As we go through life, many words we hear strike us and remain with us throughout our life for many reasons. They may be life changing; they may be simply words of wisdom; they could have taught us a lesson; they may just have been catchy and just...

Many years ago, one of my favorite newspaper columnists was a gentleman named Phil Musick. Occassionally, he would write an article titled the same way as I did mine today. I enjoyed most of those articles. Here's another version of mine. Octobe...

Never Fear Dying, Fear Never Living

As we go through life, many words we hear strike us and remain with us throughout our life for many reasons. They may be life changing; they may be simply words of wisdom; they could have taught us a lesson; they may just have been catchy and just stuck in our cranium for further usage. A few favorites of mine, over the years, have been, "Plan your work and work your plan" , "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, then to open it and remove all doubt" and "If you can't dazzle th… Continue

Roads and Friends

So many roads, so many people. several choices, some free and some with tolls.

October brings grilled cheese, chili, and other comfort foods that are good for the soul.

The temperature changes remind me of my dad and his sweaters, and Mister Rogers too. May they both rest in peace!

October brings leave color changes, wind shift change… Continue

Somethings I think I think ( As I go on )

As I get older, I seem to be less intolerant of irresponsible people

Topping that list of irresponsibility is deadbeat dads

Sometimes when you extend that olive branch you get smacked with it

The sun rising on a cloudless day is a beautiful thing

Having said that, I'm glad I work midnights so I see more of them

My kids,grandkids and my friends keep my heart warm and alive with love

Self infliction of pain does not change much and just adds to the initial pain you had

Sometimes working
