  • Pope Watch

    Thanks for visiting this site to get the latest misinformation about the election of the next Pope. He is in Rome now. Actually I had a dream about the puff of white smoke, so I know the winner. This is the second blog I’ve written in the past week on the Pope, a subconscious act […]

  • Save My Post Office

    The post office that played a key role in my upbringing is on the list of buildings that may be sold by the cash-starved U.S. Postal Service. The memories of the brick building on the Morristown, New Jersey square remain rich, even after 50 years. I’ve read there is a movement to protect this architectural treasure. Here […]

  • Sunset Moments

    Luck in life is being able to enjoy sunsets, to get to know how they evolve, to enjoy their beauty and to move on when all is dark. The best sunsets occur when clouds disperse shades of red, orange and purple in the sky after the sun drops below the horizon. I’ve seen people turn their backs […]

  • Two Dogs as One

    Our dogs are always more than filler for those moments when I’m relaxing at doing nothing and my mind is without focus. Today, Sammy, weighing in at 90-lbs, is poured into an oversized leather chair, dreaming of walks, cats, food or something of that nature. Daisy, his compatriot with the unmistakeable countenance of a fox, […]

  • The Middle Ages in 2013

    I was eating lunch yesterday when the Pope quit, the first pontiff to step down since the Middle Ages. The news here is that the media rarely rarely references the Middle Ages, a time of stake burnings, religous wars (we still have those)and the high risk of death associated with childbirth. But this year we’ve […]

  • No Longer “Swell”

    I sometimes deal with today’s global turnmoil by watching “Perry Mason” shows from 50 years ago.  Today’s show featured an elderly woman who says “swell” when agreeing to a suggestion from Perry. You don’t hear “swell” anymore and if you do, it is usally doesn’t mean what it did in the 1950s. Today people  say “sure,” a lazier, if […]

  • Meaning of Life, Part 2

    Figuring out the meaning of life is tiring, but it should be attempted. Why else are we here? There are two extremes involved in this debate: (1) there is no correct answer because any response is a human contrivance subject to human error; and (2) God will take care of it, just try to be good […]

  • A Revolution Without Guns

    Last night the President delivered his first State of Union address of his second term while police cornered and presumbably killed an fugitive ex-cop who killed cops and their loved ones. The speech ended dramatically with a challenge to Congress to at least vote on a gun violence prevention bill. The President’s refrain was “deserve a […]
