Summer’s Here
In celebration of the longest day of the year (longest daylight, that is—the day itself is like others: 24 hours minus part of a millisecond), and the splendor of summer, and because I’m down to just a few in the queue, I’m not posting a humor story, musing or whatnot for the remainder of June.…

My Storied Sports History
I’m in my fifties, and as far as sports go, I am a runner, and that’s primarily it. I do go kayaking with my wife and we hit the gym regularly, just to engage the battle against atrophy. And there’s occasional croquet. Very occasional. Anyway, my main thing is to lace up the shoes and…

Necessary Adjustments
I suppose tailors still exist today, fitting royalty or whoever may be considered as such, but getting clothes off-the-rack and dressing ourselves is the norm. So, we take what we can get, and while jeans, stretchy pants, sweatshirts, or dri-fit tees may work just fine, they are always going to require some adjustments. Since we…

Self-Improvement Inspiration From Some Early Modern Greats
Gonzaga University’s alumni magazine recently introduced me to the “Ignatian Year,” a commemoration that began May 2021 and is now wrapping up. May 20 last year marked the 500th anniversary of St. Ignatius’ conversion. I’m not Catholic, so I wasn’t aware of details about this figure, such as the fact that on that fateful day,…

Ignorance is Courage
I work regularly at a lab in eastern New Mexico, flying there and consulting a week at a time. With evenings and some Saturdays free, I make sure to get outside, even though that area offers little of NM’s “Land of Enchantment” claim. (Likewise, but in an opposite way, most of Idaho isn’t “Famous Potatoes.”)…

Complimentary Breakfast
Welcome again to “Real Life Voyeur,” the award-winning program on the Life Happens Network where you can watch unsuspecting and likely unwilling participants navigate life in public places. Last night, our crew meticulously mounted cameras for a secret HD view of Bestway Inn’s complimentary breakfast arena. I’m Jason “Jay” Walker, here with my colleague Thomas…

Fixing Crap
I’m content to work my job or perform household chores, but I sure don’t enjoy having to fix things. I have studied physics, so I somewhat understand why unmaintained things tend toward disorder, which is to say, stuff will break down. Objects offend me when they can’t keep their act together, and we rely on…

Prosperous Lives of the Medically Afflicted
Prosperity may be about accomplishments and wealth, but it’s also about attaining the lifestyle—the whole vibe of who we are, who we’ve become, and our purpose in what we do. Which is why I wish I could emerge from a drug commercial. By all appearances, those humans have it made. If one doesn’t feel well-established,…

Unlimited Bacon
Events pair well with food, such as youth group activity night and pizza. In the 90s I was a youth pastor, and at first, I asked parents to rotate covering the Domino’s order and beverages for the teenage horde. I soon ditched the idea, because food-logistics parent (usually the mom) would figure on four kids…
