[October 14, 2026] I first saw this AI-generated video on Asmondgold. By yesterday afternoon, it had garnered 15 million views since its original posting on September 24. For some reason, I liked it. And now it’s here for your enjoyment, too. This is a roughly 2-minute-16-second stylized video (posted by @IterIntellectus with the note that he asked Claude… Read More »
[October 12, 2026] Today, another of our favorite childhood stories that enthralled us: The Boy Who Cried Wolf. My interpretation of the story might just get my readers to pull that old book of Aesop’s Fables off the bookshelf and reread it. The story never gets old. The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a short fable about what… Read More »
[October 11, 2026] As a kid, I was always enthralled by stories. One of my favorites was (and still is) The Ant and The Grasshopper in Aesop’s Fables. I don’t know why I was so attracted to it; I still don’t. As everyone who reads my website articles knows, I use this space to show how to be… Read More »
[October 4, 2026] One of the realities of aging grandparents is that the number of times you will be with them is not a very big number, and that’s if everything goes well.

[September 29, 2026] I’m a sucker for a good news dog story. There’s a connection with this one. It involves a man going through an airport checkpoint line when a TSA German Shepherd unexpectedly jumps a barrier to get to him. My first thought was that the Shepherd was going to attack the man, but I was wrong. … Read More »
[September 26, 2026] Occasionally I watch videos of Abolitionist Rising folks who are arguing for the elimination of all abortion, regardless of excuse. I agree with them. Legal arguments to the side, killing the unborn is nothing short of killing, and when done, it is morally wrong. Most Americans reject a total legal ban on abortions, and the… Read More »
[September 23, 2026] Some folks will find a bit of humor in the fact that I did learn some things about manhood while growing up in the South. I gained all this knowledge despite my less-than-stellar school performance. I also had a serious lack of focus on those things that bored me (but were nevertheless important), and I… Read More »
[September 22, 2026] It is the human condition that you must have meaning in your life; for it is that very meaning that sustains you.
