Today was one of those cool days spent with the boys that hopefully they will remember fondly when they are old geezers and that I will definitely treasure forever. My wife and I want them to understand where we spend all our time supposedly working and so we have taken them to work with us. For my wife it is much easier as she is...

I am left handed and proud of it. We are a minority group who will never receive equality with our other handed majority as they have stacked the deck against us. In order to seek equality we have to ask for equal rights but we do not want that, we want equal lefts. The United States Constitution has a Bill of Rights but no Bill...

You can call me crazy. You can call me weird. But you cannot call me on the weekends or in the evenings. I am not a cell phone person. It is not my best friend. I do not carry it with me 24/7. I have a love/hate relationship with my cell phone. I love the convenience of a cell phone but I hate the convenience...

I have a voice and on occasion I am known to use it. I am not afraid to speak up or shout when there is something which I view as unjust, bad policy, or simply wrong. I will never be counted among those who do not give a damn, those who are apathetic, those who are too self-absorbed to care about anything or anyone except...

I know this may sound crazy but I love to walk. I would rather walk then drive. I would rather walk then fly. I would rather walk then run. My neighbor drives to the fitness center which is less than five blocks away so he can run on a tread mill. I have asked him why he does not walk or run to the fitness...

Global warming causes people in Chicago to shoot other people. This past weekend in Chicago, Illinois, over 50 people were shot due to above average temperatures. It seems that as the weather get warmer in Chicago and people are out and about that the heat makes people shoot each other. Of course this is a simplistic explanation but for the past several years whenever the...

What is the truth? Has a politician ever opened his mouth and told the truth, the whole truth, without shading it in his favor? Can we believe anymore what we read in a government publication, in the newspaper, or online? Who can you trust? When I jump on the bus everyday I place my life in the hands of the bus driver. Can I trust...

Proud to be a father 3 times over. Two are growing up and turning out to be great little guys. Each day they make my life even more special as they show me some new discovery or teach me some new way to look at life. Simple things and simple wonders. Rejoice in the little things. They are more interested in the packaging then what...

Growing up I always wanted to be an artist. My parents encouraged my dream by enrolling me in art classes and taking me to visit museums, art galleries, and art shows. Yet no matter whether I took a class in water color, acrylics, drawing, sculpting, or pottery, the end result was the same, shame. I was no artist. Many a fine teacher swore that he...
