Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Thursday’s essay is called, "Romantic notions help us maintain balance—a stable, steady footing—in our lives." Romantic notions are pleasant, comforting, and adequately soothe our idyllic, picturesque, fairy-tale side. They offer, too, more than just a reason for living; they are, indeed, a placid, warm, snug, and cozy place where our thoughts can reside in a calm and peaceful manner without agitation, distress, or upset. We need romantic notions to maintain a balance—a stable, steady footing—in our lives---and, thus, they are worth discussing.
Romantic notions help us maintain balance--a stable, steady footing--in our lives
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
When we were in Australia for 6 months, our choices were limited, but we discovered that it doesn’t take long to become accustomed to it. When we returned home, we even discussed the possibility of limiting what we needed to live comfortably, but it isn’t long until the supply catches up with what you want—not what you need, but what you want. Soon, once again, you begin to appreciate all that you have and all the choices you have in order to have more!

Thursday’s essay is called, “Family members as role models: The first school for young children." Valuing children as human beings, revealing consistency between what you do and what you expect children to do, creating a positive and supportive home atmosphere, accentuating the positive, and modeling and explaining effective, expected behaviors, are just some of the ways adults can influence children. This essay is about the important role family members play in influencing children.
Family members as role models: The first school for young children
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
There is no doubt that parents are a child’s first teachers and role models. Usually, too, children are more affected by what their parents do than by what their parents say. They learn how to behave by seeing how their mothers and fathers behave, and they follow their example. It is like a computer’s default pattern. That is, when given no specific instructions on how the computer is supposed to deal with a situation, it falls back on the programming it has stored in its memory, and it uses the instructions in that programming.

Final Part of Edgar E. Willis World War II Memoir and Following the Rules Preview
And Then Some Publishing News
-----
It might be the final part of the Civilian in an Ill-fitting Uniform interview with Edgar E. Willis, however there's more. What? There's more?
We have more video's from Edgar coming soon and he is about to turn 97.... YES, 97! The upcoming video series comes from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Edgar presents a combination of a lecture and a question and answer session all about William Shakespeare. If you love Shakespeare or have to study him, then you are in for a treat!
Part 4, is the conclusion of Anthony Weaver's interview with author Edgar E. Willis. At 96, Anthony's grandfather, retired Emeritus Professor of Communication at the University of Michigan, penned his memoir Civilian in an Ill-fitting Uniform. This book is Edgar's account of the time before and after he served on the USS Alaska during World War II. In his decommission Edgar faced some big decisions that would choose the path for his life. With an education, he had career choices, a wife and children, what was to happen next?... And what does he hope readers will take away from his World War II memoir?
Click here if you can't see Part 4 of Edgar's interview.
Usually, we provide links to all of the videos in the Civilian interview series here. Instead, this week we want you to go to Edgar's website: EdgarEWillis.com. As soon as this post is published And Then Some Publishing is updating the website for better access to content and where you will be able to see all his videos in one place.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Thursday’s essay is called, “Following the rules." After an unabashingly, unsubtle attempt to sell my rules-based books, I talk about a column in the New York Times by Jane E. Brody entitled, “Rules Worth Following, for Everyone’s Sake.” In this column, Brody reviews Michael Pollan's book called Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual (137 pages, $11 retail, $5.50 at Amazon). I mention some of Pollan's rules and comments by other reviewers of his book. In the excerpt from the essay located below, I share some insights about those who may not appreciate Pollan's book; thus, you can determine---right here and now!---whether or not my essay is worth reading.
Following the Rules
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
There are three types of people who will not appreciate Pollan’s book. First, those who have read his previous books will find this one redundant. More than that, it is simply a distillation of and recycled verbatim from his previous book, In Defense of Food, referred to above. Second, if you are already into food and nutrition, you will find much of what Pollan says, common sense—maybe even, elementary. The third type of person who can skip this book and his previous one are those who simply adopt Pollan’s approach, which he summarized in just seven words: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Obesity solved! Diet-related ailments eliminated!

We finish off part 2 with, "That's the way the navy does it!"

Anthony and Lynne show you how they shot their video, including the end result!

Thursday’s essay is called, “Having a remote to get us through life?" Imagine along with me in this essay what it would be like in your life if you had a remote control that gave you the possibility for mute, fast forward, reverse, do over, channel selection, slow motion, delete, and cut and paste? How would your life be different? I'm certain it would be far different than it is now . . . and then some!
Having a remote to get us through life?
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
In this age of technology, scientists need not stop with remote-controlled garage-door openers and TVs, invent a remote to help me get through life. And while you’re at it, put on the remote a number of buttons for future use—so that I can program them whatever way I choose and whenever I need them. Maybe I’ll program one to make me a very wealthy man, another to bring me many new friends, and a third.....hmmmmmm.....maybe with the third I’ll program it to keep me forever young!

Thursday’s essay is called, “Examining the paranormal helps us understand how the world works." There are many paranormal and supernatural claims. Psychics, astrologers, alien abductions, alternative medicines, ghosts, and life after death are just a few of them. But when people have personal experiences with any of these, those occurrences offer them a powerful and persuasive reason to believe in them, especially if they can’t explain them. In this essay I examine their "reasons for believing." It is a delightful essay that offers a closer examination.
Examining the paranormal helps us understand how the world works
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Many people have had psychic experiences or episodes with things that science cannot explain. Whether it is extrasensory perception (ESP), haunted houses, ghosts of the spirits of dead people, telepathy, clairvoyance, astrology, communicating mentally with someone who has died, witches, reincarnation, or channeling, seventy-five percent of Americans profess at least one paranormal belief according to a recent Gallup survey. The most popular is extrasensory perception, mentioned by 41%, followed closely by a belief in haunted houses (37%). Only 27% of Americans, according to the same survey, believe in none of these.
