The Howard Theories has already done this one. There are Muse’s everywhere… My life is the Muse. I wanted a good story … We just want everyone to have a good story, so live it. It really is that easy. Furthermore – it is not just creative thinking, that is too simplistic. You will “find…
72 Hours back in New England –
The region reigns supreme, too bad its cold and windy. There are some who will tell you “it makes them stronger, more resilient”, I on the other hand, think that’s just a little rationalization. It makes us feel better, that “we can handle it.” Psychology 101 The reality couldn’t be further from that. 55 degrees…
A good old fashioned ramble. Hang on.
Blame, (praise), for this ramble, resides at the feet of Robert Sapolsky, Stanford … or Chip Silvestri, Sturbridge. Maybe somewhere in between.Why is one persons life so much more wonderful or difficult than another persons life, given the same ingredient mixtures. Some prevail because of and some stumble because of. It may very well be…
WSJ article – who are the people in the old photographs ?
Pictures are wonderful… let’s thank those who put the names and dates. There is almost always someone in the family who cares, some where, to carry forward. The pictures aren’t really just about the “now”, they are the line that goes back in time and carries forward. Lest you forget the world we live and…
Pickleball is great once again … I already miss my FL PB friends and I haven’t left yet.
We are starting our winter 2022 wind down. Only 2 weeks until our first trek back to MA. I like to drive, see some backroads, small towns etc… It rare that the 3 of us actually play together often as PB sorting doesn’t work so smoothly. We can have anyone as a fourth …. as…
WSJ COMMENT SECTION, Another HK comment ..
Article title: Part-time Retirement Programs. Firstly, it is a demographics issue, more retiring than coming on in. Second, easier to have the old train the new in the basics. Third, unless you are active, retirement can be a bit boring. Fourth, a little work aggravation, that you don’t have to really care about is great….
WSJ – Article lead, Tom Brady not ready for Pickleball. PB is everywhere, Hurry up Tom, we’re waiting.
Hurry up Tom, we’re waiting, PB wants you. Watch some videos on YouTube. I’m sure your hand eye coordination is pretty good. We have courts in Ocala FL, and Sturbridge MA. I’ll get a few guys, my wife will take on anyone, bring the kids, we have a pool. Good times .. Good times.
Oil … We just crossed the Permian Basin, twice.
Thanks to Vlad, crude oil or more directly “ the oil market” … oil has gone through the roof. Since it is the secret sauce to everything, I have few opinions, a recommendation, and a reality check. First the reality, the players, there’s the raw material, then secondly an ”oil marketplace,(traders)”, thirdly there is over-dependence…

Freakonomics Radio / People I mostly admire – On changing ones mind – Robert Sapolsky, on free will
Commenting has become my newest semi-retirement hobby. Sapolsky’s ability to do the science, practice the art, talk out both sides of his mouth is the living proof of life. The more public / popular a person is at any given moment in time, cannot speak in pure honesty, it is always nuanced to that moment. It seems to…
