 Pondermust. . .   Wanderlust has been defined as the strong desire to travel.  Maybe ponderlust is that desire to wonder.  Perhaps while wandering.    With a bit of re-imagining of that initial idea, I think the word pondermust may deserve a place in my vocabulary. Not just a desire or a suggest...

A Typical Book ReviewSurely You Jest. . . When I first read the announcement of this month’s contest, I knew I wanted to participate but the “how” in achieving it would be another story.  Some thoughts and the assembling of parts have come together as this post is now “ready”.   More or less.   I...

A Comparative Advantage. . . I dare not go to any discussion of Economics.   There are far more informed people on the topic(and countless other subjects).  The other day, I read an article and comparative advantage was mentioned.  It was a distant memory but it was kinda nice to recognize a term...
