I am noticing a disturbing trend. It has creeped into our lives in a very subtle way and grown into a destructive entity destroying our collective soul, like a societal tapeworm reproducing itself a million times, in a thousand different forms. In my fifty plus years of course I realize that there must be change, …

Dream Job
I have found my dream job! I don’t know what it pays, but it doesn’t matter. When you’re doing what you love, the satisfaction is its own reward. Unfortunately, there’s not much information on which companies actually hire for this elite skill. Monster.comdoesn’t mention it at all, but if you want something bad enough you must …
Survivor? Ha!
The other day I was looking through my local TV listing. Actually, I wasn’t looking through it per se, as much as I was searching for the answers to the crossword puzzle on page one, which, as it turned out, happened to be on the last page I looked at. Then I proceeded to fill …

No Cord For Me, Thanks
I love doctors. You will almost never hear me say a negative word about them. They look great in their white coats carrying clipboards. You must realize by now, in this country looking great is of primary importance. It doesn’t matter whether you know what you are doing, if you look great then everything’s okey-doke. …
Perfect Rating
Let’s take a moment to think about perfection. La la la la hmm hmm hmm Okay that’s enough. Were your thoughts about the Supreme Being or perhaps last night’s goulash? Whatever it was, the problem with perfection is that it is all encompassing and yet subjective. Think about the lowly taco. If I asked ten …
