A Panoptic Life: April 2009
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2009. The Intersection of Death, and the Birth of The Autism Friendly Alliance. Today I took my kids to school. Their schools are next door to each other, within a neighborhood, and getting into the neighborhood is like dodging the death train with morning traffic. Yes, thank gosh for the traffic cops. Uh, some reassurance that I am not going to be hit either broad-side or head on, for starters.). Hearing the same cop shouting, "Awwww! Get shouted at. (Ironically.). And this was when I ...

A Panoptic Life: November 2008
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. Tumblers Shifting, to Unlock Life's Safe. About Well, let's see. Oh I know! It was in the spring of 2004 I started a book called. And I made a book jacket for the book I had not yet written. I had done this before, actually. And I always got a kick out of it when my sons would show my "book" to their friends. I would always come in and interject, "It's not a real book yet! This is a motivational tool! See, open it up and you'll see it's about something else.". See, an ISBN is ...

A Panoptic Life: February 2009
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. Operation K-Mart and the Theory of Ideological Relativity. So, I have this friend, and he said something funny to me. Essentially, he was telling me a story whereby his opinion or idea was blown off, and he said it was like Operation K-Mart. I got it right away. He was discounted. Dismissed. Dissed. And, probably, a little bit pissed.). I had to admit, I can relate more than a little bit. I told him that I have my own catch-phrase, too. No one ever listens to me.". Someone else...

A Panoptic Life: December 2011
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 2, 2011. The Underdog Hero of Your Life. Just a few days ago, I had a conversation with my mother. (This is always fun.). No, Mom, you don't understand. I haven't written anything. In that book in months. And do you even KNOW how long it's been since I've even posted a blog? Yes, I know, Dear. That's usually called 'depression'. .Are you depressed? Typically when my mom asks a question that I would consider "ridiculously obvious" I laugh, but this time, I didn't have the energy. Some rea...

A Panoptic Life: Wild Bill Suda's Birthday Party 3/12- Freebies for the whole Korner
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2010/03/wild-bill-sudas-birthday-party-312.html
Thursday, March 11, 2010. Wild Bill Suda's Birthday Party 3/12- Freebies for the whole Korner. Listen, Kid. Forget everyone else. Do what YOU want to do. You'll be worm food soon enough, so do what you want to do.". I can't remember when Grandpa said that to me, because it could have been once, or it could have been a hundred times. He died in 2003 but sometimes I can hear his voice still ringing in my ears, helping me when I'm not sure of what path to take. If not, that' cool, too. But either way, let's...

A Panoptic Life: October 2008
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. What Will Make You Happy? Who, in addition to some kind comments about my post. The Risk of Transparancy. When I get in "perfectionist mode", risk becomes all about what I can lose. It's hard to break the perfectionism habit and learn that allowing imperfection actually allows room for growth (which is the gain). Do you ever get in "perfectionist modes"? And if so, how do you deal with that? Ok, so I've got 15 minutes to blog about. About. What was it again? Falling into". T...

A Panoptic Life: August 2008

Wednesday, August 6, 2008. The Ignorance of Genius. You are so smart! I think you are really bright.". You should be proud that you are so intelligent.". May I make a confession? I don't deserve the credit for being smart. Ok, I know I'm intelligent or whatever. But I really don't deserve a compliment simply for being smart. You really make me laugh. You are really insightful. I really enjoy your company. Your writing is intelligent. You are so smart to put that in a way that I could relate to. I am lear...

A Panoptic Life: June 2008
http://apanopticlife.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. Origami, DNA and CafePress. That's a Plug, you know.). Mom, my teacher was mad at me for asking to go to the bathroom each time I had to go, but what would happen if I left without asking? She wouldn't know where I was, and she wouldn't like that either, now would she? Ok Tell me if I'm crazy. You seem perfectly clear to me! The producer said to me. (More than once.). The email specifically mentioned letting the organizer know if we had any hidden talents. She said she might even w...
