Down here in Dothan, Alabama we have a city park that’s been setup to give folks a feeling for how country life used-to-be. I guess these parks are probably springing up all over the country, I’ll bet in New York they have a park that teaches you what it’s like to get mugged, or to explain to a foreign cab driver where you’d like to go. Our park is a working farm, and also has a real old-fashioned soda fountain. I have no idea what one has to do with the other.There was a story ... more »

 When I shop for clothes, I keep it simple. I walk into the men’s store and say, “I want to look at some shirts.”The salesperson points to the shirts and I say “I’ll take this one and that one”.I’m out of there in less than 5 minutes.

After all, it was my casual observation that dating, as I knew it in the Sixties, had died some years ago.With patience and a healthy respect for elders, the girls gave me an inside look into their world,... more »

 Darkness descends outside the shallow limestone cave.The creatures inside, more ape than human, have paired onto their mats of mildewed grass and small, leafy branches, laying close to the walls for the minimal reflected warmth it might provide. Sleep will come soon, and the cave is quiet, except for a few snores.It has been raining for days, and the thatched brown fur that covers the bodies of the beasts is matted, wet, moldy and musky. In and out through the hairs on their skin crawl... more »

 STEP #3Experts are experts because they’re not the ones who are confused.The only way you can continue to be an expert is to make sure that you’re always one step ahead of your targets.
