Two Sides of a Donkey: May 2009
http://twosidesofadonkey.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Have you ever noticed that when you put on a cape you immediately begin to swagger? Capes just don’t get trendy nearly often enough. If I wanted to go out a buy myself a cape this very afternoon, where would I go? Neither posh nor humble stores have a cape section. Where could I go to toss a satin cape over my shoulders and admire my reflection in the mirror? Even the Sears catalogue is devoid of capes. The next time you ...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Sunday, January 4, 2009. Not Much Stock in Bond. I dragged myself out on a totally frigid, snowy night to see the new James Bond film,. I haven’t missed seeing a Bond film since. Live and Let Die. Had me wallowing in laughter and popcorn back in the 1970’s. James seems to have traded in his personality for the. Actually had to be reloaded more often than his gun. The Man with a Golden Gun. Fail to arrive from that dodgy internet source? Instead o...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. I think our attention span is spiraling down into ever tinier fragments of time. Now I’m tired of this topic; I’m going to think about something else. What were those hockey scores? Has it started raining yet? I think I’ll make spaghetti for supper. No, wait. I was trying to turn my attention to the topic of span. Oh shoot. What was that topic again? Okay, now where was I? Now where was it I left my other sock? 8220;It ...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Gotta Love Those Earworms. Okay, it sounds more disgusting than it really is. They finally came up with a name for those maddening tunes that get stuck in your head and play over and over (and over and over…). They’re called earworms. They come knocking on the door of your brain completely unbidden:. Jesus Christ, Sooooperstar, do yoooouu think you’re what they saaaaay you arrrre? Earworms are vile creatures. They play...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Monday, August 9, 2010. Life in the Car. Do you ever wonder what your epitaph will say? Inevitably, something will be chiseled in granite. Unless you think about it ahead of time, you won’t be consulted on the last say you will ever have. Ideally, mine should chronicle my life in the car. It’s when I’m at my best. Dust in the Wind. Carry on My Wayward Son. Dust in the Wind. Laments on how ephemeral life really is, and. Carry on My Wayward Son.

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Saturday, January 22, 2011. Childhood Heroes - Then and Now. When I was a kid we had simple heroes - like the innocuous Porky Pig. He wore a regular looking jacket, a semi-formal red bow tie, and required no pants at all. What made Porky funny? He stuttered. Porky would. The hammer of political correctness would come smashing down. Porky would never fly today - even if he could be persuaded to put his pants back on. Right now the X-Men are pretty...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Saturday, April 24, 2010. Remember when BYOB meant Bring Your Own Booze or maybe Bring Your Own Beer - depending on how fiscally advanced your friends were? Now it’s way more boring. It means Bring Your Own Bag. Originally, BYOB was invented to help keep your buddies out of the poor house when you all wanted to get drunk together. The current purpose? Penny candy costs ten cents! Cloth bags would seem to be the ultimate solution. So… in...But sti...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Someone told me the other day that this is not a perfect world. Gee, I already. In fact, I’ve known it for a long time, at least a year or so. In the five decades prior to that I merely suspected it. What tipped me off? Well, it wasn’t any one. Event, just the culmination of a lot of. Events. That couch I paid $29.95 for on. Suitcase and took it with him when he moved in with the neighbours. Other hints: my. I began to ...

Two Sides of a Donkey: December 2008
http://twosidesofadonkey.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Saturday, December 20, 2008. The other day someone indicated that I was a “glass is half empty” kind of person - as if it was a BAD thing! Of course my glass is half empty! After decades of consumerism and self indulgence, I’m surprised to find that the level is only half way down! A glass that is half. Is suspicious. Maybe it was. Filled all the way to the top. But a half empty glass? That’s likely as good as it ever got! To be large and showy a...

Two Sides of a Donkey. What you see depends on your angle. Monday, April 20, 2009. How to Say No. Do you ever get asked to do things that, frankly, you just don’t want to do? If you answered that question with a “no,” keep surfing. For the rest of you normal people, I’ve come up with a few suggestions on how to say "no." You will have to figure out for yourself when and where to apply my time-tested strategies. Don’t lie about it. Just say “no”. Feign blindness. (Gets you out of a lot of stuff…). Say ...
