“Trumped!”
The following are not my words. I found this on facebook and thought it was quite a different look at Mr Trump’s impact on the presidential campaign…enjoy OR not. “Last night a friend claimed that Donald Trump wouldn’t make a good president; he is brash, he is racist, he is a loudmouth; you know theContinue reading ““Trumped!””

Today August 8th, is our 19th wedding anniversary… Last time, my dear reader, I told you about the anger that I was feeling.

“Without Her: Anger”
I have stacks and stacks of papers and letters on my bed, desk, chair and ottoman. I now nap (I don’t really sleep) with half my bed covered in bills, letter…and newspapers.

“Chasing The Elusive Pink Unicorn”
The other day my wife and I were helping our oldest daughter home after giving birth to another grandchild. Bags and baby in tow, we slipped into a cab and headed home towards the Bronx. The driver politely ask if the air conditioning was okay. I answered “yes” then he asked about the music…againContinue reading ““Chasing The Elusive Pink Unicorn””
Faith
Faith… Trusting and believing in something you can not see, feel or even touch. And hoping, no, knowing that it is there. One dictionary described it as putting your full weight on something. Interesting right?! We exercise faith everyday. For example, we step into elevators with no thought to how they are made, if itContinue reading “Faith”
