There are just too many people who are risk-averse in this world today. They think being wrong is some grave thing to be avoided if at all possible.

I’ve learned a lot about creativity in the last few years. So, I thought I would give you a sample of those lessons from my other blog at RJsArtsySide. Continue reading A Snippet from RJsArtsySide
Like Superman, I need my Fortress of Solitude. I need a place where I can live life on my own (LOMO) for whatever time I have left on this earth. After four years of trying to create it, I think it is finally done. Continue reading My Fortress Of Solitude

While living in New Jersey in 1998, we took a trip through the Fingerlakes region of New York. This picture was taken at the Glenora Winery. It was just opening and was a fabulous place. I will always love this … Continue reading MME47 – The FingerLakes
For this Sunday I have again decided to pull a post from my legacy blog at RedLetterLiving.net (Click on the logo above to see RLL). It was originally posted 13 years ago, but it seems to be more relevant to today’s version of Christianity We forget to distinguish between history as a record of the elites and history as a record of the people. While most academics concentrate on the theologians who wrote the treatises and on the bishops who argued about questions of authority, the most important constituency of all gets left out: the vast majority of ordinary people … Continue reading Just Ordinary People….
Being deaf for 35 years now, I usually don’t pay much attention to musical presentations here at my RetCom (retirement community). But this last April there was one that I attended. It was an African Drums Presentation. Drums are one … Continue reading MME58 – RetCom Drums
RJsCorner has been about several different things throughout its 17-year history. I truly believe that it has finally evolved into its true purpose, and that is:
Having My Say — Life on the Margins — My Artsy Side
Let’s look at these three topics Continue reading RJsCorner – The Final Frontier
When I was a kid I often heard that the USA was the great American melting pot. To me that implied that when people came to this country they gave up all their traditions and heritage and merged seamlessly into … Continue reading A Melting Pot vs. A Stew….
In my 78th year, brain fog seems to be a common occurence. Some morning I get up and am immediately ready to do some serious writing/blogging right off the bat. And then there are others when I can’t even seem to find my desk. Continue reading Brain Fog
“All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few” — Stendhal (1783-1842) — The more I read about the history of religion the more I can begin to see that it has been … Continue reading All Religions Are Founded…
I thought someone might appreciate my new artsy plant stand for displaying my ever-increasing plant collection. The stand itself is very artsy. I like that. Continue reading HMS – My New Plant Stand
Just in case you haven’t gotten the message before. (I have very busy margins) Continue reading A Busy Margin
You might notice that there is one green apple among several red ones. It’s kinda symbolic that they are in a crystal bowl. You might say this iconically represents my life. I seem to always be the one that sticks … Continue reading Odd One Out
I don’t know why I haven’t included this photo in my CLA portfolio. But then again, I don’t know why I put anything in my CLA portfolio. It was taken in Louisville, KY in2010. That’s me and my wife trapped … Continue reading MME3 – Odd One Out Reflections
Singlehood is a new term for me, but I have lived much of my life in that mode. I have coined a phrase “LOMO – Life On My Own” to describe it. In my prime days, it was called being a bachelor. Continue reading About Singlehood….
I have been working hard at letting go of things that negatively affect my mood. Of course, politics is a prime example, but it goes beyond that. I want to forget all of those things and just live the life I have left in a “Life of Riley” mode. Continue reading The Life Of Riley
Being a Bob Dylan fan, but only during his folk music years, I thought it appropriate to use his words for this post. I have been posting at RJsCorner for sixteen years now. It’s time to move on. With this post, I want to tell you why. A good part of my corporate world work life was spent fixing processes and building software tools to do that. It seems I never saw a process that I didn’t think could be made better. I was pretty successful at accomplishing that as I got some serious recognition for my work and a … Continue reading The Times, They Are a Changing…
I have decided that starting today, I am pausing my scheduled weekly posts and just writing about what I am feeling each day. That is, I will be treating RJsCorner as what its title says as a daily journal of … Continue reading Taking A Different Path…
I need more balance in my life and especially in my blogging. Part of my base character that is associated with my Asperger’s traits is I tend to become obsessively focused on something and everything else just falls by the wayside. The day-to-day insanity coming from the Oval Office along with the now weekly mass killings is putting me over the edge. I have to force myself to greatly diminish my attention to these subjects. To do that I am now going to try to broaden the scope of coverage here at RJsCorner. As you can see from the header … Continue reading I Need More Balance…
