It’s Tomorrow Already

All of yesterday’s tomorrows are here, right now.


I’ve heard the saying, “Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow.” I’m not sure what to do with that statement now that the world…

Mr. Mikel

Some folks will live forever. I hope that I do in some way. Let me ramble on about this for a bit.

I have encouraged Friends to write books, particularly autobiographies. Just a few copies hardback and bound to…

It's a Ramble

My thoughts and I always seem to get around to something too far from where two of us started but somehow too related to the next two we had before we thought of this one.

Ask anyone else the same…

Hey, Waldo!

I'm sure there are lots of qualifications for certain jobs. A lot of high level government jobs seem to have no qualifications whatsoever. Along that same line, many of those positions are being filled by appointees that have the exact

Four Weeks

VOTE! 

You have probably heard the phrase about hindsight being 20/20? It's all about looking back at past events and wondering what we could have done differently and better. Oh, not making the same mistake twice would fall in there

Hav-a-Hank

Things come up, ya' know? Like days that always end, right on time, all the time. Right there's what's on my mind. Time. I miss a deadline or nine every once in a while and again.

Gone to the Dogs

The "Tenner" shoe was designed and invented by Alfred Lloyd Tenner. That's where they got their name and at the time only cost $10. Really, Tenner shoes were invented by Alfred Lloyd Tenner's son, but he was too busy running

Moon, Mars, and a Little Blue Dot

The Canine American took me out for a stroll this evening. She usually  does. I'd get lonely sitting here while she's outside sniffing on everything.  We're walking, she sees something. She's bent down trying to look between pine trees and…

Leave the Light On for Me

Never wonder where you would be if you weren't where you were at the time. I think I lost three years of my life when that last happened. I have a pretty good idea of where I could have been

Built a Mountain, One Stone at a Time

I don't know one rock from another, pretty much. But I do know the difference between a rock and Iraq. That's a frequent topic, eh? None of that today. I will say that I'd know a gneiss rock if I
