What invention are you especially glad has been invented because it makes your life immeasurably better?
The great thing about writing a blog (or anything on the Internet for that matter) is that if you make a mistake you can remove a page and start over again, inserting the correct fact or statement for something you hadn’t intended to say.
That’s what I’m doing today. When I opened the blog this morning, I noticed I had made a mistake that could be made by almost anyone. Anyone, that is, expect those who have not used the Internet for very long — or who are extremely cautious and/or extremely lucky. (The same thing can happen to users of word processing when you try to reuse an old document.)
What happened here is that I had tried to take advantage of the wording I used earlier for the series of “Questions Worth Asking Yourself.” I simply copied the format I was planning to use — without first removing the old questions and inserting new ones. Consequently, the questions made no sense in relationship to the title.
They were perfectly good questions, but they didn’t match the subject of “An Invention You Cannot Do Without.”
Now I’ll try again.
Questions Worth Asking Yourself: #4
In a post on July 15 called The World’s Greatest Challenge, I began a series of questions I call Questions Worth Asking Yourself. Here is the fourth in that category:
What one piece of technology that has been created in the last one-hundred years would you not want to do without?
Why?
WIN A PRINT BOOK: Anyone who sends me a comment about any of the questions will be entered into a drawing for a print copy of Ask Yourself Questions and Change Your Life: Stop Wishing Your Life Were Different and Make It Happen. That’s right, you’ll actually get a print copy, not an ebook (unless you would prefer that). So it may be worth your effort to consider these questions carefully and share your answer.
We have all had a particular moment in our lives that stands out for us because we did something we wish we had not done or would have done differently. If you could go back in time, what would you do differently?
Vacation Update:
If you read the August 10 post, you will know that I am on a two-week trip with our grandson by car, plane and sailboat.
Yesterday we flew to Lexington, MA, and today and tomorrow we will take a tour of historic sites in Boston. Then on Sunday we drive to Boothbay Harbor, Maine, for the first day of the Intergenerational Road Scholar program.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING YOURSELF: #3
In a post on July 15 called The World’s Greatest Challenge, I began a series of questions I call “Questions Worth Asking Yourself.”
Here is the third in that category:
If you could return to one moment in your life and could do something differently, what would that be?
How do you expect that would have made a difference?
What have you learned since that time that would have allowed you to react differently?
Incidentally, I am calling this post “Back to the Future” because the topic reminds me of the science-fiction comedy with Michael J. Fox and directed by Steven Spielberg. If you didn’t see that film, I’ll just tell you that it imagines what can happen if people could go back in time and have a hand to shaping their future. It’s not a unique proposition, but it was done exceedingly well.

We have all had experiences that taught us a great deal. What was yours?
Questions Worth Asking Yourself: #2
In a post on July 15 called The World’s Greatest Challenge, I began a series of questions I call Questions Worth Asking Yourself. Here is the second in that category:
What experience taught you the most important lesson of your life?
Why do you feel that particular experience is more important than others you’ve had?

Of all the problems our world faces, what do you think is the greatest challenge?
Questions Worth Asking Yourself: #1
As you know if you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, I love to ask questions, particularly when the question may cause you to challenge some assumption you have accepted without giving it serious thought.
So today begins a category of blog posts I call Questions Worth Asking Yourself. You can answer the questions by adding a comment to the post. Or you could also just think about this today, or maybe ask someone else for their opinion.
What do you think is the greatest challenge the world faces today?
Why?
How would you solve the problem?
You will notice that I have added “why” to this question. That is because I believe it is important to not only know the answer you would give to a question, but the reason why you feel as you do.

If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you know that I’m learning how to create videos with Sony’s Vegas Pro.

While I am writing this on May 16 and have it scheduled to appear on May 20, if you see Getting Ready to Gather Memories, you will know that today, the day before my grandson’s wedding, I am thoroughly experiencing everything I do.
