Topsy-Turvy World

The world has become topsy-turvy.  It is nothing like it was 20 years ago. Imagine Rip Van Winkle (Google him if you need to) waking up in 2026 from his 20-year slumber.  He would think he had woken up on another planet. To be clear… mankind is capable of great things.  Technology breaks new barriers… Continue reading Topsy-Turvy World

The Downward Spiral

Everybody just stop.  Take a deep breath, and a moment for self-reflection.  Observe what is happening with an open and objective mind. It’s not even who’s right or who’s wrong anymore.  It’s about a social decay that is happening before our very eyes.  It’s about the unraveling of the moral fiber of our society in… Continue reading The Downward Spiral

Trump’s Comments on Mueller’s Death

I started this blog site in 2018.  In recent years I have written less frequently because honestly, people don’t read anymore.  But once in a while events occur which cannot be ignored. First, let’s go back in history. In November 2015, presidential candidate Donald Trump mocked a disabled reporter during a political rally.  Trump supporters… Continue reading Trump’s Comments on Mueller’s Death

The Art of the Lie

Long ago, I heard someone say the following: “Even if they catch you in bed with another woman, you deny it.”  Never mind that it’s wrong. At the time it sounded ludicrous.  Deny something you’re caught in the act of doing?? As ludicrous as it sounded back then, it has strangely come to fruition in… Continue reading The Art of the Lie

It Used to Be…

It used to be that people read books, magazines, newspapers. Now people gorge on social media, scrolling through, all with the attention span of a gnat. It used to be that people would study, work hard, and knew the meaning of the words “research” and “science.” Now people latch onto social media and proclaim themselves… Continue reading It Used to Be…

Let’s Talk GOATS

I feel compelled to write about the recent fascination with the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) subject after the latest Super Bowl. Although the term had not been coined yet, to the best of my recollection the first “GOAT” quarterback back in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and even into the ‘70s was considered to be Johnny… Continue reading Let’s Talk GOATS

“What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”

Last Sunday, Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill was stopped by Miami police officers for alleged speeding and reckless driving violations, while on his way to Hard Rock Stadium for the Dolphins’ season opening game. In what became a controversial incident, Hill ended up face down and handcuffed on the street, before eventually being released.  He… Continue reading “What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”

Can I Have Your Atten…

Nobody likes to read anymore. In fact, this is a source of pride for some people.  “I’ve got too short an attention span.” “If you don’t catch my attention in the first 10 seconds, I’m gone.” We are fully in the age of sound bites, short video clips, and social media followers.  Might as well… Continue reading Can I Have Your Atten…
