eThoughts : Just Beyond Projection, Part II
It was 1972, the year I turned 25, and inflation was afoot—at least in my small economic world. Though the year or two before, I could manage to live on five-dollars a day, I now had to have a budget of six-dollars a day. So, when I bought the car while traveling in France—a 1960 […]

eThoughts : Ahhh, Dissociation
Yeah, now that I’ve beat up on avoidance as a long-term strategy, let’s talk about the art of dissociation.

eThoughts : Legality and Stewardship
Part of the series It’s All Been Said Before™ (© 2006), a division of Book-In-A-Drawer Publications.™ Before leaving this line of thinking that has occupied the last few postings, I’m going to take another stab at it. Next time I’ll have to find something a little funnier to write about—too much seriousness seems to make […]
