Happy Thanksgiving…
Happy Thanksgiving to you all… and especially to all the men and women, brothers and sisters all, serving in harms way, throughout the world, in America’s Armed forces.

More adventures in Masonry…
In a past article, I shared with you how important being part of the Masons was to me. The fact that it was a part of my family for a long time is only part of the reason, more importantly is the effect that groups like the Masons have on those around them. Not just … Read more
Halloween…
For me there is just something exciting about Halloween. It is not so much the day itself, though I will say that it is an under appreciated holiday. Maybe it is just something as simple as the fact that it represents, to me at least, the change of seasons. A time when there starts to … Read more
How do we end Racism?
How do we end racism? Can we end racism? My opinion on this may be quite simple. You may even call it naive or short-sighted but it is my opinion none-the-less. I feel that the biggest way in which to end racism is to stop teaching and promoting it. That is, for us, the older … Read more

Back from the nowhere…
OK… I have no excuse. I have not written in almost a month and the only thing I can present as my defense is that I was lazy and that I have also been working very hard on a story that I am going to submit. It is a work of fiction, but I am … Read more

How did I do?
OK… so July was my first “Theme” month. I have not tried that before and would like to know what you thought of it. I would like to try different things from time to time and would like what ever input you, my readers, would like to give. I am also thinking about doing a … Read more
