To me, age is just a state of mind. That is because we’re all polygons. Each one of us has multiple sides and dimensions to who we are. Yet many of us see each other in the shallowest, most incomplete terms. This is even true with people we think we know. That’s unfortunate. It’s one reason I’m sharing this with you.
Not a day goes by that I don’t learn something new. When I’m really lucky, I learn something new about a family member or a friend. It’s one thing to learn about history or famous people we’ve never met. But gaining insights into someone closer is even more meaningful. I think we need more of that.
As has become my annual ritual on this day, here are 60 facts and thoughts on who I am and where’s I’m now at on life’s journey:

[RETRO-MOVIE REVIEW]
While channel surfing a few nights ago, my remote landed on 256 and Turner Classic Movies.

Read More“Eleven months after the transaction was announced and more than a year after the death of Las Vegas Sands founder Sheldon Adelson, the Nevada Gaming Control Board will consider the sale of one of the gaming industry’s most high-profile Strip properties during a licensing hearing Wednesday in Las Vegas.
It won’t be a simple discussion, given Apollo’s 11-year controversial ownership of Caesars Entertainment.”
Weather Karma is a Bitch
“Snow today is water tomorrow.”
I’ve seen this meme, and others like it, circulating on social media lately. Presumably, it’s a light-hearted attempt to poke fun at people who live in colder climates with lots of snowfall.
Most readers know of my distaste for memes, and here’s a perfect example of short-sighted, dirt-dumb, foolishness.
