“Oh what a gloomy day”…. a phrase my mother would utter when the weather was dark and rainy, and gloomy ….. a day somewhat like today. The weather would really affect how she felt. If it was a bright sunshiny day, she perked up; if it was a gloomy day, she would be a bit down. Research indicates … Continue reading “Sunshine In The Rain”

“EXTRA, EXTRA …… GOOD NEWS !!!”
Recent BLOGS have been pointed toward some pretty serious stuff. I feel like we need to take a little break and “lighten things up a bit”. Let’s search for a topic that is a bit more light hearted.

Yet, what about the title…. what will the title be? I have had the privilege of knowing … Continue reading “A Good Guy”
“Having A Big Mouth Is Not Always Bad”

When his latest scheme would come crashing down, he would often shout in desperation, “YOU KNOW WHAT NORTON, I’VE GOT … Continue reading “Having A Big Mouth Is Not Always Bad”
“Friends In Heaven, When All Injuries Shall Be Forgotten”
I just read a story about Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neil. “Reagan, the 40th President of the United States and O’Neill, Speaker of the House of Representatives, were two political opposites…. fierce adversaries. The story goes that following the assassination attempt on Reagan, O’Neill was one of the first people to visit him at George Washington … Continue reading “Friends In Heaven, When All Injuries Shall Be Forgotten”
“Crossing The Bridge”
Transitions are often difficult. They come in different shapes and sizes all our life…. sometimes they seem to come every week or month… other times they come every few years, or as our stage in lifechanges. Crossing the bridge to the next moment is often not easy. I remember being at Camp Chaminade, a two week … Continue reading “Crossing The Bridge”
