Microsoft finds that a 4-day workweek benefits the company as well as its people. This is an auspicious development. And needful in my estimation. See link below: https://wonderfulengineering.com/microsoft-tried-the-four-day-workweek-sees-40-increase-in-productivity/#

Tutti Frutti
“Got a gal.. name Daisy… She almost drives me crazy!” The one and only => Little Richard! Not extolling him for it, but Little Richard was flat dang crazy before it was fashionable. There are probably less than ten or so musicians in the 1950’s who truly helped define rock n’ roll. Little Richard wasContinue reading “Tutti Frutti”

Computer Animation
A footnote here as accords my last Toy Story 4 post: As I confessed in that last post, I am behind the times. Perhaps too much so… I don’t know. And I don’t watch all that much TV either. Modern media seems to be so pre-possessed with the conditioning and indoctrination of the masses, thatContinue reading “Computer Animation”
“To Infinity – And Beyond!”
Yo! Woody! I realize I’m WAY behind the curve. I am, indeed, behind the times a tad (possibly motley understatement). That being said, I just have to comment on Toy Story 4, which the wife and I just recently watched on demand TV (indeed a rowdy date night for us 😏). What a MAGNIFICENT pieceContinue reading ““To Infinity – And Beyond!””
Too Much EMI/RFI
We are exposed to entirely too much electromagnetic and radio frequency radiation. Have you ever observed how the birds seem to be more averse to areas with cell phone towers and high voltage power lines? I keep worrying about the bees disappearing so catastrophically (EMI/RFI?). Not only a horrible tragedy but a pervasive threat toContinue reading “Too Much EMI/RFI”

ELO – Livin’ Thing :: A Metaphor For Me
Music:: Intentional or unintentional => Parable. Allegory. Metaphor. A grand chemerical fractal. Rock n’ roll can be appreciated on another level as a metaphor (and sometimes parable/allegory). Another great reason OLD SCHOOL rock n’ roll blesses my soul so much. Our walk with God => it’s a Livin’ Thing! Our faith, being tested and exercisedContinue reading “ELO – Livin’ Thing :: A Metaphor For Me”
And We Shall Be Received Into Glory
Be JOYFULLY re-assured in God’s ubiquitous presence. Quash the anxiousness constantly assailing your soul’s flank. God is intimately abiding with us… always and forever. He is forever inside of us and outside of us. The Holy Spirit abides. Ministering angels do warfare all around us. Though it can often seem like God is busy elsewhere,Continue reading “And We Shall Be Received Into Glory”
Ancient History Being Destroyed
Photo: “In 2018, archaeologists bathed part of a Guatemalan forest in laser beams to reveal the profile of a hidden, ancient metropolis.” Climate Change is destroying our ability to explore the past. Modern technology may assist.

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used Too
I’m talking about Westerns – a previous staple in the American diet. Early movies, as well as early American television strongly majored in the Western genre. People were absolutely enamored with Westerns back in the day (more-so the 1950’s, early 60’s). Tales of the Wild West and cowboys (mostly depicted as the prototypical American hero)Continue reading “They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used Too”
Chapter 2: Jack and Chuck Debate Westerns
“I have a feeling that when he stops whittling… something’s going to happen.“ – the character, Cheyenne, in “Once Upon A Time In The West.” Author’s Note: Jack and Chuck are best friends. Early middle-aged and now both single after marriages, they work at the same technical support desk for a major technical firm inContinue reading “Chapter 2: Jack and Chuck Debate Westerns”
Cosmic Jack-O’Lantern

Calisthenics Are Good
Slightly perturbed by, I guess, just general circumstance… I was being chided pretty rudely by the wife for: probably legitimate stupidities on my part. Trying to remain calm and not retort, I was wiggling my toes (both feet, kinda’ serial fashion): WIFE: WHY are you wiggling your toes? JCT: I’m doing my daily calisthenics. 🏃🏻♂️😎
US dollar: Russia, China, EU are motivated to shift away from USD
“The greenback’s status as the world’s major reserve currency could come under threat, as a group of countries seeks to undermine its importance, according to Anne Korin of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.” http://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/31/de-dollarization-russia-china-eu-are-motivated-to-shift-from-using-usd.html
16 Tons and Whaddya’ Get
“Saint Peter, doncha’ call me cause I can’t go…” The below is an informative post. It shows how incredibly egregious money printing has become. Possibly or possibly not, might a few silver coins stuck away buy any protection in the future? Do precious metals really provide any insurance? Who knows? Time will tell, I guess.Continue reading “16 Tons and Whaddya’ Get”
This Life Is A Metaphor
The older I get, the more I see metaphor in so many things. Small things. Large things. Details. Trivial daily tasks. Just so many things seem to take on larger, richer, and more expressive meaning in my life. Now maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be so much wisdom to be gleaned evenContinue reading “This Life Is A Metaphor”
I Am Continually With You
God promises to continually be with us. Though we sometimes feel so alone, we need to better *grok* that God is always here with us continually guiding, protecting, and blessing us. From Psalms, Rabbi Schneider reassures (short video): youtu.be/8m6smvlSoJM
