Optimism springs from a salient hope for things which are not seen that really should be..

I am declaring a personal war on the "Like" toggle. I was raised by hand, by two different people who shared common values, Though now divorced, both of my parents have always, do still and will surely always declare, " If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing."

Wait! Before you nod your head and "Like" this, please consider that by doing so you are actually "saying" nothing. Now, if you adamantly agree with the above adage, then your silence is a tacit admission that you have nothing nice to say, right?

Surely, somewhere in our recent history, we gave multi-word replies. Though it is nice to infer that there is some portion of a post that resonates, causes remembrance or brings a new thought to mind it is far more fulfilling--for us both (or all together)--to take that extra second or 5, to indicate the similarity or coincidence, empathy or encouragement we are getting because someone took a minute to share..

I ask much, But I love you guys (ya'll for Deb's friends)!

Thank you, and no I won't "Like" you any more--without at least a scrap of punctuation or a word (even emoji's show baseline) of connection...

Don't let F-Book make you a statistical automaton!

Enjoying what feels like a late autumn day here in Boston today… Snowbergs liquefying before my eyes.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword; that there is power is the written word. Let us not forget that the pen and word need a bit of help from this unspoken fellow:

Read any cool blogs, lately? Check this one out...

“All good education must come to an end.” A falsehood, to be sure, as education is likely an eternal proposal. However, many milestones are passed as the journey progresses, and like rest areas on a road trip-some are essential. The Master’s Thesis is one of these crucial stops. With a little planni...

Voice to text and Swype technology get plagiarized!

It happens all the time, you poke the little mike icon and say something brilliant into your smartphone...some time passes and a version of what you said pops up. Sometimes (rare) it is right on. Often, it has roughly the same meaning but a different distribution of words, or letters which the average person would interpret to get the same meaning.

Occasionally (quite often for some), something like this happens:

You have the radio on, hit the button to speak and rattle off a message. A moment later you look at your screen (because your not driving) and read something very funny, totally indecent or (and here's the rub) your own thought expressed better than you said it...

Do you, erase and try again, send it any way, or just laugh and get back to it later?

We appreciate the exposure by all. This roll out is full of bumps and trips, remember to check out the writing samples. What we want to do is attract writers to share their work and build an interconnected community. As a group, publishing opportunities are on a more reasonable scale...

Good Writing!

With high regard,

Well, I was able to retrace a particularly excellent conversation I had with a sharp, and witty--but troubled--young man. I thought he was lurking and I lit into him pretty harshly...

In person he might have even slunk off--but Facebook emboldens by way of eliminating the awkward and even un-level field of voice, body language and the critical eye...(mtc)
