Mark Twain, one of our greatest American writers, was quoted as saying, “Happy is he who forgets (ignores?) what cannot be changed.” Mark Twain, or by the real name Samuel Clemens, lived from 1835-1910. Not really all that long ago, but his simple statement has long lasting meaning. He realized that people must release the […]

Recently, the government released the latest unemployment statistics and the numbers were not good. Currently, our nation has an unemployment rate of 5.7% (economists were expecting 5.6%). This was the seventh straight month of increasing unemployment and it is also a 4 year high. These are not good statistics considering the rising costs of living […]

Over the weekend, I watched an online news clip from CNN’s medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and I just had to write an article about the subject. Yes, it appears that researchers have found not one, but three genes which potentially determine violent behavior in humans. How did our “crack team” of scientists determine these […]

As you know from some of my previous articles, I’m a sports fan. Well, sometimes I would classify myself as a sports nut as I’m sure my wife would concur. Next Tuesday, July 15th, is the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. If you are not familiar with how players are chosen for the game, it […]

Today’s article just happened to pop up in my mind as I was replying to a comment this morning on the previous posting. I mentioned in my comment a statement that I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about in the past, but never wrote anything down on paper. The statement was “if I […]

I wonder what today’s article is going to be about? Is it about a news story? How about another book or movie review? Maybe it’s something that you’ve never really thought out loud about but have only thought about inside. It could be a thought that has never even entered your mind. What could it […]

Here we go again, yes ANOTHER new word. I’m trying to decide if I’m ever going to use a “standard” word again for my article topic. It’s an interesting and thought provoking action coming up with alternative words to describe my article of the day. What do you guys think, do you like it or […]

Yes, I made up another word. As I’m sure you have figured out, this article will have something to do with golf. Now, I’m not the connoisseur of golf like I know some people out in the world are and I have no problem with that. It is a sport and lots of people truly […]
