The Beginning, Again
It’s that day again. On August 30, 2014 I began regularly posting in this spot, resurrecting a blog that had had one entry and then been temporarily abandoned. It is amazing I remembered the password. As I do every August 30, I’m going to look back and share some thoughts from that 2014 post, where […]
Back To The Pantheon
The Pantheon is one of my favorite spots to visit when in Rome. Can I tell you why? Part of it is definitely history. The building, now a Christian church, pre-dates Christianity. A lot has happened on this site over the years. It has been a place of worship for millennia. I’m sure part is […]
Overcomer
Imagine being a high school basketball coach, with expectations of a championship season. Then, due to economic upheaval, almost your whole team moves away. You are re-assigned to coach track and field, a team that consists of one asthmatic runner. What do you do? Such is the premise of Overcomer, the latest film from the […]
Sunrise Over Saco Bay
Vacation. It’s a magical word. A time for rest and relaxation (for the most part), for re-connection with God and man. In my case, a trip to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine on the American East Coast. For me this is one of the few places where I can place the cares of the […]
A Pause For Reflection
It is vacation time again. I really need this one, it has been a hectic year. So I’m going to do something really different. Normally I am working on at east a dozen different posts that are just a small edit away from being ready. That is true now also. But there hasn’t been time […]
Blue Dot, Purple Dot
I lost focus Wednesday. It can happen to anyone. I was a little distracted. I had decided not to post on Thursday because I wanted to expand on what I had written. I completely forgot that I had scheduled the post for publication while I was sleeping. So today you’ll get what you were supposed […]
Mr. Walker Had A Car
This post was first published four years ago. It came to mind last night for some reason. I’ve updated a couple of points. I was running errands with my mother. That means I drive her wherever she needs to go, wait until she is finished, then drive her to the next place she wants to […]
View From The Tower
My wife is the first to admit she has a talent she would rather not possess. I too find it annoying at times. If we are climbing a hill (and some days it seems that is all we do), whichever path she chooses will invariably turn out to be the steepest. Such was the case […]
Sunday Already
I’m taking the day off today. We’ll returned to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. I think.
Tasty Confusion
For me it was a new twist on pizza-making. I think I liked it. But it did take me aback at first. Do you see what they have done with this one? It was at Zeus 2, my favorite pizzeria in Germany. It is fairly new, an offshoot of Zeus Pizza which has been running […]
