Finding the Good in Everyday Life
First Betty White, then Bob Saget. And now I wake up this morning to the news that Louie Anderson has died. Not a great start to 2022. Might as well try to laugh. So here are five of my favorite Louie Anderson moments. I know others will have a different list, with things from projects [...]
It’s the recent passing of Betty White that made me think of doing this post. Boy, I really hate that she died. A long time ago, seems like a lifetime ago, I did standup comedy for a few years. I obviously wasn’t very good or successful at it; otherwise, I’d still be doing it. Well, [...]
So we’re almost to another Christmas, another end of another year. It’s not unusual to spend some time reflecting on stuff this time of year, and that’s kind of what I’ve been doing. One of my 5 brothers, Dave, died 6 years ago from leukemia. Seems like yesterday, and seems like forever ago, both at [...]
I think one of the best things a person can do to improve their life is to give away their money.

I wasn't planning to do a post today, because the real world has me extremely busy lately. But I saw this and thought it deserved a post of its very own. This little guy in the Polo shirt is exactly what I need. I need him cheering me on at work. I need him cheering [...]
There are a lot of good new movies out there that I’d like to see. And I will see them, someday. Thing is, so many of them seem kind of heavy in subject matter and I just have to be in the right mode to watch 2 hours of that. That being said, with the [...]
The one TV show that I almost never miss is CBS Sunday Morning. Mostly because I like to know what’s going on in the world, but I don’t like the dark feeling that you’re left with after watching the regular evening news, and definitely not the hopelessness that you get from cable news. And there [...]
These two videos of little kids playing soccer are just sensational. If only we all lived life the way these kids are living it in these clips. The Hugger First up, this video of one little girl getting really upset when the ball is taken away from her. Another player decides it's time for a [...]
