Have you ever been disappointed? I know I have, but I ask myself why. Well the answer is simple, it is me and my expectations. When we expect people to act a certain way, food to taste like we thought, places to be as pretty as imagined, things to work as intended, etc., we become […]

Slavery
I know that slavery supposedly went away with the Civil War, but did it really? In today’s world, slavery looks different. Did you realize that everyone that works is a slave to both the Federal government and to the poor. If you are asking what do you mean, I am free. Are you really? I […]
Mistakes
So how do you define mistake? Apparently a mistake from my definition does not match what others say. I define it as a misunderstanding or inaccuracy. We were at a light today and the sign on the light said left lane must turn left and the right lane goes straight. I was in the right […]

Travel Frustrations
I travel a lot for work and for the most part the hotels I stay in are pretty decent and usually I am on the top floor. This time due to a contract they have, I am on the 2nd floor and I absolutely hate it. I try to be courteous to those below me […]
Thanking God
Do you take credit or do you give it to God? I use to take credit for those instances when brilliance would hit me and that proverbial light bulb would go off. At work I try to deflect when people say thanks for the information or help or whatever as I know it is not […]
Eating too much
