October 26, 2010 – Commentary on Corporations.
So, I’m giving away this documentary today. In hopes that we, as a populace, can get a little more informed. In case you missed the ruling a few weeks ago, “In a dramatic upheaval that sharply divided the Supreme Court, … Continue reading
October 25, 2010 – Sometimes travel doesn’t go the way you expect it to.
Everybody has their favorite movie…that they’re a little afraid to admit they like it to others. Here’s mine. I like this movie because, 1) Steve Martin’s a genius, 2) John Candy left us way too soon, and 3) Because it … Continue reading
October 24, 2010 – Sweater vest.
I decided to give this away a few days ago. But I’ve begun a new ritual – before I give it away, I wear it…one last time. I really loved this sweater. It represents what I believe about … Continue reading
October 23, 2010 – Ah…Austin.
Ever since I’ve moved to Texas, I’ve adored Austin. A couple of miles to the south of Dallas, but way to the left, (if you know what I mean) Austin represents the best of Texas – independent, weird (proudly so,) … Continue reading

So lately I’ve developed a theory…creativity only flourishes…when creativity is needed. In other words, you NEED creativity when you have a small budget. When you have a big budget, it’s actually a disincentive to be creative. Exhibit A: George … Continue reading
October 19, 2010 – The Usual Suspects.
I had to make a decision about the DVDs I’ll be giving away as part of this project. Do I give them away like my CD’s (by theme) or do I give them away one at a time? I … Continue reading
October 18, 2010 – Thoughts of retirement.
Today I give away a great book. The author of this book decided to go live in a retirement community — YEARS before it was time to. He discovered an interesting subculture of retirees who are as clique-ish as … Continue reading
October 17, 2010 – Shake it up.
I bought these salt and pepper shakers when I moved into my new apartment (now one year ago.) They’ve served me well – literally and figuratively…but now it’s time for them to go. They’re a good example of a … Continue reading
What I got rid of today.
