If you’re part of the Rat Race, you’re a Rat Racer! And maybe you’re doing really well. Winning, even. But even if you win, like Lily Tomlin said, you’re still a Rat. That’s how I have felt during the 35 years I’ve been working. Even when I got my ‘dream…

KEW Episode 34: Self
WHO are you? WHAT are you? WHY are you? On some metaphysical level we are awareness. We occupy a body on earth that abides by the laws of physics and biology, but what goes on when we think? When I meditate, or even when I’m just making decisions in my…
Preview KEW Episode 34: Self
Following up the Soul episode (KEW Episode 33) with a discussion of the Self. What is the self? I have been doing some work with a coach who is helping me understand the different parts of my psyche. Sound crazy? It isn’t. I am starting to believe that our ‘personalities’…
FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 14: COVID
A few of my observations from this past July regarding the US COVID situation. Or as they say around here, “All that’s been goin’ on”. At the least it’s interesting to look at how much things changed (and haven’t) over the past six months. I wonder most about the polarization…
KEW Episode 33: Soul

FLASHBACK! Episode 13: Slavery
Slavery is a disgusting topic but I had to share my thoughts in this episode. Most of us think about the terrible movement of africans to the southern US that led to the civil war. But it turns out that slave labor is a critical part of many business models….
KEW Episode 32: Work/Life Balance
Have you ever felt like a slave to the 40 hour workweek? I know I never signed up for that, but I learned early on that to do the fun stuff I want to do I have to work for money to do it. Sure, I’ve had some hippie friends…
Curiosity Interview series
Just an update on my idea to do an interview series about Curiosity. It is becoming apparent that a major theme of my blog/podcast/vlog is Curiosity. I guess I’m a naturally curious person. But I guess I thought everyone was curious. So it’s interesting to me to think about the…

Since I was a kid I have been obsessed with how to make room for the things I want in my life and the things I have to do to get them. At thirteen I got a paper route and realized part of my life did not belong to me….
