Not that long ago, Christmas was only one day… December 25th. People didn’t put up their trees until the night before and shopping didn’t start until around the 20th. Forget about stores advertising about sales and buying quickly. Movies that illustrate this are: “A Christmas Story” set in 1939 “Love Finds Andy Hardy” set inContinue reading “December (and November) Magic”

Gun Violence
There is so much going on in the world these days, so much loss and destruction from forest fires to earthquakes to hurricanes and especially a pandemic. These are natural-born events. But there are also man-made destruction events such as car accidents and plane crashes, building fires, mudslides, floods, and war. And the way weContinue reading “Gun Violence”
Young Writers
Illustory: Write and Illustrate a Professionally Produced Book I bought this years ago for my daughter when she was about 9. She died when she was 16 and I still have the book she wrote, illustrated, and published with this product. It’s now been 20 years since she died and I treasure this book.

Banging My Head Against the Wall
I know I expected too much for Trump and his cult followers to accept the election results gracefully. But they are not. They still insist that it was rigged, and they are half right. Trump rigged it in his favor, which worked the first time, but not the second. And he is pissed because hisContinue reading “Banging My Head Against the Wall”
Strawberry Moon
Strawberry Moon… isn’t that the name of wine from the 60s and 70s? No, I’m just a little confused. “The first full moon of summer 2021, also known as the Strawberry Moon, rises tonight (June 24), marking the last supermoon of the year. June’s full moon arrives Thursday (June 24) at 2:40 p.m. EDT (1940 GMT). Technically, the moonContinue reading “Strawberry Moon”

For those who still aren’t sure what this nationally recognized holiday is all about, here is some information about the history of Juneteenth. “Juneteenth, an annual holiday commemorating the end of slaveryContinue reading “White Supremacy (shaking my head)”
American Conservative Party
It seems like Americans love to create groups to be a member of. You see that online. It’s common in religion. And there are dozens of political parties, most of which no one is aware of. Any time someone gets their nose out of joint by something someone said or did, they’d go off onContinue reading “American Conservative Party”
Unique Classic Cars
I’m not a car nut, but I love the design factor of unique classic cars, like these… 1938 Dymaxion. The streamlined Dymaxion car was designed by American inventor Buckminster Fuller during the Great Depression. Success of the design was realized in its performance efficiencies: the car could transport up to 11 passengers, reach speeds of up to 90 milesContinue reading “Unique Classic Cars”
Pride Month
How to safely celebrate Pride Month in 2021: Remember, not everyone is out. Ensure access for disabled and immunocompromised individuals. True pride happens when every single member of our community can access events and be involved. An event that does not take into consideration disabled access or financial access is no genuine pride. The communityContinue reading “Pride Month”
