Twenty-seven school mass shootings in 2022, so far. That would be a horrible number if we were talking about the entire history of the world, but that is just the first half of 2022. When is enough going to be enough and when do we address the issue head on with substantial legislation? Is legislation…
I’ve been watching many sources of news trying to get a balanced feed of information. I’ve come to the conclusion that near one hundred percent of the people covering events are in agreement. We are in some very strange times, maybe even unprecedented and I think the majority of people are unclear of how to…
When I refer to fringe benefits, I’m referring to the marginal benefit of politics and that it isn’t anything new, but certainly either far right or far left. Absurdly, we have a handpicked Supreme Court that is set to overturn an almost fifty years ruling by the Supreme Court in 1973, when Roe v. Wade…
Every once in a while, just as you think you are figuring life out and all it has to give you, from nowhere, you’re thrown a curveball that makes you stand back and ponder. It comes in many forms and can be something very inward or openly involving others. One such moment happened to me…
Like just about everything in the world these days, there is a great divide over whether you support Will Smith or Chris Rock and the Oscars 2022 Incident. As crazy as it was to see it happen on live tv, we shouldn’t be astonished that it happened. We all thought it was fake at first….
Outside of being busy, I’ve neglected writing and the mind is beginning to get full of opinions to mumble about. So much so, I feel I’m walking around irritated about current events and wishing I was of an age to do something about it. Nothing more is on my mind than the madman in Russia,…
Dad and I had a good conversation this morning over coffee due to a couple of noteworthy news items over the last couple of days. Later in the morning Jen and I had another discussion about the same thing with a slightly different outcome. The difference in discussion is a reflection of what I feel…
As many know, Jen and I spent the second half of 2021 fully engaged in a total transformation of our grounds and recapturing a game room by converting the garage. We literally no sooner had the last landscaper leave as we had kids show up for Christmas week. Whew, and what a week it was….
This virus has America singing the blues for sure. Very few, if any, have had their lives uninterrupted or challenged life as normal for more than a year now. We had a blundering idiot president that didn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground trying to make decisions that were and still are…
In my lifetime I never, ever, imagined that the United States would more resemble a third world country itching for civil war than the democracy touting country we all love. On January 6th, while Congress was discharging their duty of the electoral vote certification and declaration of the president and vice-president of the United States,…
