John Pavlovitz continues to inspire me as a blogger, an American, and a Christian. I can’t imagine being as productive a blogger as he is! I often struggle to find the words to adequately express my feeling whereas he seems to do it effortlessly. This post is about his words above.

We seem to be facing crisis after crisis due primarily to some of us refusing to face facts that others are screaming are critical. There are two areas that stand out to me and that is what his post is all about.

I am a dreamer to my core; it is just who I am.That is simultaneously a curse and a blessing.I recognize how things are but imagine them to be better.There is no place better to do that than Mesa VerdeMy first visit there seemed almost spiritual.I could almost see my ancestors living their daily lives.How they got there no one really knows.Why they left is pretty much the same.The stone and adobe walls they built are still there.I touched them and dreamed I was among them.In their isolation they lived in peaceful harmony with nature.But that is kinda the Native … Continue reading Painting with Words – Mesa Verde
Rudy is certainly the right pick for #CO3’s personal lawyer. They are both equally crazy… :) Continue reading Cartoon Tuesday – NYC Clown
I’m pretty sure my roots go back to Great Britain, so maybe that is the reason I have such a kindred relationship with things Canadian. They still have the basic sense of being British engrained in them. :) The quote above is from Martha Atwood who is Canadian and the author of “The Handmaid’s Tale”.
When I heard the quote in the title from her it made me think just how fundamentally different Canadians are from their southern neighbors. That and a photo gallery of my 2011-month-long visit is what this post is about.

This young lady has certainly taken world center stage lately. I just hope some inside the beltway are paying attention. But I kinda doubt it… I will have much more about her in near future posts. Continue reading Greta Thunberg…
Sometimes the journey into retirement just isn’t very joyous, in fact it can be a down right painful journey at times.
Like almost all of us I had many challenges in my early retirement years. I started my retirement from the corporate world at age 54 and like the cartoon above, I didn’t really have any retirement plan to guide me. The first few years were difficult but now after almost twenty years I think I have finally gotten most of it right.
This post is about the biggest shock among the many I encountered.

I envy many people for the talents they possess. Certainly, near the top are cartoonists. I wish I could do that but I simply don’t have the capacity for that endeavor. To kinda live through them I want to take Tuesdays to celebrate their work. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words. Continue reading Oh, Those Cartoons…
This post is about how an idea that died, or maybe I should say killed by corporate America is now new again. It seems that the Business Roundtable, which is a group of 188 CEOs has decided that corporations should be accountable to more than just its stockholders. The three-legged stool is finally being resurrected again, and none too soon.

This is an easy one. It is from New York City. Care to Guess?? Continue reading Augmented Reality #11
It’s been eleven years since the Canada trip.How could time have flown by so fast?It was a month long adventure that I won’t forget.Especially that sunrise along the St. Lawrence Seaway.We were traveling in the hinterland between cities.We were determined to follow the Seaway to its source.It was getting dark so our attention was for a place to sleep.We feared we might have to sleep in the car.Then there suddenly a small sign on the side of the road.We were desperate so we took a chance.The person in the small shack labeled “Office” only spoke French.But his wife knew English.She … Continue reading A Morning On The St. Lawrence Seaway.
They say personal letter writing is a thing of the past, but maybe that is something that has just been modernized via the electronic medium. Does it really matter that the message comes on a screen instead of paper and ink?

There are times when it serves the interest of the population as a whole to have a mandatory retirement age in place. Some of the professions below are about mental acuity, some are about physical stamina. One thing they all share is that they serve the public at large.

I know I have put the above photo here before but I just think it deserves a Saturday artsy posting all by itself. It was taken in Montreal Canada in 2011. There was a second one just down the block. Yes, it is a real house but not an x-ray view. :) Continue reading Artsy, Fartsy…
