Blessings to the families of all fallen soldiers, including my own. Uncle Sherwood, your legacy lives on.
The older I get, the more I understand. Though I will never support war…soldiers…I appreciate and respect.

A friend of mine told me that I needed to make sure that I was modeling my life after coffee beans.
???
Well, he said, when you put coffee beans in boiling water, nothing happens to the bean. The water doesn’t soften it, or ruin it. It doesn’t burn the bean, or split it open. Instead, what happens […]

Well, hello New York. It’s been a while. You still looking good, and oh so bad.  (sigh)

Well, not really. But kinda. In a roundabout way.
Last night I watched this movie, “Following,” about a writer who had an obsession with following people. Yep…just following people. Not necessarily stalking them, because in order to stalk you have to persist. He just liked picking people who looked interesting, and following them to their destination, to […]

It’s interesting. When we look at a machine, or a piece of art, or even a piece of clothing, we often observe through a macro lens. We (at least I) rarely take time to really break it down, and think of it as a sum of individual parts, each being intricate and important. Like books…we […]
