I found this book interesting.

The End of Stress: A revolutionary new approach to a happier, healthier life   Andrew J Bernstein

stress

I have a friend that recommend these types of books. I grudgingly read them and I am surprised that they have value in them.

The main thesis of the book is that the problem of stress is not object things you are facing in life but how you are interpreting those things. An example in the book is of a traffic jam. Some people are waiting in the standstill and listening to music or audio books and others are steaming and angry. From the same situation there are two responses. … Continue reading

Perspective

The article below takes a somewhat different cut at where the great struggle for ideas is right now.

Like many, I have sensed a shift in the way people perceive things, a great change in perspective that usually is the harbinger of social change.

We had civil rights, slavery, isolationism and a number of constructs that required a new way of thinking to emerge.

I do believe we are seeing a change in thinking and the reason the left is going crazy is they are beginning to realize the world will not return to the old status quo. They have lost the concept high ground and only win with raw naked power.

I predict increasing turbulence.

Manly Men

Let’s face it. The Members of BDB which don’t have XX chromosomes are manly men. We stand apart. For us the Greek alphabet only has the one letter. The first one.

It was the International Day of Women on the 8th of March. Should not we celebrate on the 9th of March as Manly Man Day?

Book Club!

I have no idea how a book club works. But we should definitely do that. Here’s a pleasant book on ordinary life. Nevermind the title about statistics, this book is about things. I read it as an audiobook, but I suspect some of it is more clear in print.

Getting the Banned Back Together

My job (jobs) is (are) kind of cyclical. Back into the fascinating part, and I’m working 12 on and 12 off most of the time. So I’ve been hard to find. With that kind of time, I rarely even break out my confuser anymore. Mostly just the old iPhone, which is slowly dying, but man it has been through the wars and doesn’t owe me anything.

Love what you all are doing with the site. Great to see so many people whose company I enjoy.

Let’s try to convene a call about this time tomorrow. I’ll dig up the conference call number, or maybe Dime can just fire up one of the old numbers :-)

Huzah!

The View From Curmudgeon Corner

curmudgeon

I guess we ae seeing what Trump is made of.

Under fire from the media and the deep state, wavering Nevers getting bolder , he seems to have decided to fight and fight hard.

After months of hearing theory on Russian collusion based on purported wiretaps, the media suddenly realizes he just called their bluff and targeted their standard bearer who they must defend.

He either has rock solid proof from Rogers at the NSA that there was surveillance or he is going all in on a hunch. Either way, he just threw down and the opposition has two choices- either their allegations  are … Continue reading
