Thoughts, Philosophy, Life and Love
Samuel Wright This last weekend my wife and I watched The Astronaut Farmer. This is truly an outstanding movie. Not for the reality or the graphics, but for the story itself. Obviously the chances of a person being able to build an orbital craft in their back yard (Or barn, as in the movie) are slim to … Read more
As I grow older, I also find myself longing for the things of my youth. Things that I know I will never see again except in my memories. While most of these memories are scarred by the passage of time, many are still intact, but when I say scarred by the passage of time, I … Read more
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be famous? To have the public wanting to know about you and what you are doing, or to command the respect of many simply by being… you? Sure… we all have, at some point, considered the idea. I had alway thought about becoming a … Read more

Many areas where there is a military base have a program called “Adopt a Soldier” for the holidays. We have hosted a couple Marines for Thanksgiving, and it is great. I am told that … Read more

So… Next month Eliza, our “special needs” dog turns five years old. It was decided that we would have a party for her. This is partially my fault. I thought it would be a neat idea to have a little get together and invite the Vets that saved her life over to the house for … Read more

I was awoke to some bad news this morning. It appears that a group of Hispanics decided to go after a local Mosque this morning at about 5am. It has yet to be decided if this was a hate crime or just a issue where the Hispanic group was just being stupid, though for my … Read more
Is it me, or have our choices for political office, all of them, been gradually getting worse over the years?
