THE AGONY OF AN ACCIDENTAL INJURY and PICKING UP THE PHONE TO CALL A LAWYER

...L A LAWYER https://youtu.be/hIEVCFsBYc8 It happens in an instant. You just slipped out of the house to get the essentials at the store, leaving your kids under loose supervision by your next-door-neighbor. Your husband is “on the road” and won’t be back for four days, and you need to swing by to pick up your Mom’s prescription and your Dad’s newspaper.

Simple Technology that Allows Me to Speak to You

...start and stop your video. Have a remote microphone; mine is wired and is slipped to my shirt.

...intments, etc. Everything goes through “The Wizard”. Do not let violations slip by, but do not overreact. If the other parent shows up 10 or 15 minutes late to transfer points two or three times, write a formal email “Dear___, dated___, sincerely, your name.” Don’t threaten or bluster; cite to your parenting plan and ask her or him to comply.

Two Examples of a Society in Decline

...to a surprising person. 5. Ann is leaving because The Today Show’s ratings slipped,and she apparently was blamed. My wife Nancy and our FB friends who responded to my post all thought it was a crying shame, but maybe our opinions don’t have the force they once did. 6. I suggested to Nancy, and she agreed, that Darwin’s theory is at work here, but with a slight twist. I call it, “Survival of the Cutest”. 7. Nancy might be tempted to accuse me of a...

A 50 Year Retrospective

...Camp 60+ years ago, the week beckoned ahead, and then the days and minutes slipped by so quickly. Now we are home, watching the Daytona 500. Things have changed greatly in 50 years.

The Challenge to the Church in The Modern World (Or, What’s It All About Anyhow?)

...I have given my word on two profound things in my life: 1. If Nancy would fall in love and marry me, I would try to be a good husband and father; and, 2. If a close relative would recover from a life threatening illness, I would stay in the choir, and therefore the church, for life. Since writing the paragraphs above, I have watched the movie “Noah”, one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and received a review of “God is Not Dead” from a perso...

COMPETENCE

...r me it is a form of meditation. As a younger man, if I tried this I would fall asleep for 40 minutes and never catch up. Now I seem to have an alarm in my head. My eyes pop open at exactly the moment I programmed, so I pop up and walk out the door. This morning the word “competence” popped into my head. I deal with dozens of people each week. They are potential clients, my staff, my family, my Facebook friends who provide joy to me, and my advers...
