Hello Kiddos So this is the 100th post about Why Life is Great and other stuff too! The old man is asking himself if this is really worth doing? Like sit-ups, vitamins, or flossing – are they really worth it? Let’s face it, I got an audience of 3-4 people. The answer is YES because […]

Alright kids Spring is here and soon summer will follow. Now I don’t know with climate change if it will become all summer, all the time where we live, but one thing is for sure – we will need hats.  Hats are readily available and they come in many shapes and sizes and that makes […]

Dear Sister, Last Friday, your father and I went to see Mohsen Janatpour, M.S. give a talk on art. I thought it was actually really cool and I understood every single word he said. And that’s what makes life grand. Understanding and learning from smart people. There was one person in that room that was […]

Dear Daughter Yeah, it’s going to be a tough week, but you know what? The daughter I know will just face it with a great attitude. She will attack what needs to be done, do her best, and whatever the results – forget about it! You’re just too cool to care! Hang in there kiddo, […]

WARNING: I don’t know if this post is really meant for  anyone other than  myself. It’s really just a long confessional. This really went off the rails! So I lost a friend on Monday. Bruce Robertson passed on April 9, 2018. This was an odd friendship, I can’t say that I really knew Bruce, he […]

Dear Son & Daughter Alright, I’m going to stop playing favorites and add my son to this blog too. The big guy is equally as stressed as his sister as he studies for some graduate programs and begins to contemplate what he’s going to do with his life and is starting to realize that while […]

Dear Daughter Your father must have been kidnapped by gypsies) or something because it’s been forever since I wrote anything in this blog.
