Oh my, where do I start? I guess I start with recognizing the fact that it has been several months since the last time that I really sat down to write something, to create, to formulate frames, thoughts, and ideas through the use of words. Then I suppose I should include the fact that I went to see The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, The Best of TSO and More Tour 2017 on Saturday, November 25th in Continue Reading...
2016 Election From A Small State Where It All Begins
It's after 1am. I am wide awake. I couldn't sleep if I wanted to. Not now anyways. This election for the President of the United States is not over, yet. Sitting here, I can still see Hillary Clinton pulling this out, and I can also see Donald J. Trump winning this election. Time will tell, and soon (hopefully). Unfortunately, I have spent too much time on social media recently, mostly reading Continue Reading...

God Bless the USA, Let’s Pray
I don’t need science to tell me that meditation repairs brain matter Just bow your head and talk to Him, void of all the societal chatter See, there are places all around you can find a spot filled in silence Here, at least for now, my walk and talk with Jesus, is my license Go to some quiet place, exhale, bow in reverence, and just pray List every little thing you are Continue Reading...
#NeverForget
I wrote this in 2011, and this post has been a permanent page on my blog, and still is. This morning, I remember. This page is a place to more permanently keep this close at hand.

That evening into the wee hours of the Continue Reading...
It’s Memorial Day – Remember Them All
Memorial Day - Remember Them All. Lest we forget. Please remember what Memorial Day is about. This weekend is the unofficial American kick-off to summer. We celebrate freedom with picnics, parades, and backyard barbecues. With the weather we are getting here in the Northeast, it feels like summer already. It’s Memorial Day Weekend. So, without further adieu, I will get to the point. As Continue Reading...
Remembering Pearl Harbor
There are a lot of people, memories, and events that I focus on in December. One I try never to forget is remembering Pearl Harbor. It was before my time but it did in fact shape a period of time and altered the course of history. I am remembering, and I'm very thankful to be an American afforded with the opportunities I have, because people before me wouldn't let freedom be snatched from them. Continue Reading...
Our National Anthem
It's a cool, clear, crisp autumn morning and I temporarily lose the ability to discern depth by gazing deeper and deeper into the vastness of blue above me. In the background, I am listening to a loop of various renditions of our National Anthem. This version has become one of my personal favorites. Sometimes I sing the words, sometimes I hum a bit, and sometimes the emotion just makes my voice Continue Reading...
