I think one of our main purposes as human beings…. is to become better people.  To do what is right, and what is good.  This may include…. having a bowl of Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Dough-Icecream from time to time.

But seriously.  Most of us strive to be better people… to set higher standards for ourselves….  don’t we?

So, who determines this?  Who sets this “bar” that sets the standards for what is right and good?

Well.  Now that’s a tough one. It is a separate, distinct,and unique thing for every individual.   We all have different religions we practice.  All of us are from different parts of the world, with varying cultural influences.  Everyone marches to the beat of a different jukebox.  Rat-a-tat-tat…  and….. boom-chucka-lucka-lucka-boom.

But truly.  Deep down inside, I think every person (of competent mind) “knows” what is right, and what is wrong.

So back to the “being all that we can be” part.   The purpose of my life is to learn, grow, and be snappy-doodle-do.   In order to facilitate this growth, I must ask big questions of myself and of life.

Question.  Ask.  Seek. Search.

James Thurber once said, “It’s better to ask some of the questions than to know all the answers.”  Good words Jim.

So for me… asking big questions makes life a bit more interesting and intriguing.  Sometimes it can… potentially….. make my helmet ache.  Other times… it can be extremely uplifting.

Most days… I try look upon everyone and everything as a partial answer to a larger question. That keeps life spicy, I’ll tell you.  When I get happy, or angry, or giddy, or sad, or confused, or… whatever it is I am “getting”…. I try to see it all as a part of the process.   I keep working on treasuring every experience as a means of expanding my knowledge and understanding.

I think on most days…. I  have more questions than answers. I want to always keep asking questions.

I want to look for, and be receptive to, the answers to my questions….  in each and every one of  my daily experiences and endeavors.  The good ol’ Seek and Find Puzzle.

Here are some good answers to stuff… just because.

You know that  small “You Are Here” sticker that indicates your position on a map?  Well that thing has a name — it’s called an “ideo locator.”

Apropo really.  You are here.  I just ideo located you…..

Water itself does not conduct electricity, but the impurities found in water do.

Ahhh… the impurities in life always get us zapped… don’t they?

When Skee-Ball was first invented, the lane was 36 feet long. Not many people could roll the ball that far, so they shortened it to 14 feet.

A great example of living and learning.  This “sport” wasn’t very effective at first.  But a little modification… and MAN OH MAN…. Skee Ball is more fun than downhill skiing and hang gliding!

The Q in Q-tips stands for quality. They were originally called Baby Gays.

Okay…. then.   Quality Tips.  That’s sorta’ weird…..
