This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk. The French policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a French man, and that he drank […]
Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here. It took me 14 months to realize the only way to become one was to be a secretary admin for seven years and work my way up through program assistant or go back to school and get my Bachelor degree. It did not matter what the […]
Part 1 is here. A year later, September of 2002, I came across a course entitled Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), which was an eight week course of three hours per week, teaching communities how to respond in an emergency, such as an earthquake or flood, etc. It was free. All you had to do […]
Once again, this course, “When to Lay the Weapons Down” was written for attorneys and the lessons were loosely based around Rules for Being Human. While you may not be an attorney, this is based on how you work with the people around you, those above and below you. It is attitude, not position […]

Small is as small does. I live in a suburb of Seattle, Federal Way, Washington where it is said that there are 90,000 residents. Compared to Los Angeles that had 6 million when I left in 1996, 90,000 is small to me and I love it here. It is small enough to retain a sense […]

A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson. Why on earth would anyone choose to experience substance abuse? The very words are rather silly and far too […]
