We are not world travelers by any means, but we have been to Canada twice, Alaska, with a cruise down the Inside Passage to Vancouver, and Italy, which to date has been our favorite. My wife and I have seen a significant portion of the USA, but we have yet to visit the Grand Canyon.… Continue reading

Here’s Looking Back at You, Kid! Happy Father’s Day 6/15/25
This question is tricky for me to define objectively and humbly from my perspective. Growing up in a Catholic home and attending a Catholic school, we were always taught not to boast or brag about ourselves.

I’m a Retiree for 11 Years, and I Highly Recommend It! Happy Father’s Day Weekend! 6/14/25
I worked for the same company for 42 years and retired early at the age of 58 after being approved for disability following several surgeries. I didn’t want anyone’s sympathy then, nor do I now; it’s simply a fact of my life. From the time I was young enough to push a lawn mower—when electric… Continue reading

Theodore B. Starr Grandfather Clock 6/13/25

I Was Blessed to Wake… 6/11/25
Usually, I wake with a thoughtful, silent prayer of thanks to God for allowing me to look upon this day He has created. As I type today’s prompt just after briefly watching the News globally and locally, especially the chaos happening in our cities, it gives a moment of repose on the “why”? I choose… Continue reading

My desire is to use my God given talent to leave a mark that will hopefully last beyond our years.

World Series, Football, Halloween, Fall Colors, Thanksgiving 6/9/25
If you hadn’t guessed by now Fall. Autumn for me is always a time of change and a chance at new opportunities and possibilities. Losing the heat of Summer, like the changing tides to the cooler, crisp, more colorful Fall days. Baseball, Beach Umbrellas, waves, shorts and tees, and swimwear; give way to Football, rain… Continue reading

Firm Bed, Stove, Public Hot/Cold Water & Electricity? You Got to Be Kidding 1/8/25
Now, if we’re talking living off the grid, I would definitely need a high-powered semi-automatic rifle with plenty of ammo, an endless supply of matches, a military hammer axe with shovel, Rambo knife, you know the one with all the cool things in the handle (compass, fishing line, sharpening tool). This question is very vague.… Continue reading

“All Work and No Play Makes Dan a Dull Boy…So Stay thirsty My friends” 6/7/25
Tweaking a line from Steven King, with a twist of Dos Equis, pretty much covers it pretty well. Suppose it is a fun catchline or phrase about enjoying life’s pleasures, simple or not. In that case, you can pretty much count me in, as long as it doesn’t involve me jumping out of a perfectly… Continue reading
