Hi Friends…Bmichael here!

Say, if you’re like me you’re probably pretty darned tired of all those social website misunderstandings and conflicts that occur all too frequently these days. They start small but escalate quickly into major conflicts and before you know it, they go viral on YouTube and CNN.

Here’s an example:

Member A posts the following discussion : Member B is a d**khead.

Member C texts Member B: A is doggin’ you on the site. Check it out,…

Naked was I

Yesterday, my wife and I went to see "Les Mis," the movie version of the highly successful musical based on the novel, "Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo. I remember reading the original book sometime in my growing up days when I attended the French parochial school. It was a mortality lesson that I never forgot.

A man is imprisoned for 19 years for stealing…

Sausage was made

They say that two thing you never want to see are: sausage being made or legislation enacted by the government. Well one of the processes happened over the holidays as both houses of Congress passed legislation to prevent the "fiscal cliff" from happening. …

New Years Eve Resolutions

Most people have made them in their lifetimes. I quit smoking cold turkey on New Year's Eve, Midnight, December 31, 1982. The resolution took, as I used sunflower seeds to sooth my craving for a smoke. I have made it to 73 yeas of age so far, but I do need an inhaler for my infrequent bouts of bronchial asthma. Who knows if the smoking cessation helped?

Other…

A New Year's wish for my friends

To leave the old with a burst of song

To recall the right and forgive the wrong;

To forget the thing that binds you fast

To the vain…

Walking away from work

In happier economic times, many folks reached a day when they were able to walk away from work due to a decision that they made. I made mine 15 years ago during this same year end period. After a 32 year career with the General Electric Company, I requested a retirement offer at age 57 and got my wish.

As it was, I had burned the mortgage on my suburban…

It's still there.

I ventured out on Christmas eve, something I usually don't do. I had an objective (to try and find something specific), but I realized later I had a secondary objective. I wondered if I could find the Christmas spirit in its deepest sense—not just people being transactionally pleasant to each other because it was in their self-interest monetarily. I needn't have worried. My first stop at a store revealed an older man leaving the building I was going to. He was standing there holding the door… Continue

Art imitates life

Watched (or listened to) Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" with everyone from Patrick Stewart to Jonathan Winter in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Having followed politics the past year, the resonances and parallels to current times were undeniable. I've come to the conclusion that we have way too many people playing that Scrooge role in real life.

Two pledges to end US fiscal problems

Fighting over money is probably as old as the first time it was used as an instrument to replace bartering. Some organizations have carried the fight to the extreme, as factions grew to take one side or another of the "butter-guns" issue or the "social services-taxes" issue that consumes America today.

Do we have a revenue problem or a spending problem in…

Calling all angels

Dear Jesus, the world you tried to save is a mess. But how much could you do, as you were a victim yourself? Nobody would listen to a simple message of "peace on earth and good will toward men." It's seems to be a lot more satisfying to hate people who don't agree with you and try to kill them if you can or even die trying. We have entire nations dedicated to the…
