The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer: Trump's Truth
http://mayhop.blogspot.com/2015/07/trumps-truth.html
The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer. Thursday, July 23, 2015. When I was trying to understand why Donald Trump, one of the seventeen, or by now eighteen, Republican presidential candidates would do and say the things he's, well, doing and saying, it occurred to me that he is simply Not Being a Politician. What The Donald is saying is the truth: Trump's Truth. Trump knows exactly what he is doing. But, what do I know? Or 2) he has an alternative motive. THE 2016 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT.

The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer: The Truth Is
http://mayhop.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-truth-is.html
The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. The truth is most people lie but they will lie about it and say they don't. No one ever wants to admit that they lie because, well, liars are bad people; everybody know that. If you were to ask a room full of people "who among you never tells lies," I would bet my 401K that most people would raise their hands, because nobody wants to admit that they are bad people.

http://mayhop.blogspot.com/2015/07/seven-degrees-of-lying.html
The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Nine Reasons for Lying. How observant are you? Did you happen to notice in the prior post The Truth Is. That there were ten people on the right side of the room but only nine people raised their hands when asked "Who among you never tells a lie? That's me with the fly on my head. I didn't raise my hand because I'm a liar. But I only lie when the need arises. Otherwise, I have no problem telling the truth. This is when a person feels the nee...

The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer: Something to be Desired
http://mayhop.blogspot.com/2015/07/something-to-be-desired.html
The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Something to be Desired. And then it hit me. Oh, hello there. You caught me in the middle of a thought. My friend had said something that I took as a negative comment - "Your cartoons leave something to be desired"-. And then a lightbulb turned on in my head; possibly I misunderstood my friend. Maybe she didn't dislike my cartoons after all. How do you take a negative comment? Can drawings suck and thoughts hit? See what I mean? Wouldn't "I'm u...

The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer: I Cannot Tell a Lie
http://mayhop.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-cannot-tell-lie.html
The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer. Sunday, July 19, 2015. I Cannot Tell a Lie. Ever since six-year-old George Washington cut down his father's favorite cherry tree and then, when confronted, said "I cannot tell a lie," the pressure has been on us early-American descendants to follow George's example: always tell the truth. But the truth is that cherry-tree story is not true. Are you happy now? You don't have to be such a stickler with the truth, do you? Bad if the end result is good? Due to some not ...

http://mayhop.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The Ramblings of an Aging Baby Boomer. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. If you had told me, when I was thirty-five, that someday I would have a drawer dedicated to just my pills, I would have laughed you right out of the house. I have always been extremely averse to taking pills. No chemicals in my body. No thank you. But then a funny thing happened on the way to today. I got old. But, instead of getting my point about people refusing to accept certain truths in life, he said, "What's wrong with that? The an...
