Creativity
I am finally convinced that I am a pretty creative person as my mind constantly wanders into unimagined areas of thought. In my retirement years, I have done a pretty good job of cultivating my creative processes. But I am always looking for ways to unleash my creativity to new areas and levels. When I ran across this article from the New York Times it gave me a different way to think about creativity. We all have fantasies or, if you prefer, ideas. I will give them a different word: “Seeds.” These seeds are the germ-line of books, short stories, songs, the … Continue reading Creativity
Surreal NYC
I am an old country boy at heart so when I visit NYC it seems like a different world to me. I have put together a few photos that make that city seem like a beehive. There is the hive which contains thousands of cells, the worker bees and of course the Queen bee. What do you think? Can you see the connection? Continue reading Surreal NYC
It’s Important To Take A Stand.
I am a fiscal conservative. That makes me a man without a party. The one steady thing I admired about the Republican party, at least until recently, was that they didn’t like debt. “If you were against President Obama’s deficits, and now you’re for the Republican deficits, isn’t that the very definition of hypocrisy?” Senator Rand Paul said as he held up passage of the budget bill for a few hours — perhaps until he realized that the definition fit him, too, since he had voted for the tax cuts that will blow up the deficit. Source: The Republicans Have Become … Continue reading It’s Important To Take A Stand.

Reimaging, Spin, Spin, Spin
Too many times we simply don’t like the name for something and to fix that we give it a new often indistinguishable name. Don’t like the word retirement, give it a new name. Give it a more positive spin. Call … Continue reading Reimaging, Spin, Spin, Spin
Beautiful Things…
In these days of fear and gridlock, it is sometimes difficult to realize that there is always beauty if we open our eyes to what is around us. Yes, fear is a powerful emotion that can paralyze but for the most … Continue reading Beautiful Things…

About Wisdom…
Wisdom has been on my mind lately. But before I get started on this topic I need to distinguish between two types of perceived wisdom, gut wisdom and learned wisdom. Gut Wisdom — Gut wisdom is that feeling you get when you think you instinctively know something. It’s what your gut tells you is the truth. I know the current Oval Office occupant says he is REALLY SMART but I think his self-conceived wisdom is just his biases toward the issue at hand. He may be gut wise but he is definitely not learned wise. I have to include my … Continue reading About Wisdom…
Never Alone…
I have let it be known before that I am a mall walker. Every Friday I walk up to three miles at the local mall. It is good and safe exercise for this 70+-year-old deaf guy. :) One of the things I do pretty regularly during these mall walks is to take unofficial surveys. Sometimes I count the number of women wearing heels higher than 1 inch (around 2%). This time I chose to count the number of kids younger than thirty who are walking the mall clinging their cell phones. I’m not talking about them having them in their … Continue reading Never Alone…

Outside The Box…
For this artsy Saturday, I want to show you an “outside the box” art museum. I love things that stretch your imagination, stretch your brain. I don’t think there is another building quite like this one. It is the Milwaukee Museum … Continue reading Outside The Box…

Nantucket…
I made an “executive” decision a while back to use Flickr as the residence of my future InsearchOfAmerica photo arrays. Just added a new photo album there. If you ever wondered what the island of Nantucket looks like click here. We were there in 1999. We knew that would be our last year living on the east coast so Yvonne insisted we go to Nantucket so she could buy a lightship basket to add to her collection. The island is not as famous as Martha’s Vineyard but still had its share of multimillionaire’s summer cottages and thousands of small shops. The … Continue reading Nantucket…
Flirting in the Workplace..
One of my daily reads is from my friends over at The Drabble. They welcome anyone to submit their words but it must be 100 words or less. It is very creative how so many can pack so much in so few words. Here is an example from a recent post: By Alex ColvinIn In an age of reconsidering appropriate behavior at the workplace, how does one flirt at work? Well, I’ve got it down to a science. 1. Flirt. 2. Profusely apologize. 3. Run away as fast as you possibly can. It’ll go something like this: “Well, hello Nancy … Continue reading Flirting in the Workplace..
