Once there was a little dragon. Her name was Lucy. She went to little dragon elementary school. Lucy lived in a big black castle on the top of the hill. Her dad was *this* tall ; her mom was **this** tall. One day she told her mom she had a tummy ache. She could not …
Embracing Sino-Stuff
For sure things “Sino”, aka Chinese, are everywhere. And as time goes I’m working to try more truly Sino products of value. What does that mean? Of course many many MANY products are designed by other countries’ companies and then made in China. I’m speaking to products also designed by Chinese companies. Two recent examples …
Thus The Day Begins
I’ve got a good friend who starts the day this way most mornings, something like… Coffee in the cup, 2-3 newspapers — might be the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the local paper — spread out on his kitchen counter, and the daily crossword off to the side. It’s usually very early, …
Wrong Question
I’ve been asking myself the wrong question for years, it’s not a good practice, not a good idea to focus on things you can’t control, pipe, dreams, unrealistic to the moment, the reality, personalities, and human nature, Rather than asking yourself over and over why something is a particular way, instead consider how fortunate you …

So I used a motorized pallet jack lift to gently move the errant pallet (stacked with boxes) back inline. Just a little …
