Growing Tired

I started writing last night on something that I titled "Seven Days." It was fairly long and I finally came to a point of enough. Enough reasons why your guy was bad and why my guy will be good. As a libertarian, I don't believe in good guys, not in Washington. I rolled it into…

Cold Winter Days

It is early January and as I sit here in my sun room at my keyboard, I am watching the leaves run from right to left and then left to right. My chimes have been busy today. My desk faces the east and my bird feeders are in full view, no birds. Normally I can…

Hard Battles

Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. I wish I had said that but apparently Plato gets credit. I have also heard it with other variations. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind always. I like that one better so I suppose we can say that…

The Passing of a Friend

Like a dear family member who you will never be ready to let go of, I find myself saying goodbye to my old computer tower has been quite a bit harder than I expected. Completely unprepared to move on. We were just together last night. He seemed fine. He never let on anything was wrong.…

My Opinion

  A house divided against itself cannot stand. We cannot continue on this path. It is almost impossible to read anything written by anyone and take it at face value. Everything is agenda driven.  I am a reasonable person. I love listening to views that differ with mine. What I don't like is listening to the…
