Just a quickie for y’all… …I’m not a Luddite, I was selling personal computers in 1985! But since then I’ve learned that I can’t be bothered riding the latest wave of technology, it’s simply impossible and I may spend outrageous amounts of my time learning technologies that never gain wide acceptance. I don’t spend a…
2014/01/17 Are Ghosts, Demons, Angels and Nations Real or Fictions and Illusions? – How you answer these questions says a lot about your critical thinking skills, premises and how effective indoctrination and propaganda has been on you. Let’s first establish what is meant by Real. There are experiences that only we have and are unable…
2014/01/16 You may have noticed that I put myself out there – I tend to be open and candid about everything within my delusions of control.

I should have jotted down where I read about it and the collectivist media outlet that broadcast the recommendation, but I was too busy…
2014/01/14 You may think that I’ve been away from the keyboard too long since my last essay, but I assure you I have been writing.

2013/12/26 Smoked Ham a Perfect Food When I was a young kid, I loved certain foods, especially those associated with holidays and special occasions: Pierogi were my decreed birthday meal from the time we started the tradition that whoever was celebrating a birthday chose the menu; most special occasions involved some special meat or seafood…
2013/12/13 As a Freshman at Michigan State University in the late 1970s, Ramen was a gift from the Gods for me. I love pasta. I love Cantonese food. I love cheap. I love easy to prepare. Did I mention I love cheap? Ramen was the perfect go-to food for my 18 year old self. I…
2013/12/03 Failure Is How We Get Ahead In Life I’ve been a failure since my first breath. Born with a mortal congenital heart defect I was not expected to live beyond four years of age. But in 1963 failures like me were given a chance to live beyond our natural physiology, pediatric cardiac surgeons at…
2013/11/27 I’ve been a slacker over the last month or so. I hate asking for assistance. Maybe it’s a guy thing, but even when I have been ground into the dirt, asking for help has always been the last thing I would consider. In 1989, I returned to the Great Lakes from California which was…
2013/11/18 Who Doesn’t love Pizza? I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t like pizza of one type or another; be it greasy, need a bib New York slices, Chicago deep dish, crispy thin pizza, Detroit deep dish which is crunchy at the edges and bread-like throughout, seafood pizza of Puerto Rico, or the Greek and sautéed…
