Hi folks, This blog has been a real boon to me, as it has brought me closer to my family of origin. For instance, my 'Bro' Trevor, was always a mystery to me, but now I understand that he sees the World in a different way. I live my life, largely, via logic circuits, whilst Trevor seems to understand how people feel. I have had a number of uncomplimentary names in my life, one of which was Genghis Khan, and I ...

A Tee Shirt’s Eye View Of The World And Talking About Things That You Shouldn’t Talk About
Hi folks, Display appears to be a constant characteristic of mating behavior in most species, probably even in bacteria on a chemical level, for all I know. In humans, such display comes in some bizarre formats. These formats vary from generation to generation, with long skirts or short skirts, tuxedos, ironmongery or Birkenstocks, and sometimes even tee-shirts. The one example of tee-shirt display that I ... Read more
United Airlines Were On Time And They Didn’t Break Our Ukelele, But They Could Work On Seat Design
Hi folks, We're back from the wedding in Hawaii, very jet lagged, but happy. All the United Airlines flights were on time and the staff were friendly and kind, and they didn't break any of our luggage. I loved the YouTube video about United Airlines breaking a Taylor guitar, because it demonstrates that the 'little guy' can fight back against major corporations, and their tendency towards indifference for their ...

Reduce Your Risk Of Premature Death By Having Your Aorta Scanned For Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Or Your Parent’s, Or Your Grandparent’s Aortas
Hi folks, Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is more common than you might think, and I suspect that the majority of AAA-induced deaths go undiagnosed, based on my experience with the thing. I found mine in the nick of time, and only because of my study of body awareness combined with a veterinary medical training. Two of my three sons had an AAA scan, which is carried out by ultrasound, takes about 15 ... Read more
What Do You Do When You See One Of Those Subtle Signs Sent By The Universe?
Hi folks, Every now and then the Universe will send you a subtle sign, and you can take note or treat it as a SEP Field (Someone Else's Problem - The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy). I suspect that your response will be conditioned by your general level of awareness combined with behavioral conditioning derived from the delicate mix of your genome with your environment, including the effects of any ...

Be Good To Yourself On The Way Up Because You Will Meet Yourself Again On The Way Down
Hi folks, I must admit that I never really did understand people too well, as they are never quite what they seem. My Mom would always tell us to watch what they do, as opposed to listening to what they say, which is sage advice. Human personalities vary like the sea in Hawaii, some appearing to be clear as crystal, others are more murky or opaque, and yet others are so choleric that they seem to be ... Read more
It Seems To Help To Keep Your Head Up High For Endurance Running
Hi folks, I must admit that I find running challenging to say the least, especially long runs such as my coach proscribed 16-miler in the Hawaii heat yesterday afternoon. As I approach taper for the Lake Placid Ironman, my workouts become increasingly long, but this year I feel stronger than in 2011, so we'll see what we get. The thing about Ironman races is that you can hope for whatever you like, ... Read more
Swimming, Like Sex, Benefits From Technique, Conditioning And Love Of The Sport
Hi folks, A healthy life is all about healthy appetites, for food, love, exercise, intellectual challenge and spiritual contentment. This is why I love Ironman training. The consistent exercise associated with this great sport keeps me fit, is good for my brain, physical health, especially as I age (69 tomorrow), and apparently for my sex life. Boy, who would want to miss all of those benefits? ... Read more
