About Me:
I'm a baby boomer with a growing frustration regarding the things I constantly see adult people doing that clearly complicate their lives and relationships. For example, it is my humble opinion that more marriages are destroyed by implosion rather than explosion. Simply put, they die from neglect moreso than outside influences.

My mission in life is simple. I am here to be a voice of reason in an unreasonable world; to be heard by those who may not hear another. As I witness personally and culturally the wholesale decimation of the state of our relationships, I believe it is far past time that someone at least say something to stem the tide.

Sure, there are many things that can be blamed for the multiplied millions of casualties. However, the exponentially growing pervasiveness of the attitudes of inbred entitlement and the corresponding irresponsibility are what I perceive to be at the very heart this wanton wave of destruction.

With that being said, my intention is to bring discomfort - perhaps even offense. In the process though, I will be jolted from my own inertia and complacency. In the process, I will take all with me who are willing to go.

So buckle up. The ride will be bumpy, but we'll be all the better for our endurance.

Why Ask Why?

In the great mental vacuum of psychobabble and matching talk shows, seems to be an endless string of people from failed relationships asking “why”. “Why didn’t I get my promised phone call?” “Why weren’t they where they said they were going to be?” “Why did they lie to me?” “Why did they cheat on me?” Why, why, why, why!!! These pointless inquiries are usually followed by some mention of “closure” as if having “closure” somehow changes the end results. My question is why ask why?

The fact is it… Continue

Pros And Cons Of Sex Before Marriage

What To Do, What To Do?

This question won't be going anywhere any time soon. As long as there are people with rushing hormones, this is going to be an issue. Many will blame the animal in us (particularly men - sorry fellas- smile); others will blame our histories; still others will create their own philosophies.

However, there are some things I have noticed that I don't see anyone else discussing. For example, anatomically speaking, all the reasons that sex is good for marriage make it… Continue

Why Do So Many Men Like Porn?

Lessons For Women

Women have wondered forever what it is about porn that mesmerizes so many men. Some of us have tried to participate with our partners only to find ourselves feeling like Hell afterwards. Others of us have found ways to make it part of our sexual lexicon with mixed results.

Let's face it. Outside of the industry, it is difficult at best for a couple to comfortably fit porn into their relationship. Men, on the other hand, generally have no problem keeping as part of thei… Continue

Do I Have To Forget To Forgive?

Amnesia is Impossible. Now What?

Hurt feelings happen. Pain is a fact of life. Get used to it. It's not going anywhere. Create a strategy for dealing with it right now and spare yourself years and years of needless pain.

The good news is hurt feelings are not fatal. You don't have to die from your pain. Pain doesn't have to be a lifestyle. Contentment and happiness can be made in spite of it. The real question is, are you willing to do what it takes to have contentment and happin… Continue

Love Is A Choice - NOT An Emotion

Like most people, I have often heard the all-too-common refrains, "you can't help who you love", "it just happened", or "one thing led to another". Most often, I hear this from women who are attempting to justify their ill-advised involvement in some situation that has come back to bite them in the behind.

Ladies, I'm about to set you free!! None of these assessments is accurate. The truth is - you absolutely, unequivocally "help" who you love; it did not just… Continue

I had a question - I love Chicago - great town and my son, Louie, lives there. I have been hoping that a group would come looking for me to give a speech in Chicago. If you know of anyone in that lovely town who is looking for a speaker - could you please put my name into the pot?
