A Movement Movement (Hand Edition)
I’m starting a movement around …movement. Unless someone already started it, and in that case, I’ll join and promote their movement movement. It might already be called “ergonomics.” I’m starting with focusing on my hands (and then my feet and then my back and… Continue Reading “A Movement Movement (Hand Edition)”
Use Better Words
Each year, Lake Superior State gives us a list of banished words. I’m usually in about 90% agreement. For example, at the end of 2023, they said we all need to stop using “GOAT”, “amazing”, “it is what it is” and about seven more.… Continue Reading “Use Better Words”
Podcast Efficiency (aka Podficiency TM)

Lawn Efficiency (Lawnficiency TM)

I thought to myself that might be fun and funny if I took the traditional… Continue Reading “The Annual Christmas Card Letter, Part 5”

Angry Old Man Discount Tire Edition
I’ll say it here. My 20-year-old daughter is cute, blonde, and tiny. I worry sometimes about how the world will treat her. So far, the world has been pretty good. But not so much yesterday. She lived through the most stereotypical chauvinistic treatment from… Continue Reading “Angry Old Man Discount Tire Edition”
The OTHER Male Pattern Baldness
If you’re male and you’ve reached the age of 40, half the Emails you get are from Hims or Keeps about thwarting hair loss. Each starts with a survey, asking questions like, “do you want to regrow your hair,” or, “do you want to… Continue Reading “The OTHER Male Pattern Baldness”

My oh my, where does the time go!?!?! My birthday was 47 days ago and I haven’t thanked the many contributors and participants, nor have I updated my Stuff I Want Page. Here’s my Blog entry fixing that. First, the Stuff I Want Page has been… Continue Reading ““I Love Don Week” and “Stuff I Want” Update”
