Three Little Words…Not Those
Taking a more light hearted approach to death today. But before I go on, if for some reason you’ve never seen Meet Joe Black, but plan to one day, maybe you better not read any further. I … Continue reading the story "Three Little Words…Not Those"Stuffed Up With Stuff
Stuff. We do seem to like it. And collect it. And move it around. And around again and again someplace else. Hopefully in the process we get more enjoyment from it than it costs. Both to the wallet and to our sense of freedom. Tied down to all that stuff. Worried something will happen to … Continue reading the story "Stuffed Up With Stuff"Death – Don’t Make It Real
Not the cheeriest title for a Monday is it? But my hope here is that it feels a bit more so, by the end of the post. Maybe even a little glimmer of peace.

Why not a flute or violin? Even a string bass would have been easier to cart around. So I couldn’t help but smile, and be a little envious there’s not a harp version…yet…when … Continue reading the story "Interactive Shirts from Guitar to Wi-Fi"
Ya Gotta Love English
I’ve always been really impressed by those who learn English as a second language, or third or fourth… There are just so many rules, many of them seemingly arbitrary. And as if that weren’t bad enough, there are countless exceptions to all those rules. I know other languages have their own issues, but let’s just say, I would never want to learn English as an … Continue reading the story "Ya Gotta Love English"
Plastic Ocean…What Now?
So what to do about all that plastic in our oceans? In Algae Marine Research Foundation founder Charles Moore’s words, the only thing we can do is stop polluting and hope the system can clean itself up in the in hundreds of years…[and give the ocean] time to spit it out.” It does seem the general … Continue reading the story "Plastic Ocean…What Now?"Plastic Garbage for the Albatross’ Dinner
