September 9, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 7
The American dream is a pretty simple concept. You get a job that affords you to buy a house and have a family. It’s a formula that has worked for millions of people. It worked for my parents and their parents and their grandparents (and I could go on … I’m serious … if you…

September 3, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 6
Kings and queens ruling their royal subjects are the substance of fairy tales. Fairy tales are where they need to stay. I don’t want to turn on my television news and hear about a princess who died because, as far as I’m concerned, they are all dead. The days of having royal weddings and other…

September 2, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 5
Simple doesn’t exist in anything if you examine it long enough, but complex doesn’t have to exist with everything (Logic police alert! Drop the bad sentence and step away from the building!).

August 22, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 2
First, let me make something perfectly clear (to steal a phrase from a man who stole the innocence out from under America). This is not a sequel to Thoughts from Life. It is merely a continuance of my thoughts as the title suggests (Okay, the title out-and-out states it). I’m not saying that all sequels…

August 20, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 1
I’m not complaining, but I have troublesome hair. I have thick, curly hair. This is fine if you want to be the Greatest American Hero (insert actor’s name here), but not if you want the hair you can run your fingers through. I can, theoretically, run my fingers through my hair, but, the moment I’m…

Introduction
Thoughts from Life was originally a series I wrote when I was working in an office with little to do. I’ve never been one to sit around and do nothing, so I worked on creative writing projects. It was 1997 and I believe I brought the writings in on a 3.5 inch floppy disk. If…
