I just bought my first Mac computer. There are so many fun things to do with it.

One of them is to make animated movies using my digital camera.

Smoke It!

I really didn’t care for the taste of smoked meats.

But my wife and a couple of friends pressed me to try smoked chicken.

I went out and bought an electric smoker and three bags of wood chips: hickory, apple and mesquite.

Two weeks ago I smoked my first chickens – and they were delicious!

Public Space vs. Private Space

Robert EbsenOP-ED

HBO has some really great shows.

Someone in my family really likes “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

I have watched that show but, the “language” really turns me off. It really bothers me.

I know it's real life, sometimes, for people to talk the way they do in the show.

Don't I want “real life” shows? What's wrong with me?

You do have a lucky number. Everyone does.

You know how you once in a while met someone with the SAME birthday as yours? Well, there must be even more people with the same lucky number as yours.

Grudges

I think I have held one or two grudges in my life. There was this guy who punched me in the stomach for no good reason in elementary school.

Organizing here means not only putting files in their place, but also a multitude of tasks that you want to complete each day. You may be doing many of these things but, heck, even if I give you ONE good idea, it's worth it, right?

Where's the Line?

Do you differentiate between friends and acquaintances?

What makes a friend? What makes an acquaintance?

What do I expect from a friend? What do I expect from an acquaintance?

And finally, where is that line between friend and acquaintance?

Peas in a Pod

Last night my wife and I attended a wedding.

As I looked around my table, I began to think about communicating with the people there.

Out of Your Way

Robert EbsenOP-ED

Have you gone out of your way for another? Have you done something because you felt you MUST DO something back

You most likely have.
