Oh, the Things You Can Ask

In this special episode, Oh, the Things You Can Ask and the Dreams You Can Grasp!

In a world full of wonders, all wiggly and grand,

There's so much to see, all across the whole land!

Don't just sit in your spot like a glum-looking Gnu,
There's exploring to do, just waiting for YOU!

So open your eyes and look all around,
At the sights and the sounds that happily abound!

And when something seems strange, or a bit out of whack,
Don't just shrug and say, "Well, I guess that's that!"

No, no, little friend, that's not the right way!
You must ask a question, today, yes, today!

Like "Why does the sky turn all colors at night?"
Or "Why do the stars twinkle so shiny and bright?"

Be curious, friend, like a fox in the woods,
Investigate things, like a good question should!

Poke and you'll peek, and you'll try, and you'll see,
The marvelous mysteries waiting for thee!

Now, while you are looking and asking with glee,
Don't forget to dream big, as big as can be!

Imagine a Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz in the sky,
Or a Grickle-Grass growing way up super high!

Dream dreams that are lofty, and silly, and bold,
Let your thoughts take you places, both new and quite old!

For a dream is a seed, and with sunshine and care,
It can grow into something amazing, I swear!

And when you go journeying, near and so far,
Find good folks to travel with, like a bright shining star!

Folks who lift you up high, and who help you to grow,
Not the grumpy old Grumps who just tell you "No, no!"

So go forth and explore, with a question in hand,
Be curious always, all over the land!

Dream lofty, great dreams, let your spirit take flight,
For the world is your oyster, so go shine your light!

I'm excited to share this poem and my latest blog post, " Unleash Your Inner Artist, "in which I explore creativity and collaboration with Gemini AI. I've asked AI many questions and shared previous blog posts for insights on my writing style and suggestions for expanded subjects.

This poem reflects our conversations! How, you ask? It's quite simple, really: I asked Gemy (AI) to synthesize our discussions and create a poem in a fun Dr. Seuss style. What do you think?

It's exciting to think about your extraordinary potential to explore new ideas—our only limits are our imagination and the willingness to ask questions!

I'm Patrick Ball. Stay curious, explore, and ask questions–it's fun! See you in the next episode.

Feeling Human Again

In this episode, The Unexpected Thankfulness of Feeling Human Again I’ll be honest with you: My triumphant return from France was not the glamorous homecoming I had imagined. No graceful glide back into routine. No cinematic jet-setter moment where I lift my suitcase off the carousel and wink at life like we’re old pals. Instead? I came home and immediately launched into a two-week performance piece titled The Great American Couch Collapse. My days blurred together in a haze of soup, hot tea, tissues, and desperate negotiations with the universe for just one nostril—one!—to function properly. The living room sofa became my emotional support furniture. And any creative idea that dared tiptoe into my congested brain was gently shown the exit with a firm but courteous, “Not today, friend. Try again later.” When life hits the pause button like that—when you’re exhausted, sick, and mentally unplugged—how do you find your spark again? Somehow, today, I felt it. A tiny shift. A clearing of th...

Patience – the Only First-Class Ticket

In this episode, Why Patience is the Only First-Class Ticket They say travel broadens the mind. After eight days sailing the Rhône with 140 fellow luxury vacationers, I can confirm it also tests patience, calf strength, buffet strategy, and one's tolerance for people furious that France insists on being French. Don't get me wrong—I adored this trip. The river shimmered like liquid optimism. The villages looked hand-painted. The pastries could negotiate world peace. But somewhere between Ship Horn Hello and Bon Voyage, we'd inadvertently boarded a floating behavioral research study disguised as a holiday. Our ship was less a cruise and more a ferry for the Sailors of Status. ⌚ The Wristwatch Wars Some passengers approached relaxation like yogis. Others treated leisure like a final exam with extra credit. I came to believe certain luxury watches emit ultrasonic signals that only their owners can detect. A frequency calibrated to trigger rapid movement toward any line forming...

Up the Rhône

Up the Rhône by Patrick Ball We booked a fine cruise up the Rhône — what a treat! With iPhones, lanyards, and schedules so neat. They promised us peace and a mind that would mend, But each calm beginning had chores at the end! "Now breakfast at seven! At eight, take the view!" At nine, there's a lecture on ' What Tourists Do!' At noon, there's a tasting (you must love the cheese), Then hurry to nap time — as corporate decrees! I followed that plan till my patience ran dry. The Rhône softly chuckled, "Oh my, oh my, my! You've missed half my sparkles, my ripples, my tone— You're busy pretending you've peacefully grown!" So I fired my planner and banished my clock. I tossed my agenda right off the dock! I let the wind tickle my schedule away, and drifted through hours that danced where they may. I chatted with swans, had no notion of when, I'd nibble, or nap, or go roaming again. No Wi-Fi! No meetings! No planning! No fuss! Just me and ...

When a Guitar Chooses You

In this episode - When a Guitar Chooses You — And a Musician Steals the Show. Every so often, something nudges you back into the wide-eyed wonder of being a kid again. It feels like it was just yesterday—for me—June 2, 2023—thanks to a guitar shop, a long drive, and one very talented musician. I finally made the pilgrimage to Norman’s Rare Guitars —the mythical land where famous guitarists roam and ordinary folks (like me) try not to look like we’re hyperventilating. I walked in clutching my humble Squier Strat like a kid carrying his lunchbox to the Oscars. Enter Brandon Soriano, encyclopedic guitar wizard and “Spec Check” champion. Within minutes, he had me test-driving Fender Strats like I was choosing a getaway car. Just as I settled on an American Ultra Strat , Michael Lemmo—yes, that Lemmo—walked in, the effortlessly cool host of Guitar of the Day . He plugged in the guitar I was thinking about buying . . . and suddenly I wasn’t thinking anymore. “Stevie Ray? He said, "Tr...
