Prince Charles –

Charles – He is a Border Collie, that makes him a bit strange right out of the gate.  They like to be busy.  Worse, he grew up in a Condo, with a cat.  Needless to say, he was on meds, anti depressants to be exact.  Charlie is what I call him, but his mother calls him…


Charlie’s theory on time –

Charlie’s theory on time – I can get up when you get up, but I am not. It’s too early. I will get up when mommie gets up, she is far more realistic. Someone will give me some breakfast.  Then I will rest a bit. I will do some stretching while you do your stretching….


Time may be the enemy

Time is the enemy or is your friend – occasionally it is quite simple. we live by an external clock that says, work time, family time with kids, family time no kids, exercise time, eat time, sleep time and play time.  The funny part is that clock simplifies the random but necessary activities that all people do.

Aggravation theory – September 2015

Aggravation theory – September 2015 The goal is win / win  – with enough food produced Time goes by, ingredients languish on the counter ..

For me it became clear.  “Time” is right there … the tide’s relentless march in and out, moving sand, creating and destroying, all at…


Negotiation

Negotiation is the process of coming to a set of terms that satisfies the parties. or Negotiation is the process by which a person deciphers how important something really is and whether they should even bother.
