brian cork on Women

April22

Andrew Collins recently advised me that somebody much more astute than myself evidently came up with the maxim (proverb, gnome, aphorism, apothegm, sententia):

“men are always happy if nothing is wrong, and women are only happy when everything is okay (or, fine).”

that one recently stopped me in my tracks because it helps make everything clear. it adeptly sets the stage for “happy wife, happy life” – which is (a truism) happens to be the key to everyone being happy. especially if you agree with the above apparent wisdom (which is a manner of speaking, if not seeing the world).

having said that, this morning as I was trying to leave the house, my wife froze me in my tracks with the question:

“are you sure you want to wear that t-shirt to work?”

I knew she meant that she didn’t want me to wear that t-shirt, anywhere.

and, details aside, it likely means I’m not going to get the new(ish) truck that I want.

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
