In Me I Trust
God is opposed to the proud and gives grace to the humble. So it isn't surprising that the world's top expert on Top Experts says that the most trustworthy experts are the most humble. Hubris and arrogance goeth before the fall. Sometimes it takes awhile, but an inability to be self-critical is always a ticking time bomb. This interview is about financial experts, but applies to all of us:How can we nonexperts test our own hunches? Listen to yourself talk to yourself. If you're being...
Trillions of dollars!
The federal government is spending money so fast, trillions and trillions of new spending and bailouts, that a billion dollars is beginning to sound like pocket change. Granted, a dollar isn't a lot of money, but then a minute isn't a lot of time either... yet the New Testament is barely a billion minutes old.
For all you moms!
A Touchy-Feely Running Story
So, Saturday morning Ted, Steve, Mark and I took off for a little 23 mile run (that was my sales pitch anyway). Steve said he could only go part way, claiming that he had a life or something. We ran over the river (on an ancient dilapidated footbridge) and through the woods, down to the Sundial Bridge (where Steve turned back), up to the Fisherman's trail by Keswick Dam and headed back home by (mostly) another way.On the return to Sundial we left Mark where Steve had left us as Ted and I...
20,000 miles! Woo-hoo!
That's like running to the moon and back 0.04 times!(see my running stats in the right hand column).
Physical Fitness + Nature Time = Smart & Steady
I'll bet this also applies to middle-age adults and senior citizens:Last month, Harvard researchers reported in The Journal of School Health that the more physical fitness tests children passed, the better they did on academic tests. The study, of 1,800 middle school students, suggests that children can benefit academically from physical activity during gym class and recess.A small study of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder last year found that walks outdoors appeared to...
When I was a boy...
So you don't believe that when I was a boy I had to walk 5 miles through the snow and broken glass uphill both ways to a one-room unheated schoolhouse?Here's proof:Today kids want Wiis and Gameboys and stuff for their birthdays. When I was a boy, this was cutting edge toy-dom:
We're Out of McNuggets! Call 911! (seriously)
Key Excerpts from Today's Police Log:Told McDonald's was out of Chicken McNuggets after paying for a 10-piece, a local woman called 911.Three times."I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," Goodman told police."Goodman maintained the attitude 'this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency,'" the report states.Goodman's 10-piece selection has 460 calories and 29 grams of fat.
