Beach Flashback
On Fridays this year I am reposting material from the same date in years past. This one comes from August 2, 2015. My vacation routine is unchanged – this is still the way I spend my days when on vacation. I don’t have anywhere near as much time to read for pleasure as I would like […]
Twitter and Free Speech
I found this post from January 2021 in my draft post file. No idea why it didn’t get posted back then. These days the name has changed, as Twitter is now X – but the issues remain the same. My 2024 reflections will be in italics at the end. I’m a big proponent of free […]
Beach Thoughts
Reading might be my favorite recreational activity. I use it to stimulate my brain – and to de-stress when i get over-stimulated. Today’s post on teh topic comes from August 2, 2015. I don’t have anywhere near as much time to read for pleasure as I would like – except when I am at the […]

Maybe that is due to a lack of friends with a sense of humor. Or of friends who would frequent a Christian site such as the Bee. Whatever the reason, last week Trump […]
The Banana Republic
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister was at the United Nations this week, demanding an apology from Canada. He feels Canada has treated his country like a “banana republic.” The dispute has been ongoing for a couple of months now – a textbook example of why Twitter shouldn’t be used for foreign policy. Canada’s foreign minister tweeted […]
Modern Times
Technology is everywhere. Last night it even invaded my dream life. Every dream I had revolved around Twitter. And I don’t even like Twitter. Dreams fade quickly when you retain consciousness, and I only remember one of them, probably the last one before I woke up. It involved Eric Clapton. I was at an Eric […]
Beach Reading
I don’t have anywhere near as much time to read for pleasure as I would like – except when I am at the beach. You can get through a lot of pages in those daily 12 hours. When I am on vacation I usually get to the beach (weather permitting) just after 6 a.m. I […]
