I guess now is the time of life where I am supposed to reflect on what I have done with the time that God still gives me. I spent too much of my time in the past wandering around in the wilderness of life. Too much dreaming, too much procrastination, too much overthinking Continue reading When You Don’t Know Where You Are Going, Every Road Takes You There
For this entire year of 2024, I have been withholding a lifestyle decision from you. Now that it is officially over, I thought I would tell you about it. But, first a little background story: Continue reading A Little Secret…
From a very young age, I was fascinated by architecture. I can draw the floor plan for any of the 17 different places I have lived in my life. The first one we moved out of when I was 4-years-old. That should have given me a clue as to what I should have become in the business world, but Continue reading Mosaic of Life #136 – Architectural Art
The picture above is synergy in the making. The two reenactors are from an event in Indiana, while the background is from Ft. Bridger in Wyoming. Putting the two together makes an image better than either alone. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #111 – The Beauty Of Duality
I love the challenge of figuring out what different acronyms stand for. Some are obvious, some, not so much. I have some that have guided me through life. I thought I would give a few of those. I don’t know if I invented them or just stolen them from others. Continue reading My Favorite Acronyms
I took this picture at the same place as yesterday’s post. The cattails, they are called reeds in Canada, just spoke to me. This is one of those instances that the on-line photo is actually better than the original, but … Continue reading Mosaic of Life #124 – Simplicity Personified…
I don’t know if it is just me, but I seem to be seeing all kinds of things that begin with “neuro” in the world today. I kinda think that the inner workings of the brain is the “Final Frontier”. Continue reading Neuro This… Neuro That…
We were about halfway through or 2011 Canadian adventure when we happened upon an Acadian village in New Brunswick, Canada. It was a very interesting place, but in my mind the star of it all was the old greeter above who welcomed us to his home. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #123 – My Old Canadian Buddy
I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised by this Doomdayer with his stern look amongst all those smiling and laughing people that Saturday night in Times Square. I think he is the first one I have even seen in person. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #134 – Those Poor Doomsayers…
During my travels across America, I have become fascinated with containers found in old-time general stores. This was probably the most complete store shelf I ever ran across. It was in The Museum of Appalachia near Norris, Tennessee. That is one of the top 10 places I have visited. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #121 – An Overdose of Containers
Mystic is simple mystical. It is perhaps the most beautiful place along the Atlantic seaboard. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #118 – Mystic, Connecticut
Even I, who frequently says that I get bored if things don’t change on a regular basis, sometimes get overwhelmed and ready to toss my Mac/streaming TV/cell phone out the window. When my Internet connects starts flashing yellow, my life stops in its tracks.
I built this birdhouse the first year at the homestead in 2000. I worked all summer to create the workshop of my dreams in a pole barn on the property. There was a lot of manure scooping and inside cribs removed. It would be my first sole proprietorship. I kept it for almost seven years before I had decided I sucked enough sawdust. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #113 Orange U Blue – I Am…
Everyone hates something or someone sometimes in their lives. But ingrained hatred is something that ruins lives because it is often so fixed into their brain, as to be almost impossible to conquer. The image above was taken at the “Brown vs Board of Education” National Historic Site in Topeka Kansas. The building is not a large one but contains many artifacts that will make you think about racial prejudice and particularly the Civil Rights era. Many of you probably recognize the picture as part of the Birmingham Alabama forced school integration. On September 10th, in 1963, twenty black students entered previously … Continue reading Mosaic of Life #130 Burning Hatred
