Senior Thinking: July 2005
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 02, 2005. So what is the Fourth of July? Mr B is fine, so is everyone else. My posts have really sucked lately. My head is somewhere else. I am leaving now for a week vacation, to Boy Scout camp, to renew myself, to set the compass properly. I promise some decent posts from that or at least that is my goal. But I sit here, on the eve of the fourth of July and I think about how lucky I am. How much I have depended on the sacrifices of my ancestors and people I do not even pretend to know.

Senior Thinking: December 2004
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 30, 2004. It is a rainy day today, has been for 4 days now. That usually gets me to thinking about the past and the future. Not that the present is gloomy. Not every day is a disaster, not every day is ahead warp 9, engage. Now of course, houses get dropped on the terrain like the world’s largest monopoly game, with the occasional hotel sprinkled in (there is no Park Place or Boardwalk where I live, mostly properties from St. James Place to North Carolina Ave. We probably live ...There...

Senior Thinking: The man and the Moon
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2005/05/man-and-moon.html
Saturday, May 28, 2005. The man and the Moon. Thanks to all that wrote. I am fine, just REALLY busy. It should slow down for next week, after that, who knows. I have always loved the moon. It really got going when my dad bought me a 50x telescope. Now this bad boy had one lens, 2 power settings. No drive motor, no tracking device. The lens really sucked for 50 power, so it was only really good for one thing, looking at the moon. I was all of 10 but I was the man that night. So I was reading a NASA brief ...

Senior Thinking: I need some advice
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2005/05/i-need-some-advice.html
Monday, May 09, 2005. I need some advice. The wifey and I are going to Palm Springs this Thursday. We have an empty spot in our agenda for Saturday. So I am asking you all what you think sounds like the most fun. I'll write about it next week. A Go to a movie. It will be like 97 degrees F there while we stay, a mid day movie may be just the ticket. B Take the tram to the top of Palm Springs Mountain. It will be 70 not 97 up there, the view is incredible, and we can eat and chill out of the heat. CA is a ...

Senior Thinking: June 2005
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2005. What would Buddha do? First off, my practice is consuming more of my time, that is a good thing. So I will only post once a week for now. To catch you up on Mr. B., well he got a nasty foxtail in his eye last week and scratched his eyeball up nicely. He is on meds that require him to leave his pupil almost wide open in his right eye. But his eye has healed and now we have the consequence of the treatment. The answer is simple. The Constitution allows religion, just not the acti...

Senior Thinking: whoz got skillz, yeah
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2005/05/whoz-got-skillz-yeah.html
Friday, May 06, 2005. Whoz got skillz, yeah. First off, thank you to all for all the comments recently. It was FUN to write that story and do it in comment order. I must tell you it was not as hard as you think which got me to thinking. Earlier this week I was watching the MTV and it really hit me that new generations always change names of things to help establish their identity. The people at Microsoft who invented spell-check must be going crazy. They too are being shuffled back into history. ...When ...

Senior Thinking: October 2004
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2004. Ray and John and George. I went and saw the movie Ray today. Say Oscars, not one, many. If not, we are robbed. Ray was a genius. This is not news. The portrayal is not a betrayal. It is not flattering. It just shows the truth and the truth is messy. In the end, it is a love story. Our love of surviving struggle, and for moments, achieving greatness. The goal was the result of the struggle. But the sounds of the men tell the tale to me. George never struggled. Daddy and grand...

Senior Thinking: Buy the premise
http://seniorthinking.blogspot.com/2005/06/buy-premise.html
Friday, June 10, 2005. My brother’s favorite phrase is:. Buy the premise, buy the punchline. The more I think about that, the more I think that is true. I was forced to blog about it when the other day while watching Newt Gingrich on Fox (yeah, I watch Fox, know your enemy). He was proclaiming how he and Hillary had developed this bill that would improve record keeping therefore saving 100,000 lives a year. It ticked me off. Those that want slow progression, if they add value by tempering the issue by st...
