161. Father's Day
June 18, 2011
My father left this blue, rocky orb three days after Christmas six years ago, but in his last look I recognized contentment; a circle closed; a job complete; a battle won. During his lifetime he requested very little of me other than to be a gentleman; mainly that I honor my mother and watch out for...

162. BIRTHDAYS! (sigh)
June 12, 2011
Well, here it is; that day again, June 12. Exactly 20 years ago I promised myself that I would nurture each coming day and squeeze every last second for meaning and quality. I figured by having that kind of focus and awareness the days would last longer; and time would go slower. Instead, it has bee...

163. OMG! It's the End of the World!
May 25, 2011
Here it is May and I’m in Indianapolis. The locals are looking forward to the big race, the Indy 500, with delightful anticipation. I attended the experience long ago. What I recall most was 300,000 fans drinking with reckless abandon, and crashing into each other as they exited the track. Fisticuff...

164. Politics & Civility
May 07, 2011
Recently I wrote a tongue-in-cheek article entitled, “The Downfall of Practically Everybody and Everything”. I made observations relative to the creeping loss of societal politeness and graciousness as my life proceeds toward an inevitable biological event. As if to punctuate a temporary darkness in...

165. The Downfall of Practically Everybody & Everything
April 23, 2011
My friend Dennis and I left the Midwest for the sun-splashed beaches and the bikini-clad girls of southern California two days after Christmas. We strapped everything we owned on his Triumph TR-3 roadster and hit the open road arriving at his brother’s home in Orange County on New Year’s Day. ...

166. Writing for Joy
April 02, 2011
Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself. --- Mahatma Gandhi Things won are done; joy’s soul lies in the doing. -- William Shakespeare I was recently invited to speak at a writer’s workshop called, “Create Your Own Story” held at...

167. Kingsbury Park
March 23, 2011
Once upon a time…
…there was a tranquil, pristine, middle-class town in Northwest Ohio that was a picture of the American dream. The downtown resembled Main Street at Disneyland. It really did. There were two five-and-dimes, malt shops, men’s and women’s clothing stores, banks, bakeries, har...

168. Congressional Hearings: Home-Grown Islamic Terror
March 13, 2011
Some time ago… I waited patiently in the Customs queue at Riyadh. The flight from Houston through Paris via Air France had been tiring. I hoped someone was meeting my flight. “You plan to play tennis?” The voice came from the gentleman behind me, a pleasant-looking Pakistani. He was ...

169. How "Real" Change Occurs
March 12, 2011
During the last presidential election cycle, the winning candidate promised sweeping change especially in the way the federal government does business, and as typical, he did not deliver. We’re getting more of the same old, same old... But why be surprised? These folks (democrats and GOP) are politi...

170. The Crowded Sky
March 06, 2011
I boarded the CRJ Bombardier early with the first group on account o’ I had almost two million miles with the air carrier. The aircraft was designed to carry 70 passengers of so-called normal dimensions. What I mean is that my six-eight brother would not have been able to walk upright nor sit withou...
