Hello from the road, Sunday on the road is not a preference, but it’s the reality of my last 11 days. As I begin this post, we are on 80W almost to North Platte, NE.

“Gunsmoke” and Popcorn
Hello from the front seat of a Jeep Wagoneer, As my friend, Kay, a pioneering person in her rite, notes that somehow my brain does not slow down, as I am riding (or driving) it jumps into overdrive.

Our Obsequious Country
Hello from the world of the unexpected daily events, While many of us want to point the finger at the President, the Congress, the SCOTUS, the other party, the media, there is something significant in all of it. We are blamers. We want to incriminate the other while playing victim ourselves. However, in doing soContinue reading “Our Obsequious Country”
Appreciating Students

Lee and Judy
Hello on an incredibly foggy morning, Last night as I was looking at my Facebook feed, there was a comment on a picture that was taken about 5 years ago.

Intent and Consequence
Hello at the end of a variable month, This week we’ve ushered in the fall, the harvest- and color-centric of the seasons.

“Miracles Out of [Seemingly] Nowhere”
Hello as Autumn has arrived, While cooler, foggier mornings, nights without a need for air conditioning, and the turning of leaves into a painter’s pallet provide some experiential insight that something is happening, the calendar shouts out, that fall is upon us. Many people, myself included, often without prompting that this is their favorite timeContinue reading ““Miracles Out of [Seemingly] Nowhere””
The Systematic Practice of Dialectic
Hello on a September evening, Yesterday was Mexican Independence Day, and it was also my birthday. It was a very nice day, first because the weather was fabulous; and second, because of the incredible number of people who took time out of their busy lives to wish me a special day. Across the various platformsContinue reading “The Systematic Practice of Dialectic”
