  • Looking Beyond the Lens

    Looking Beyond the Lens

    I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to do the things I have done, to have visited the places I have went to. Like many others I try to take pictures of where I have been and what I have done but I don’t always get the pictures I want.

  • Life… It’s Not Just About You

    Life… It’s Not Just About You

    In this life it is easy to become selfish. We do have to think about ourselves fairly often – what we will eat, what we will wear, where we will live, who will be our friends, what job/career we will have, what hobbies or interests we will pursue.

    The Only Fair in Life is the County Fair

    I remember going to the county fair one year when I was about ten or eleven. We didn’t have the means to go very often but the first year the Gravitron came to town I was there. After eating a corn dog my mom suggested I ride the Gravitron.

  • O Captain! My Captain!

    O Captain! My Captain!

    Language and literature can be a beautiful thing. It can evoke happiness and joy, it can provide encouragement and resolve, it can soothe heartache and provide words when one cannot find the words. There is a mighty power in words and when used wisely they can transform us.

    Live the Fun Life, Not Just the High Life

    The other day a friend sent me a video about an elevator marathon. While it wasn’t as funny as other things they have done it was still enjoyable to watch simply because it was people having good fun. And I like that, I enjoy seeing others enjoying themselves. I like hearing others laugh…

  • Never Lose Your Sense of Wonder

    Never Lose Your Sense of Wonder

    We are a very jaded society. There is not denying it. Even when something as awesome as going to the moon is neglected by society by the third mission there is one word to use, jaded. This is not good. It is rather it is very sad. Apollo 13 was going

  • Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda… But Never Did

    Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda… But Never Did

    Last Friday morning I was walking downtown and saw a very vibrant rainbow peering through the clouds. It was not just small, short, unfinished rainbow but it was a large, bright, colorful one that arced across the sky. It was a Kodak moment type of rainbow, one where it was worth stopping for a moment…

  • Michael Scott was Right, It’s About People

    Michael Scott was Right, It’s About People

    I loved the tv show The Office (US version). It was a well written show that portrayed the office life in all its fullness, quirks and all. Even with all the over embellished antics the coworkers did everything was still very plausible in an actual workplace. The key to the dynamic was Michael Scott –…

    Endless Music on 88 Piano Keys

    A few years ago I used to listen to Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! on NPR. It is an entertaining show that quizzes people on the latest headline news. Because my travel patterns have changed I have not listened to it in a while. A few weeks ago I decided to listen to a few…
