I’d like to teach the world to sing.

A fine idea.

First I must learn to sing, the current output is closer to a moan.

And if everyone felt capable of singing – in fact everyone can – we would have a new tone of communication and endless creative couplings.

So many songs to learn, so many to write, so many to enjoy performing.

It’s not only true of singing.

How wonderful to have a studio where every time you see a thing, an item, a product that could be better, you work with a team to design the better one.

The next part of the team helps introduce the new vastly improved item to the relevant manufacturer.

Improvements start with easier use or control and embrace suave and friendly look.

Let us do this!

Looking forward and leaning in the wind a bit.

Seemed “blowy”. A word that never sounds right but is very descriptive.

Trees were bending like plucked harpsichord strings.

Leaves were moving like expelled shotgun pellets.

Two centenarians were eyeing each other amorously.

A baby directed a dog through the park with better command than canine-doting adults.

The future is filled with bright colors.

Just because it’s so.

There are times when an honest person can be appreciated when they say “just because”.

But isn’t it horrible and crappy most of the time!?

There are good reasons, I’ll explain later.

Now what a perfectly acceptable statement…from someone you know and respect.

And there’s the rub!

Nothing to say.

Everything to communicate.

Setting the baseline, the parameters or range of subjects.

Which ideas and which sentiments – can be decided in advance.

The conversation will likely go elsewhere.

Having a plan ready to be abandoned sometimes helps things flow into a spontaneous stand-up improv occasion.

And that is fun we think.
