Not An Exit
Sometimes it is an exit, even though it is not. I went into a store, bought an item and headed for the exit. A sign posted said not in use, causing me to walk around to the other door, which promptly did not open when I approached. The sign there said not an exit. I…

Me Or Not Me
Who are we really? What makes people know who we really are? Do you sometimes feel that you have too many faces? I like watching how people interact. Interact with each other, interact with situations, objects, or animals. I spend time watching people when I am at the zoo, the aquarium, a little race car…

Playfull?
I heard an amazing story this week that I still cannot believe happened, but I trust the guy was telling the truth. Not sure that you could make this kind of thing up and tell the story with full sincerity. He saw a group of deer, one looked at him and then charged. The deer…

Have Hope
Hope is a grand word, yet possibly one of the most misused and least understood words. When most people use the word ‘hope’, it can be replaced by the word ‘wish’ in their sentence and their intended meaning is kept intact. It is often thrown about when one has a whim of what could be,…

Commercial Bliss

Word(le) Play 2
It’s a small world. I know that you have heard that phrase, and probably have said it on several occasions. The world is certainly not small, several billion people occupy it. This brings about what could be called “likely unlikely events”. Why do we say that something so big is small? Completely opposite words that…

Word(le) Play
Odd place to find something to write about other than baseball, but I never know when inspiration for a Friday Perspective will come, or where I might be when it rushes in to take hold of my thoughts. Often, I am walking or driving, and I observe funny things. Other times, I just tell the…

My Popcorn
OK, so I like popcorn. I do not eat it all of the time. In college it was the cheapest snack possible, but best of all, no mess! Air popped popcorn had almost no taste, and no calories, so we made it most nights. And I always got my share, because it was my popper.…

Who’s Leading?
Did you ever get into situations and wonder how you got there? Especially with a group, how in the world do you all find yourselves in this strange place? We joined our first Ski Club at school and were on our second outing. We got a lesson each time, then had an hour and a…
