We are back from 12 days on the road. This is a pretty nice country. It makes you appreciate what our government has done for us.

It really should be a prerequisite that everyone takes road trips to see other parts of the country. They should have a few conversations, with people from that area. It will not be easy, but the rewards will be pretty great. There are far more straight forward people, regular people, working people, than any other…


Howard’s NSA on Enthusiasm and Self Improvement.

Been there and done that in the Howard Theories … Enthusiasm is only a part, a token motivator to help you or your tribe get somewhere. It is needed most of the time, as in ingredient, and almost always necessary to push “ just a little farther“. They call it zest, as in one has…


Arlo ….


Traveling for a week, from FL to AZ. Pickleball plays a pivotal roll again.

We have had a spectacular time … too much to write at the moment. I’ll leave you with how PB allows you to make new friends at a moments notice. We spent the morning roaming the Saguaro National Park in Tucson. There are really no words to use, that give enough thanks, to the Park…

Just because one has facts, or information, or even further, access to information, it only gets you partially down the road. This is the cousin to iq / eq / ei questions. Also related to the curiosity questions, and likely several…


A moment of gratitude, a moment of sadness and then a moment of sharing. I close out again with gratitude.

We have very strong routines, very strong styles, discipline and rarely get caught in the weeds of life. Shelley and Howard are 2 peas in a pod who, without previous conversation, can get to the “quick”, … sort the moment, comment, and execute all within a short time. We laugh about it sometimes, grind our…


WSJ comment to a ”great resignation opinion piece.”

HK After reading the opinion piece and the comments;   4 hours ago, I wrote “it is clear there isn’t 1 problem, but several problems.”    Then 4 hours later I keep reading comments mostly of the “either / or ”  scenario.  People can be so dumb. my HT answer posted. There are multiple answers to…
