And if you know what song that is from, pat yourself on the back and give yourself +1 pt One of the things I do, is I try to enrich people’s lives with random knowledge. After all, you never know when Jeopardy might be calling, and you want to be prepared. We all know that … Continue reading “That’s Just Unconscious Knowledge”
Never Have I Ever
As 2024 comes to an end and I think about the year ahead, I’m thinking about things I haven’t done. Maybe 2025 will see me doing new things. I’ve never eaten a wrap. I’ve had burritos and enchiladas but never had a wrap. Nothing against them, just never made one and there were always other … Continue reading Never Have I Ever
Everybody Wang Chung Tonight !!!
It appears there will be a new job hitting the NFL soon. There are some jobs in the NFL that you might not know about. I didn’t know that every NFL team had dentists on the sidelines for game days. But that makes sense. While not employed by a team, there is a guy on … Continue reading Everybody Wang Chung Tonight !!!
The Thrill of Victory.
We all witnessed the disaster that was Break Dancing in The Olympics. Jeez …. Who could have predicted that? Um ….. ME !!!!! But I praise the higher powers for noting that Break Dancing in itself is NOT an Olympic sport and ruled it out of the 2028 Olympic Games. Did it deserve a 2nd … Continue reading The Thrill of Victory.
The Pain Sets In
It happened both slowly and all of a sudden. Sharp and piercing at first. Then I caught myself thinking - no big deal. For a brief moment I was calmed. That could have been a whole lot worse. Then the throbbing started. No - throbbing is too soft a word. Then the constant pounding started. … Continue reading The Pain Sets In

Sometimes I’m asked, “Jim, how do you come up with these truly remarkable and well thought ideas?” Well, I don’t know. Now, when I say I am “sometimes asked", I might not actually “be asked”, but I know the person wants to ask me this question, so I just take it for granted that the … Continue reading Simply Amazing
Suck It Up Buttercup
7:00 am and there I am - Physical Therapy again. The well wishes I’ve received from all of you asking how my shoulder is doing has been, well, overwhelming !!! I’m like Sheldon, working on my sarcasm. While doing my arm bike routine to wake my shoulder up, I had a few thoughts. See, here … Continue reading Suck It Up Buttercup
She’s On The List
Yes – I do have a list. And make no mistake – it’s a real list. And once on it – that person is on it. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen – but – if it does happen, then hey, they were on the list. My list is called, “People I Want … Continue reading She’s On The List
The Forgotten
One thing about 14 (soon to be 15) year old Charlotte – she is not a morning girl. This school year, she seems to have turned the page a little. She’s a bit more conversational as we ride to school in the morning, but mostly she enjoys the quiet time before heading into school. One … Continue reading The Forgotten
OK – Nobody panic.
It’s ok. It’s going to be all right. I hear myself saying this – and I know. I know it’s not ok. It is so NOT ok. There is every right to panic. I’ll try and stay calm. STAY CALM. If panic overtakes me – I’m doomed. Doomed I say. DOOMED. NO. NO. NO. NO. … Continue reading OK – Nobody panic.
