Sunrise At Last
Some people sleep in on vacation. Not me. A good day is when I am up in time to see the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. On this year’s annual pilgrimage to Maine, it seemed that I wasn’t going to see a sunrise. Cloud and wildfire smoke seemed to limit the view every morning. […]
Procrastination
There really is nothing more I can say. When I read this in someone’s Facebook post I immediately recognized myself. I’m pretty good with deadlines. Always have been. Though I had a tendency in school to start writing papers the day they were due. That worked until I hit the Masters level – 30 pages […]
The Collection
With the latest downsizing, I have managed to cull my collection so that now it only fills three bookcases. With some shelves having two rows of books. And books piled on top of the bookcases. I’ve gotten rid of hundreds of books this year. Actually, probably more than a thousand. I miss them. But there […]
Under The Bus
It’s been more than eight months since Donald Trump said he could end the Russo-Ukraine War in a day. Today in Munich, I mean Alaska, he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to push for a deal. Certainly the deal is there to be made, as long as it is on Putin’s terms. If […]

The Donor
If your blood is still inside you, why not become a blood donor? The need is there, the supply limited.
Is This Funny?
I thought it was, but maybe I’m just a fan of toilet humor. For the record, I have never dropped my phone in the toilet. Which may be because I don’t use the room to make or answer calls.
Words in the Sand
Two words drawn in the sand at low tide provided the direction for my thoughts Wednesday as I walked along the beach just after sunrise: Trust God. Easier said than done. We live in an era and among a people that distrusts authority, while at the same time believing anything and everything we see on […]
Sunrise…Sort of
About this time each year I share photos of the sunrise over Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I expected to to do that again today. Except, even though I have been on the beach before 5:30 each morning this week, I haven’t seen any sunrises. Some days it has been cloudy, others hazy (possibly wildfire smoke […]
