The Altruistic Gene
Some people have it, other people don’t seem to. It’s a curious thing. I’m not sure how that happens. Am I the only person who finds this interesting…and even a bit difficult to comprehend? Perhaps because I have the gene, it seems obvious to me, but not to everyone. For better or worse there is …
Will Mull
Recently something came up at home and in text message exchange with the other person I responded "will mull", as a way to convey needing to think about the topic and related decision, next steps, etc. "Will mull it over." The idea of not necessarily making an immediate decision or taking immediate actions on everything. …
Man In Motion
I know a of few these people if I stop and think about it; one friend in particular came to mind recently that spurred this thought; he’s a guy, thus the title of this piece, “Man in Motion.” The title could also be, “Perpetual Motion“. First tho’, just what is the idea? It seems to …
Quirky
We humans, most all of us have a quirk or two. Self expression, we all find our way. Me and my socks. Many colors, patterns, designs. I've taken to not caring too much if they match, either.

Every work morning, I primarily drive on one particular freeway, the infamous 101 that runs the length of the West Coast of the United States. My little sliver, …
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
What do you think is the future of AI? Funny this particular prompt comes up, a sort of trifecta of motivations to scribble some thoughts down. One, I’ve got this shirt I bought a while back spurred by an advert on Instagram (!). Abraham Lincoln playing an electric guitar. Well, I love music, I love …
DUNE
Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in? Dune is a 1965 epicscience fiction novel by American author Frank Herbert [per Wikipedia]. I would not want to live in that world. Interstellar Feudalism, giant sandworms, lack of water, mean and scary people around most every corner, and so on and so on and so on. …
Ya Gotta Say Something
Wha…what…?!? Excerpt from a New York Times article last week, “I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions and duties provided for in the Graham Act [against Russia],” Mr. Trump said in the order. “I have submitted to the Congress a certification that the issuance of such a waiver at this time is …
Sharing Out
More on this interesting practice of sharing through blog writing. Curious to me that I also have a journal I write in from time to time, those most private of thoughts, tucked away, Curious to me the value and purpose I feel in sharing out, my struggles, my muse, and almost everywhere in between, Almost …
