If You Change Nothing

Book of the Week

Think you know what it is all about. This book could challenge your beliefs.

 

Regardless, I don’t believe this book will provide the answer to what it is all about.

 

But it will give you things to think about.

 

What‘s It All About?

By Julian Baggini

Movie of the Week

If you have any appreciation of the art coming out of Paris during the 1920s, you have to watch this film.

I make a point of watching it once a year.

It will also make you want to visit Paris.

Midnight in Paris (2011)

Please click on the link below to see the trailer.

The trailer doesn’t come remotely close to capturing the artists portrayed in this film.

What a Shame

People of the Week

Friends

I’ve mention this category of people a number of times because I feel these people are so important to one’s well being.

One of my friends brought over a birthday cake on my actual birthday.

It was a complete surprise!

Joke of The Week

Physical Traits

A little humor, actually most of us believe in a deload (Easy) week every fourth week.

You need to give your muscles and central nervous system a chance to recover from hard training.

Getting Rid of Clutter

Consider getting rid of duplicate or blurry photos, the unused coupons that accumulate in kitchen drawers, bank statements and other such items that are available on-line, as well as old newspapers and magazines. Try taking a photo of items that hold memories but are not being used and many documents can be scanned and discarded.

Book of the Week

Here is something I heard about who should NOT write self-help books.

Failures, because all they can tell you is don’t do this or don’t do that. 

Wildly successful people because their success results in little advice for ordinary people.

Uncle Tony was not a failure nor was he wildly successful.

Advice regular people can use.

Each of the 99 topics in this book ends with a funny Uncle Tony story or joke.

At the end of Topic 12: Budgets

Although Uncle Tony was not fond of the typical corporate budget process, he did tell me there was one time when he found it useful.

 

I said, “Knowing how much you dislike the corporate budget process, I want to hear how you found it useful?”

 

Uncle Tony said, “Well, one time at work, my wife appears unexpectedly and walks into my office, which was awkward.”

 

I said, “How so?”

 

“Well, my secretary was sitting on my lap and I was talking on the phone when my wife walked in.”

 

I asked, “So, what did you do?”

 

Uncle Tony replied, “I said into the phone, I don’t care about these budget cuts, I cannot continue to run this office with only one chair.”

Movie of the Week

07/30/23 – AWPC World Championships

CURRENT EVENTS AWPC World Championships I’ll be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA; next week for this contest. Don’t let the “A” in AWPC fool you. Yes, the “A” stands for amateur. However the only difference between AWPC and WPC is that the AWPC is drug free and enforced by randomly testing 10% of all participants […]
