I can’t imagine what it would have been like to have to run through a minefield on a daily basis. They say there are still thousands of unidentified mines around Vietnam that maim people today. I remember a PBS broadcast … Continue reading Mindless Mines In The Fields Of Life

Here we are at the final “Into The Looking Glass” episode. But…in order to maintain my 500-word limit on my posts it will be in two parts. Tomorrow will be the last post on this insightful series. This period proves … Continue reading Into The Looking Glass – 2035 And Beyond Part 1
With this post I want to start out with a biology lesson. I kinda think that the word symbiosis will be much more common in the 21st century. After all that is the real basis for COVID-19. It is an … Continue reading Symbiosis: The Art of Living Together
I’ve been married 34 years now, so I have lots of stories about my wife that I want to tell here. So, that is going to be one of the topics on “Chill Out Weekends”. It will be entitled “Take My Wife”. That might seem like a weird title? But, we are a weird couple so that makes sense. But those words do have some history that I want to tell you a little about. Henny Youngman, who was famous for the title above was born in London England in 1906. He grew up in New York City and trained … Continue reading Take My Wife… Please
We made it to another 4th of July… Thank you Lord… I am holding off on all any celebrations until we have a reason to do so. Yeah, the pandemic has put a shadow on this day, but the current … Continue reading The 4th…
One of my primary mottos in life is to question everything. As you know that is one of the three things on my permanent header here at RJsCorner. Questioning everything is not limited to things I am told to accept without questions, they also include my current beliefs. That is what this two-part post is going to be about. The picture above does a pretty good job of visually describing how I see my life looking forwards and especially backwards. Because one life experience is just piled onto the top of others, there are no simple truths anymore. Your truth … Continue reading Getting To The Root Of It All … Part 1
For the most part my life has been pretty boring. I blame that on having my right brain squashed in my learning years! The nuns who taught me in grade school concentrated on Read’n, Write’n, and rithmetic. The small rural … Continue reading Right Brain Screaming
I am a list maker and planner, that is who I am, and due to my Aspie traits I put logical thinking above most emotions. In that regard, I realize that I will very likely outlive my wife by possibly … Continue reading Considering My Options For Future Living
It seems that the best argument that some have about not wearing a mask while in public is that it is “government intrusion into our personal lives!!!” They say they would rather die of the virus than wear a mask! … Continue reading Government Intrusion??
I don’t really remember where the title came from for this post, but I kinda think that getting paid for pro bono work means much more than money. In my pre-retirement life I just didn’t have the time to do … Continue reading Life Stories – I Do Pro-Bono Work, If The Price is Right
It’s been quite a while since I posted on weekends here on RJsCorner. I needed the time away to get my head into the proper perspective. With this post I am starting weekend posts once again, but it will be … Continue reading Weekends Are For Chilling Out.
It’s about time to forget the pandemic for a little while and do a post on self-reflections. I don’t know how it happened but when I look in the mirror each morning the old guy that I see looking back … Continue reading Reflections In The Mirror…
I have a friend on Facebook who has been using that media to make sure we all know that police officers are good people and protesters, especailly those who loot, are not so good. I have been tempted to get … Continue reading Good Cop… Bad Cop
This is a personal perspective of the years between 2000 and 2016. This post is not meant to provide you with a high-level view of the world during this period. Instead, it is from the viewpoint of the 54-year-old to … Continue reading Into The Looking Glass – 2000 – 2016
