I have been quiet here lately, as is no doubt obvious to any who actually pay attention to this site. Some might be curious why, more likely few are really interested. And that is precisely why I have been quiet. I have once again been wrestling with the concept of “Why bother?” What is the […]

We have a tendency to equate those who commit evil with larger groups, simply because we do not truly understand or have the correct information. A good friend of mine has shared this in an attempt […]

It is also generally not something that happens wholesale. If we want to change the course of humanity, it is not as simple as writing convincing words and just making it happen. Especially when we are talking about billions of humans, many who […]
Creating a fitness lifestyle requires a lot of discipline and routine. Unfortunately, not everyone is disciplined or works well with routine. I am a perfect example. While I can be very disciplined in specific instances, I am far from a disciplined personality. And routine, frankly, drives me insane. I thrive on variety … even in […]

The first and basic definition … right from the internet (which of course never lies) … is “the governing body of a nation, state, or community”. Or in even simpler terms … the ones in charge. So the next question for me is why exactly […]

This is her first attempt at such a post but I think it is heartfelt and gives us […]
As I think I may have mentioned along the way, I took a bit of a “vacation” that i just recently got back from. I am not sure one can truly call it a vacation when I don’t have a typical 9-5 life, but it was a change of scenery and a bit of refreshment […]
Anyone who has gained weight, then gone through the process of trying to lose it again, knows that it is not a situation of “equal and opposite”. Somehow what it seems to take mere days to gain, takes weeks or even months to lose. There are reasons for this, some of them scientific explanations, but […]
I was born in Boston Massachusetts. This pins several labels on me: Bostonian, Masshole (to some), American, Yankee, New Englander … to name a few. My mother was Jewish. This pins other labels on me: Jew, Zionist (to some) … plus some negative ones … yid, cheap skate, killer of Jesus … to name a few. I am anti […]
To me, it is the ultimate arrogance … or maybe self-delusion for any one human to believe that they single-handedly can change the course of humanity. For others to think the same of another, well … I am not sure if that is naiveté, wishful thinking, or simply and willful release of self-responsibility. It drives me insane when people lay the blame of everything […]
