FIXING PROBLEMS? START AT THE BOTTOM

Fixing problems begin with a strong identification. For example, the car rides lumpy and low in the back right? You may have a flat tire. That’s a problem that needs fixing.

BETTER MAN FOR WHO, FOR WHAT?

If someone asks you to be a better man, not their Best Man, what do you say? What do you do? You could agree to make a better effort. Or you could let it go. Either way, you’ve got a problem. Then what?

JOE ROGAN QUOTES? SAY IT AIN’T SO JOE

Joe Rogan looks suspiciously like the sort of man who told Neil and everyone else to get a haircut in the 60’s. ‘We don’t need your type hanging around our town making noise.’ And here we are with Neil’s noise ever since. Maybe Joe could tell him to cut his sideburns? Who is this Joe? […]

MALE FRIENDSHIP? WHO DECIDES YOUR BEST FRIEND FOREVER

For ‘male friendship’ I searched for ‘old pic of best friends.’ What showed up? Images of women friends. If that’s surprising, then you need to know more about male friendship. It’s different than female friendship. How different?

GOOD INTENTIONS START TOMORROW

Why do good intentions pave the way to hell? Because of the follow up. More precise, it’s the lack of follow up. Say the right thing, then do the right thing and you stay out of hell. Does this sound right? Sounds like accountability to me. So why the gap between what is said and […]

OPTIONAL FRIENDSHIP: YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

An optional friendship depends on time and place. But it’s not your time or your place. Tell me if this sounds familiar: “I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to do anything, but in between my schedule, my plans, my obligations, my interests, my work, my obsessions, my fears, we should get together sometime.” […]

FRONT YARD LADY FRIENDS BEFORE THE SMOKE

A big reveal from the forest fires in Oregon is understanding the front yard. With a little help, all of the beauty of shrubbery would burn. Before the fires and smoke, when it was a ‘normal’ lockdown pandemic, the front yard was a place to host friends for lunch. More accurately, it was where my […]

FRIENDSHIP FEAR: WHAT DO THEY REALLY WANT?

Friendship fear doesn’t start early. If you’re watched toddlers in daycare, they’re not afraid of new people. It doesn’t start in the neighborhood either. The bigger concern for young kids are older kids pushing them around. Unless you grew up in a bully-free zone, which is a homeschooled only child living under strict rules of […]

BOSS MAN: WHEN THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON STOPS CARING

Boss man is an old term by now. Like Ram Rod, as in, “Who’s the Ram Rod of this operation,” it’s time has come and gone, like Rowdy Yates. Still, Boss man has power, whether you like it or not, whether it resonates or not. But, what is a real Boss Man? They come in […]

LASTING FRIENDSHIPS FROM ACQUAINTANCE TO UN-DITCHABLE

Try and remember the first lasting friendships outside your family that left an impression on you; think of someone before first grade. My early years were spent in a college town. My dad was a student with a wife, two kids, and another one born before he got his Bachelor’s.
