Charity Works: The Bimini Project

April 18, 2022 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

When I founded the No Bats Baseball Club thirty years ago, I had no idea we would grow into the extraordinary organization the years have ordained. Yesterday, Easter Sunday, we partnered with Baltimore’s Oriole Advocates to outfit every child on the island of Bimini, Bahamas to play baseball if he or she desires. This is […]

“Having It All” … What Exactly Is It?

April 8, 2022 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

What Is All? Years back I met a twenty-something new to our organization who told me she moved to town intent on “having it all.” Her statement was quick and decisive so I asked a clarification question, “What is all?” Her answer was immediate and definitive. “Husband, house, picket fence, baby, all of it,” she […]

Where Are the Smarts, In Your Head or In the Phone?

March 31, 2022 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

Who’s your most valuable compadre, a real person or your cell phone? A tongue-in-cheek point to ponder, perhaps, but there is a danger in dehumanizing our lives to the extent we rely on our phones and iPads more than what blossoms inside the mind. I recently watched two TV shows with dramatically contrasting approaches and […]

Why the World is Getting Louder

February 18, 2022 by Ocean Palmer Leave a Comment

Woke. Cancel. Gaslighting. The world is angry, seemingly louder by the day. The why is simple: Everyone has a microphone and instant access to Internet pulpits and megaphones.
