Good early afternoon (on the day after the 4th of July), The fourth of July brings back many memories for me. The earliest, and reoccurring, memoryis that of going to McCook Lake, SD with the Goedes, our family’s closest friends (both of our parents were perhaps major amigos). The other reason we went to SouthContinue reading “Freedom . . . from what? for whom?”

Imagining the Other
Good Morning, I am often amazed at the body’s ability to rejuvenate itself. By the time I went to sleep last night, I think I was both brain-dead and physically exhausted. I did not wake up the entire night and I think it was around 12:30 or 1:00 a.m. , but I woke atContinue reading “Imagining the Other”
Unexpected – Safe Harbors
Good early morning, I began this last night on my iPad, but it seems that each device has something unique to it and until I put together a post on it and figure out some things, I will invariably erase what I have written. Fortunately last night it was only a paragraph or so. IContinue reading “Unexpected – Safe Harbors”
Wondering How and When
Good morning, While I woke up at my usual early time, I did not get up as soon after awakening as I often do. I finished on night out on my porch and must have fallen asleep in one of the rocking chairs. It seems I must be one of the more elderly members ofContinue reading “Wondering How and When”
La atención a los detalles
Buenas días de Hazleton, Last night I had an opportunity, thanks to the gift of a ticket, to see the USAF jazz band at the old senior high school in Hazleton, PA. I went with Señor y Señora Galán y Melissa. The ticket was a gift from their other daughter, Mery. The venue was simplyContinue reading “La atención a los detalles”
41 Years and a Walking Oxymoron
Good evening, good morning, good next day, I am sitting in my study after a day of working on cars and bikes and doing some cleaning, a day of planting and working in the yard, and a day of washing clothes, some planned and some unplanned. While I was up pretty early, that is theContinue reading “41 Years and a Walking Oxymoron”
One More Time
Good early morning, I have gone to bed for the day, but my brain seems to be in overdrive. It is early morning now . Part of that is due to life’s circumstance, part of it is because of the night’s conversation, and, yet again, part of it is because of my reflecting on theContinue reading “One More Time”
Creating Memories
Good morning on a cloudy and humid day, This morning began early 4:23 a.m. to be exact. It seems an aspirin taken to manage a fever last evening decided to raise havoc with my stomach. So after a bit of puttering around the house this morning, including a load or two of laundry, I wentContinue reading “Creating Memories”
Beset by Irony
Good evening, As I write this there is a group of students working on their Odyssey of the Mind project in the next room. I have watched the movie, The Last Samurai, for the umpteenth time, but it is a movie that inspires me. It inspires me to work to be a better person and to beContinue reading “Beset by Irony”
Laughing at Mistakes
Good Monday evening, I am in my study after a rather random weekend. As I noted in the last post, I did attend the Art Garfunkel concert Saturday night. While I went by myself, I did find out that another person I knew was headed to the concert also and she and her friend actuallyContinue reading “Laughing at Mistakes”
