101. My Greatest Journey
July 05, 2013
A businessman walked into a bar… Sounds like a joke, right? Well, in a way it is, but the joke was on me. This was in my days as a bachelor. At the time I lived and worked in Southern California, and had to make a troubleshooting trip to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was not pleasant. An electro-m...

102. Words! Words! Words!
June 09, 2013
“Words! Words! Words! I’m so sick of words! I hear words all day through; first from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?” — Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady I’ve always been amazed by the versatility of the English language, and the rate at which it evolves; but ...

103. Now Batting Third, Number 14...
May 27, 2013
During my tweener years in northwestern Ohio, when it came to baseball, we kids were either fans of the Cleveland Indians or the Detroit Tigers. Detroit was closer so we saw more of their games, which were telecast from Toledo; but (after all) the Indians were in the Buckeye state, which was the tru...

104. The Strange Tale of Tim Tebow
May 23, 2013
I first saw Tim Tebow play football for the University of Florida as a freshman back-up quarterback. He’d come into the game on short yardage situations or when the team penetrated their opponent’s 15-yard line. The results were usually touchdowns and first downs. Sportscasters referred to him as th...

105. Channeling My Inner Union Slacker
April 20, 2013
You know, folks, I’ve written—or rather related stories—for long as I can remember. The earliest were childhood tales about neighborhood grocers that my brothers and I considered humorous in a Laurel and Hardy kind of way. When we were supposed to be settling down to sleep I’d recite the next nightl...

107. Lessons from the French Revolution for America
March 31, 2013
When the French people overthrew their feudal government beginning in 1789 they aligned to the slogan, “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite” (ou en Anglais): Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.
Equality (doing away with privilege) was the most important part of the slogan, and to obtain equality th...

108. ROPE-A-POPE
March 16, 2013
Once there was a heavyweight championship fight between George Foreman (of grill fame) and Muhammad Ali (nee Cassius Marcellus Clay). Both won Olympic Gold a decade or so apart. Ali defeated the stronger Foreman through a strategy of leaning back against the ropes and protecting himself while he let...

109. Open Letter to Young Men
March 01, 2013
Nature is playing a dirty trick on me. A few years ago I discovered an enemy in the mirror. I wrote about it. To foil the rat-bastard I am very active physically and mentally; constantly training like an Olympian, writing voraciously, and diddling in goofy entrepreneurial projects. Most of the latte...
