A Boomer’s Point-of-View: The ONLY Thing I Control is What I Eat for Breakfast
Lately, a lot of things have been going on in my life. And, my ability to influence them – aka control them – is pretty much ZILCH. What a surprise.

Social Media Social Good: Nothing Ain’t Worth Nothin’ No More #eBay #Collecting

Moral Question of the Week: Do You Rescue (Your Loved Ones)?
This is a tough question because like most moral questions, there are nuances to it. For those familiar with AA and Al-Anon, the idea of rescuing a loved one is front and center. IF your loved one is an adult the general thinking is that rescuing = enabling. However, when do we stop “rescuing” our children? When do they begin to “own” their own actions? Of course I do not mean life and death situations, but forgetting to do homework? Do YOU do it for them?

I also fully understand my oldest friend, who declared ever since he was a young adult that he didn’t want to have children.
