Whenever I look in the mirror or get up out of a chair, I don’t see the white hair or hear the groans, instead I see my virtual 42 year old self. Continue reading I Don’t Belong Here
I was originally going to use RetCom Life (on the margins) to give you a month by month stories about my five years of living in a retirement community. But, the more I thought about it the more I wanted to just do it freestyle. Continue reading My Last Prologue, I Promise…

Philosophy and Reasoning have been high on my list for further study for a couple of years now. Before that it lingered in the back of my mind, but rarely came to the surface.

The words above have been my mantra of life for decades. Everyday I think about those three things, and make sure I am living up to them. I have lived with those words so long that I sometimes kinda naively think that most others do too. But, sometimes I get a figurative punch in the face to tell me otherwise.
