I'm in my 60's and finally feel comfortable about myself, what I've accomplished, and where I'm headed. I'm relieved I have an outlet for a release of my own pent-up thoughts. All my life, thoughts have circled in my head with no direction of what to do with them. This space gives me a place to park them and move on.
  • Writing

    Writers are a strange breed. Successful ones seem to have found the secret sauce. For many years of practice and dedication to writing seem to improve their style and ability to elicit a response with their words. I love to read and I love to write, but I don’t profess to be good, interesting, and…

    Times Past Coping

    In these days of more and more uncertainty, I find myself reminiscing of times with happiness and a blissful unawareness to politics, health insurance, and all the adult things we have to think about these days. The insanity in our federal government and chiefly our illustrious buffoon of a president and all his minions is…

  • Angry at My America

    When I was a kid, I never paid attention to politics and current events. I watch my granddaughter now living next door and am transported to a day when I was oblivious to things that make us adults shutter with horror. The Gestapo, aka ICE, has done it again and murdered another citizen of the…

  • Couldn’t Have Imagined

    Over a year ago, we all knew this country was putting a lunatic back into the highest office in this country. Mexican Americans, black males, and numerous swing voters tired of Biden’s ineffectiveness with a supporting Congress, and yet he was fixated on making sure everything was bipartisan, were tired of the ineffectiveness of the…

  • Retirement Realizations

    Recently, I’ve been coming to some realizations about being retired. This epiphany isn’t seen more than when it comes to retirement income and trying to get a home loan. Since retirement, we have been working hard at remodeling our home. We have spent money we had from various sources knowing that we were building equity…

  • Patience

    Or the lack of. I don’t seem to have as much as I used too. I was much better at dividing the smaller things from the bigger things and as the old saying goes, don’t sweat the little stuff. Except, these days I seem to sweat small, large, inconsequential, or consequential. I fret and worry…

    Honorable Things

    These days its harder to find the things we can consider honorable. I say things because it isn’t just people that should be honorable, but it also includes entities, such as businesses that should be held to a higher standard of honor. Politics has become something less than honorable, if not downright disrespectful. I’m not…

    WTF

    A few day ago, the Douchebag of War, otherwise known as the Secretary of Defense and ex-Fox commentor, P. Hegseth and the Rambler and Chief DT had all the senior enlisted and generals and admirals come to Quantico for a political rally. Problem is that the military as with all Federal employees are covered by…

  • I Did It

    In the recent years, my body seems in revolt to the things I chose to do throughout my life. Early on in my life I chose many things that ultimately began a spiral of events in my fifties and sixties giving me pause of how I’m going to deal with my seventies and eighties. I…
