Rapprochement: The Reestablishment of Harmony.


Inherent in Man is a desire to test boundaries, accumulate achievement, and manifest significance in the world. These exercises, when done equitably, reframe perspective…and Man rejoices in the adjustment.

ODDS ARE (we gonna be alright)

Image
  "Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening But you know the chances are so small..." Those are the first two lines from the Barenaked Ladies song titled "Odds Are."  Our 1971 Century Resorter is named "Odds Are." I  often wonder if people think the boat was purchased with winnings from a long weekend at the World Series of Poker, a couple bucks placed on John Daly to win the 1991 PGA Championship, or a penchant for success at the Blackjack tables in Vegas.  It is  a  strange name for almost anything. Very few people have asked me for clarification or reasoning. The r eality is the boat was named "Odds Are" because I like the song and the message it espouses. I have a natural disposition to embrace a positive and healthy outlook on most things.  The "Odds Are" chorus: "The odds are that we will probably be alright Odds are we gonna be alright, odds are we gonna be alright tonight" The Resorter’s name is largely a sub-par...

Falling down. Getting up.

On a regular basis, I purposefully enter the woods to find myself lost. It's a fact, you have to be lost before you can be found.  A couple weeks ago, while getting myself lost, I quickly discovered how ill-prepared I was for the intended expedition.

I was lost. It was beautiful.  Eventually, I started talking to Me: "What in Hell do you think you're doing...riding a bike in the middle of a 250 acre forest...alone? Seriously, you're closer to 50 than 47!"  Then, Me says to I: "Relax, I'm out here to fall down. You can't pick yoursel...

Good things come in threes.

AMI, FL, USA - Three girls: Helen, Margaret, Lucy Good things come in threes. True. But we also hear that bad things come in threes. Again, true. For future reference please note that bad news is readily available and nearby when a person is looking for and expecting it!  The same can be said for good news or good fortune. How many times have you heard Hard Luck Charlie exclaim, "Good luck follows (insert a name) around like a lost puppy! He wakes up and Fortune has coffee brewed and waiting on his front porch."  Good things happen to those who are looking for it. One, two, three. Ready, set, go!  So what's with the number 3? No idea, all I have is a cool picture of three girls on a beach.
