If you pay close attention - and I do, you will see the Dallas Cowboys always get national TV coverage.
Here’s the playbook on national games: three every Sunday; one every Monday and occasionally on Thursdays. Only 25% of all teams will be seen by football watching America during an average NFL week.
Thanksgiving is a day NFL football fans plan [...]
The current financial crisis has me scratching my head as the details unravel. I’m not an economist, and I get easily lost trying to follow them. I searched my life’s experiences to help me understand.
When I had my sign business, I sold mostly to other businesses. Businesses always need signs, and they need them when they [...]
Two recent events have me convinced further how our lives are interconnected.
During my walk yesterday, I came across a woman’s purse on the sidewalk with the usual contents: phone, wallet, makeup. I knocked on the closest home’s door. The lady inside said it was her purse and had forgotten about it.
On my walk today, I approached a guy [...]
Today marks one month since I lost my job to the current economic swan dive. “Lost my job” is applicable because that was how it seem to go. Like a set of keys you just had that “are around here somewhere” but refuse to be found.

It didn’t seem to matter that mortgage giants were making loans for people woefully unable to pay them back. All that did matter was [...]
During the primary, I changed my registration from a R to a D. I did so to vote against Hilliary Clinton. That’s no way to vote, but I didn’t want to miss my chance.
I’ve been a R since I first registered but for no real reason. It’s time now for me to switch back. Why? [...]
“Develop a flawless technique and place yourself at the mercy of inspiration.”
I’d like the credit for this gem, but I’m quoting a print artist quoting a Asian mentor. This is as good as it gets as a reference.

My wife, Lyn kept it simple. She wanted to travel to Vietnam to see our son and his wife.
And she wanted to ride an elephant. This is were Cambodia came in.
We worried about what she would eat while there. She actually loved the French breads; that heavy black coffee called cafe da and the national dish – noodle soup [...]
