I have found that the easiest way to get a complement these days is to tell people that I'm ten years older than I really am. People can't believe that I'm almost 75. ws
Growing Apart.
In the process of trying to understand what causes two people to grow apart, and once safely past the name calling and blame, the sheer vastness of distance between the persons involved can be very humbling. The journey apart may have taken years. It is hard to make up that distance, and that knowledge is…
No Do Overs Here.
I am having more bouts with melancholy these days, and I don't know why. I'm sure I know part of why, but it's deeper than that. More layered than that. So as I look outward, I also find myself looking inward as well for things I've missed that were obvious to others. I have a…
The questions never really changed.
As a very young child, I remember two reoccurring questions that would run through my mind randomly. It was always like I was on the verge of, but could never quite work out the answer. Who am I? Why am I here? Looking back, this seems like a very profound thing for a child of…

A Festering Wound, Unattended.
Unattended. We are spending quite a bit of time in Florida right now and we were standing in line at a popular local seafood place in Fort Myers when a woman in front of us asked why the flag was flying at half staff and my wife said to honor Rush Limbaugh. This woman loved…
Peaceful Transition Tomorrow.
This isn't going to be about a stolen election but when I die, somewhere in my obituary, if free speech is still allowed, there will be something along the lines of... Today Wayne got his wings and them damn democrats, with the help of them damn Chinese, stole that damn election back in 2020. I…
Coming To Terms With 2020.
What does that even mean? It's Christmas eve and I honestly feel like there is still plenty of poo left to step in between now and the end of the year. I can even see the hangered look in my eyes in this year that began with an effort to impeach a president with absolutely…
