I enjoy playing guitar among other things
As a self-taught guitar player, I’ve been at it since 1969. I’ve never been able to read music any faster than Every-Good-Boy-Does-Fine, F, A, C, E. And I might add, I’m probably much slower than the time it took you to read this run-on sentence. Yeah, Bryan Adams and I didn’t know or grow up… Continue reading

There are so many things that interest me, including people to meet, places to go, and things to see and do. 7/27/25
Experience various cultures, particularly those of the most European nations, through aspects of daily life, such as cuisine, seasonal and holiday traditions, historical sites, and more. We believe that if time and budget permit, river cruises on the Danube and Rhine, or the St. Lawrence Fall Foliage Cruise here at home—which stops at ports in… Continue reading

Acts of Kindness should be kept private between you and the recipient, but I’ll share a few examples. 7/26/25
I have done many things as a kid that I’m sure others can relate to, such as mowing or shoveling an elderly neighbor’s lawn or pavement, and running errands. However, I would like to share two things about myself that not many people know. When I was 4 or 5 years old, before starting kindergarten,… Continue reading

Hardworking, Catholic, Family Man who loves and lives life to the fullest with a sense of humor. 7/25/25
Over the past 20 years, it has been a long time since anyone described me in words. However, back then, not just one, but two different waiters innocently asked me this question, and I might add, a year or so apart, at two different restaurants. Waiter #1: Excuse me, sir, but has anyone ever told… Continue reading

Growing Up in the Wonder Years with the Blue Laws and Everything seemed right in the world 7/24/25
As a child of the 1950s and 1960s, you may hear a parent, or more commonly, a grandparent, reminisce about how different life was when they were growing up during the Baby Boom era. This term refers to the period when children were born as soldiers returned home and started families after World War II… Continue reading

Every Day is a blessing, so first be grateful 7/23/25
Although yesterday, like many days, was similar, they all begin with me in a grateful prayer of thanks for being able to wake up to the new day’s challenges, opportunities, and experiences. Many of us share the same morning routines, such as showering, dressing, eating, planning, or getting kids ready and helping them into their… Continue reading

A great husband, father, grandfather, friend, and neighbor. Will have your back, just don’t cross me.
7/22/25 This is a prompt better answered by those who know me or have known me for some time. I was raised with values of humility, kindness, charity, and gratitude, and I prefer not to boast about myself. I cherish my friendships, and my friends will tell you that in your worst times, when the… Continue reading

Even Fred Flintstone would agree that would be a bad idea! 7/21/25
There’s a reason why dinosaurs are extinct. Why are we—or should I say, why are mad scientists-so fascinated with experimenting toward our own destruction? Isn’t it bad enough that they have already created atomic, hydrogen, and plutonium nuclear bombs that threaten mass destruction? Let’s have the so-called smart scientific types focus on curing cancer, dementia,… Continue reading

Ireland and the UK, here we come. Or maybe France to explore Paris and the wine region. 7/20/25
If this prompt is raised, the options are virtually limitless, influenced by factors such as the time of year, obtaining or updating your passport, converting dollars to euros, and the available itineraries. As we know, these trips can often be quite expensive even before you purchase the round-trip airfare. Now, if the prompt read, “all… Continue reading
