I am feeling feisty today. Which means maybe it is time for a good ole rant. Haven’t had one for a while. But since I don’t have a specific rant at the moment, I will try something new … a stream of conscious rant. Who knows what I might “yell” about next? I guess my […]

This is not an opinion, but simple fact. Change, innovation, ANYTHING new requires original ideas, and the very definition of original requires NON-CONFORMIST. Humanity would never even have gotten beyond “primitive” […]
When I tell people I am planning to hike the Appalachian Trail, I generally get one of three replies: You’re crazy. Cool! That’s cool, but you’re crazy!

Back in the dark ages (in other words … before electricity), the best way to spread misinformation was print. Basically if it was printed in some form or other it must be true. Before that it was even easier … one just had to say it with authority. But as humanity became more tech savvy, […]
It seems that time has done one of those funky things again. One minute my trip is, “Plenty of time … it’s not until the end of March.” All of a sudden it’s, “Holy crap … it’s at the end of March!” I still have most of my equipment to buy, but my budget is […]
It may seem odd, but one of the questions I find the toughest to answer is when I am asked, “What do you do for a living?” Even back in the days when I had something resembling a traditional working life, I never quite knew how to answer that question. As far as I am […]
