I went to a movie on a whim last night. No big deal… except it was a 3-D movie and I was very impressed! It even had a pre-movie cartoon just like the movies always had when I was a kid. With the big ol’ 3-D glasses on, I was responding just like a kid, [...]

I follow a twitterer (and blog writer) by the name of David Sitton. I love what he does in life and suppose I feel a sense of camaraderie that is bred from some sort of similarity in the way our lives have been orchestrated. He recently had an interesting article entitled The Missionary Call: How [...]

I’m being attacked by a foreign substance! For my entire life, spring has been one of my most favorite times of the years. While it still is, one of the markers that Spring has sprung is becoming my nemesis — pollen! I’m snorting, sniffing and snotting like I’ve never done in my life and it [...]

I’ve discovered the single identifying mark that delineates you as “old.” Unfortunately, it isn’t a new phenomena for me; its actually been noticeable, at least by me, for a couple of years. Since I’d never seen it before, on me, I wasn’t able to readily identify it. It was only through living with it over [...]

i went to a restaurant here in Brazil over the weekend that had what they called a “traditional Brazilian coffee.” A traditional Brazil afternoon coffee would serve as a full meal in anyone’s book. I remember being invited over for “afternoon coffee” at an acquaintance’s home back in the 80′s while living in Brazil. The [...]

I’ve come to believe that coffee must be a magic elixir. Over the last three days I’ve raised a cup of the dark brew with five different people. The company of each, perhaps enhanced by the ground beans, was delightful. Some were old friends and those moments are always savored. Most were new sharers-of-the-beverage in [...]

I am amazed in my own life how poorly I communicate with those I think I know the best. Seems I’m not alone. A recent study published in the January issue of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology concluded that married people may think they communicate well with their partners, but the truth is that [...]

There are times when I shake my head and quietly ask myself, “Why?” I suppose I’m actually thankful that I don’t do too much head shaking in this manner. It is rather disconcerting. Though, being completely candid, it is in those moments where my comprehension of the eternal becomes more focused, more broad, more understandable. [...]
