How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts: Movie Review: Lincoln
http://wrytir.blogspot.com/2012/12/movie-review-lincoln.html
How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts. My ideas are my own. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Growing up in Illinois and loving history, I developed a strong admiration for Abraham Lincoln as a child. Still, nothing prepared me for the awesomeness of seeing Daniel Day Lewis on the big screen made up to look like the President, affecting that slight Kentucky twang, and showing just a bit of the angst the real Lincoln must have felt watching his union being torn in two.

When the truth is that they invaded us, they murdered us, and they raped us until we barely existed. Happy Thanksgiving."]. I'm not denying the point made, nor am I condoning the circumstances of "the first Thanksgiving." I know the history. We white people tend to suck in hindsight. What I *have* read (and written) hundreds of times each year in this...

How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts. My ideas are my own. Thursday, October 4, 2012. A Handwritten Note to Pinocchi-nose. I penned this note to my stepson tonight after his latest bout of struggling with truth. This life you are living is yours to create. Choices are yours to make. As your parents, we can only guide you in the right direction. Whether you acknowledge and accept it or not, understand that we adults have lived through the things you are now experiencing. What have we learned? It...

How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts. My ideas are my own. Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Tonight I walked out of the garage and around the corner to toss a bag Into the trash can and passed through the Mother of Charlotte's Parka of spiderwebs. Steeling myself I completed my duty and again rounded the corner wondering upon which pass Charlotte camped out on my neck or shoulder or toe. To my left, trotting along and coming toward me is a middle-aged fox - not a baby and not yet(? Queen of Spain Blog.

http://wrytir.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-new-sprint.html
How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts. My ideas are my own. Sunday, August 24, 2014. The “New” Sprint. If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve possibly read my latest saga with our local telecom giant. My wife and I had unlimited data for many years. On January 30, Kerstin was finally eligible for an upgrade and could replace that cracked screen she had carried around for 10 months. Like the Staff of Sauron every two miles. Duped is the kindest word I could conjure to describe the situation. Given the...

How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts: Who's your Dunbar now?
http://wrytir.blogspot.com/2013/01/whos-you-dunbar-now.html
How to Boil Water and Other Random Thoughts. My ideas are my own. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Who's your Dunbar now? Who are your “150”. Here’s your Tuesday exercise. I read an article in December shared by a friend on Facebook. The author interviewed a medical professional – psychiatrist, psychologist, I no longer recall – about the capacity of the human brain to maintain meaningful relationships with other humans as applied, of course, to online behavior. Was the well known Dunbar number. Using Facebook...
