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…
I’ve been watching with some humor at how many of the Trump prodigy are getting in trouble, under investigation, saying repetitive idiotic nonsense and just overall ignorant crap on a day to day basis.

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,…
Do you ever wonder if the members of your family would have a relationship with you if you weren’t family? I often wonder that very thing. It’s not from a position of do they love me type thing, no it is more from a if we were not family would we be friend’s thing and…
