A Book for the Worst Sellers List. Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. I finally finished the book destined for the Worst Sellers list. What can one expect of a reference work only for linguists interested in the Uto-Aztecan language family? My first book ( Morsels for the Mind. Did much better: it made the Best Giveaway list, my wife says. Actually, Morsels. Uto-Aztecan: A Comparative Vocabulary. Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Wife and Myself.

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: January 2010

Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. Those pointing to a University of Idaho vs. a Harvard education are putting way too much faith in education. I know many Harvard graduates and many Idahoans and see no difference in intellectual capacities. So he’s not smarter than that? Amazing. And then they say Palin is not smart enough? So someone whose big-government policies are crippling the job-producers (small businesses) in this highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression is smarter?

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: My Musicals on Stage

http://anecdotes2antidotes.blogspot.com/2013/02/doing-my-musicals-in-community-theater.html

My Musicals on Stage. Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. I recently realized a new definition of courage: community theater. Being on stage, blinded by lights, without a cue or clue of one’s lines, is such an adrenalin rush! It is high risk adventure, yet perfectly safe, physically. One’s dignity is at risk, but who can manage maintaining much of that through life anyway? Is the enjoyment for the audience worth the work? When do you find time to write them? Do you do them for the money? Commun...

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: November 2009

http://anecdotes2antidotes.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. If violinists play Saint-Saëns violin concertos with a musical eloquence that nearly transcends mortal experience, or if gardeners produce flowerbeds of similar affect on beholders, should the rest of us squeak the strings or blight the blossoms, and afflict the masses with our meager imitations of the masters? Why can’t green-thumbed people be like that—a little more rare instead of everybody trying to be one? Somebody should have to do it (it seems to me).

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: When I Grow Up ... and It Could Happen Any Time

http://anecdotes2antidotes.blogspot.com/2013/02/when-i-grow-up-and-it-could-happen-any.html

When I Grow Up . and It Could Happen Any Time. Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. When I Grow Up—and It Could Happen Any Time. I finally decided what I want to be when I grow up. When will I grow up, you ask? We’ll call it done at the undertaking where speakers undertake to say nice things about me (hopefully). Until then, I want to be a mountain man. No, not like the buckskin-clad outdoorsmen with muzzle-loader and traps, but like … well … me. Besides, what is a mountain man? Do I trap beaver?

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: How I Love the Rural Rockies

http://anecdotes2antidotes.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-love-rural-rockies.html

How I Love the Rural Rockies. Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. How I Love the Rural Rockies. Most who grow up in big cities like big cities, but not me. I grew up in Honolulu and Los Angeles, yet I like this small town amidst mountains and good people. I recently visited LA, and couldn’t get out fast enough. I slept in the hills above the city the night before, had time to comb ALL. Even desolate desert is nice after LA. I don’t, and that’s okay; we both like ice cream. Visiting LA, I had to...

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: Charm and Selling

http://anecdotes2antidotes.blogspot.com/2013/02/charm-and-selling.html

Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. Some people have charm; the rest of us get through life as best we can. First impressions are important in selling. You have to get to know the rest of us. As a 10-year-old paper boy in Los Angeles, I delivered the newspapers faithfully every day. Other than this drive-by biker missing a few throws onto a roof or two, I was doing a good job. One Saturday I tried my hand at selling new accounts to the houses between the ones I threw papers at every day. My dad...

Anecdotes as Antidotes by brian d. stubbs: The Marathon

http://anecdotes2antidotes.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-marathon.html

Miscellanea from the mind of brian d stubbs:. My daughters, Shana and Sheila, and my good friend, Kline Carroll, all decided to do the Huff-to-Bluff Marathon (May 2012) and asked me if I would do it with them. What have I got to lose—other than life, use of a limb, or pride? For the first marathon, I prepared diligently :. 15 miles on Mondays, 12 Wednesdays, 18 or 20 on Fridays, with short 6-mile runs the days between, for two months. I’ve read that many trainers have tossed out the carbohydrate-lo...
