  • Believe in Life

    C atching up. Or, Ketchup. Just as I predicated, violence begets violence. There was a protest in Wisconsin. Black people came out to protest the Rittenhouse Verdict. Standing guard on the perimeter where serious looking Black men armed with long guns also known as AR-15s. That verdict made everyone fair game on the street. We…

  • The Middle Ages

    M y thoughts brought me to a couple of places. As events start to close down I’ve been thinking about anniversaries. This picture of a flambeaux during Mardi Gras is a great example of that. It’s just a picture, right? Maybe. To me it means a lot. I was suffering during Mardi Gras 2020. I…

In the House of Representatives. And, in the Senate. Now, he is dying of brain cancer. A particularly virulent strain that also…

  • A Very Hard Day

    I have no words. The events in Boston have left me speechless. Be good to each other. Be good to yourselves. Say a prayer. Peace. Ray
