willing to come together or listen to either the offensive…

Quick Quips
Churches: The setting of Star Wars when we meet Obi One Kinobi for the first time is 100 meters away from a 2000 year old cathedral built into the rock. Obi One is a more realistic embodiment of the church than any of its learjet flying, Vatican living, mega church versions that we have today. …

Peace, Love, Hope for More
I was brought up Catholic and to believe in the J man. I was also taught about the resurrection and the crucifixion and world history. How in the Middle Ages we fought the Holy Wars to promote faith. What Robin Hood was based on. And how in WWII Adolf Hitler wanted to create a race…

Quicksand – Stuck
Stuck. It’s a hard word to work around. Stuck. It means unable to move. I had a colleague once who told me a joke about quicksand. He said, ‘remember when you were a kid in school, you were taught to fear quicksand. They made it seem like it was going to be a big deal…

Slavery Innovated
In 1865 the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified abolishing slavery. Well, if you look at history with a cynical lens, slavery is making a comeback. As far as I am concerned, anyone who is against Medicare for All is Pro-Slavery. Let me explain through the lenses of slavery, dictatorships and our…

Success – Speed vs Time
Running a marathon is a good metaphor for life. It is hard to do and to do well. Eliud Kipchoge just did the impossible and ran a 1:59. For those who don’t run, it is painfully fast for us mere mortals. For many years the Boston Marathon has been the benchmark for long distance runners. …

Traitors Among You
Dear Democrats, I am not usually a snitch or tattle tale but I think you have two traitors to your mission among you. Both are seemingly masters at the trick of hand, having you focus on one thing while something else is happening in the wings. The two traitors to the Democratic party are Nancy…
