Truth or Dare

Would you dare?


Why is it that it's so hard to tell the truth?  Especially to someone you care about?  The odd thing is not everyone wants to hear the truth.  There are some people that would willingly spend their lives with their heads in the sands.  How can life be real if you live in a false reality?  Yes, reality bites!  It's supposed to...  but what if by facing reality you actually change your life so that your reality is your dream?  Something to think about...

Geese Fly

So Why Do They Walk Across the Street?


Lately it seems that every time I try to drive somewhere I am being blocked by geese.  They seem to like hanging out in parking lots and walking across streets.  My question is if geese can fly then why do they walk in these single file lines across the street whenever you are trying to get somewhere?   Am I right?  Or am I right?  Right!?!

Burger Bites & Chicken Salad

Around the Town


What are some of your favorite foods?  I like pizza, burgers, and sliders aka mini-burgers...  Recently I met someone I know at a new place for lunch and tried the highly recommended Palace burger.  For a little burger it was not quite so little and was quite tasty.  This place is under new ownership and caters to an eclectic crowd.  Then I met some friends out in another area of town after checking out a museum featured in the newspaper and tried their Bistro burger:  Another tasty burger...  But when it comes to chicken salad I like Whole Foods and Huffman's Market.  If you're in the mood for yummy then these are places to go!

Anatomy of an Affair

What really happens?


Affairs of the heart happen often in the work setting.  This happened quite often at a company I used to work for years ago.  Two married people meet each other at work and realize that they have something in common with someone who is not their spouse.  They begin to confide in each other then spend time with each other until one day they go farther than they should.

They say they shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't...

but they couldn't, couldn't, couldn't resist...

So then what usually happens is the woman decides that she still loves her husband and she goes back to him.  However she then has to report the man she had the affair with as having harassed her.  He ends up getting fired.  And she cries because she knows she was at fault.  This scenario has happened time and time again.  A truly repentant person can maybe get past this however there are those that simply don't care and do it again and again irregardless of the curses they bring upon themselves and their children.

I have seen this happen again and again in the workplace.  People never learn...

Man or Beast?

Self-Actualization


There once was a fellow named Abraham Maslow who believed that our healthy being depended on a hierarchy of needs.  Each of us are on different levels of needs.  I have found that most people seem to get along best with others that are on the same level in Maslow's hierarchy.  Some people only care about their basic needs and get stuck there.  Others bypass the different levels to self-actualization.
