With very little respect, I feel I must say that some of this self-help stuff is a bunch of lunch meat. Maybe I shouldn’t be too harsh. After all, if it helps some people, it must have some value, right?
Nope, I can’t do it.
Caveat: I haven’t read one of those books that says happiness, success, and riches are a choice. I’ve only caught snippets of some folks talking on the…
I was blog browsing this fine Friday evening, when I saw a link to Al Gore’s recent book at Amazon. It sparked a memory. A few months ago I got an email from Al encouraging me to check it out, but I was disappointed to find it wasn’t available in my preferred format: ebook. Curious, I wandered over to ereader.com this evening to see if my favorite tech savvy politician was now…
As expected, those pesky politicians from Michigan moved their primary up to January 15th. What makes them think they deserve to go before Florida?

I haven’t given it up…
This weekend we had family over for dinner on a night when I was trying something new, which is about as adventurous as I get these days. The food and wine were consumed with enthusiasm, and I felt really good.
It turns out we were fortunate to have leftovers. I tried something new again this evening, this time with just the wife and kids, and it was almost a complete disaster. The only one that…
Newsvine – Study: Humans’ DNA Not Quite So Similar
People are less alike than scientists had thought when it comes to the billions of building blocks that make up each individual’s DNA, according to a new analysis.
“Instead of 99.9 percent identical, maybe we’re only 99 percent (alike),” said J. Craig Venter, an author of the study — and the person whose DNA…
