The Tide has Turned5/13/2021 I came across this quote from Dr. Strangelove: "Mr. President, if I may speak freely, the Russkie talks big, but frankly, we think he's short of know how. I mean, you just can't expect a bunch of ignorant peons to understand a machine like some of our boys. And that's not meant as an insult, Mr. Ambassador" That was U.S. Air Force General Buck Turdgeson speaking to the President of the United States. The movie was made in 1963. But it looks like the Russians are beating us in Cyber Hacking. It's time to pay attention.

Size of Commitment5/5/2021 Years ago I worked in an office with a young guy who had quite a large belly for someone his age. The first day of work after New Year's he came to me an announced. "I'm going on a diet" I asked what kind of diet. "I"m switching to Lite Beer," he said. I laughed. Then it became evident that he was serious. That was the size of his commitment. I'll let you guess whether or not his diet was a success. So that's my message for today: The Size of Your Commitment matters.

William Shatner as Hamlet5/2/2021 Some people have encouraged me to be a Comedian. I decided not to go that route. But if I was a Comedian, and I did impressions, I would like to do William Shatner practicing to play the role of Hamlet. Imagine how many different ways he could say "To Be or Not To Be"

Redneck Double Header5/2/2021 I had a Redneck Double Header today--got to work with my tractor--AND my chainsaw!  My tractor is a little newer than this one-My property is full of a plant called Russian Olive, which was planted in this part of Connecticut in the 1930s by the Civil Conservation Corps as a way to fight erosion. It worked. Russian Olive is not native to this region, and it flourishes to this day without natural enemies, so the plant is very invasive. It's also ugly. I've been trying to get rid of it on my property for 20 years. You can cut it back--and it laughs at you! The only way to get rid of it is to dig it up--that's what I was doing today

Sci-Fi Book Idea4/24/2021 Here's a free idea for someone wanting to write a Sci-Fi book and subsequent movie: Combine Total Recall with The Masters Tournament. Remember in Total Recall that a customer could go into the Cyber Travel Agency and have a brain implant that gave them a memory of a vacation? How about getting an implant that lets you think you won the Masters Tournament this year? How much would guys pay for that implant?

Prince Phillip4/19/2021 I'm not big on the whole concept of Royalty. The Declaration of Independence is more in line with my philosophy of life; you know, the whole Everyone is Created Equal part? But my wife did convince me to watch The Crown. The series was very well done, and my favorite character was Prince Phillip, who got deliver the wise guy jokes, including the best line in the series: Queen (getting off the phone): Princess Margaret is experiencing a crisis! Prince Phillip: Oh, is she running short of tonic? Who knows how accurate the show was, but I hope he said that in real life.

Horse of Your Foot4/18/2021 Did you ever have a horse step on your foot? I really hurts. I'm told that horse's have almost 360 degree eyesight, so when they kick you or step on your foot, it's on purpose. Even if they act innocent--Who Me?  Actual photo of horse looking innocent
