I’m interested in stories that sing, stories with a message, scenarios that make one wonder, and tales that cast new light on the familiar. I love dogs, live in Paradise, and ride a Spyder. I offer free courses on critical thinking and character development on zipwits.com
100 Short Stories
From the yard to the stars. But they don’t wander far from turning events into experiences, moments into meaning.
Life has choices
What’s the right choice? Let’s make a game of making the right choices. Use principles, and decide which principles matter.
Everyday Science
In the kitchen, at a cabin, at a garage sale, in dirty laundry. This is science through humour and examples, not math or quizzes.
Insight in Rhyme
88 poems on the complexities of life—from personal identity to the passage of time. All with a playful, contemplative touch.
70 original fables
Life is hard, but rich with moments of wonderment. Fables tell us a bit about both. They tell us about ourselves.
think for yourself
With lots of examples. Fun stuff, mostly. Spot good thinking. Catch wonky thinking—there is plenty in TV commercials.
nostalgic — fantastic
This is the Comics & Stories of ballads and verse. Clippings on items of interest, bits about life, outlook, and a look at nature.
life as short stories
Reminiscent of Earth as a pale blue dot, our lives—large as they are to us—are short stories in the collection of life.
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke, letter of 1903 July 16
