My Birthday Blog 2010

My Birthday Blog 2010

Today’s my birthday and I never really wanted to celebrate it until these past few years of fifty five of them. I hated celebrating it when I was a child, preteen, and teenager cause all my family would get together for it. That meant that for sure my sexual abuser would come for me while my Mom neglected me cause of her celebrating in her own selfish way. I remember feeling that my birthday party was for her more than me. My Dad wasn’t around much due to working… Continue

Shall We Set Them Free?

While millions of Americans were finishing up their holiday celebrations, the Bureau of Land Management was flying helicopters over rangeland in Nevada, trapping hundreds of wild horses and condemning many of them to live the rest of their lives in a confined "holding pen."

Express your outrage today – don't allow our iconic wild horses to be rounded up and confined in tiny pens. Support the Restoring Our American Mustangs (ROAM) Act today! »

The act of rounding up wild… Continue

Will 2010 Be The Year

You think these things are difficult to see, to watch, to face,

How does it feel to be the helpless child who LIVES it every day,

Who lives in fear, Hope and trust for some CARING someone, ANYONE to stand up and hear, see and take action against what is happening to them...… Continue

Famous Half-Vulcans: Spock

Spock is the son of Vulcan ambassador Sarek and human Amanda Grayson. The relationship between Spock and Sarek often is turbulent, although rooted in an underlying respect and carefully restrained love for each other. Their falling out began when Spock declined an offer to study at the prestigious Vulcan Science Academy and instead joined Starfleet against his father's wishes. Spock served on the USS Enterprise for eleven years under the command of Captain Christopher Pike and continues to… Continue

New Year's Prayer

Dear Lord,

I pray for

A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,

without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;

An understanding heart;

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

A feeling of the presence of God;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

With the wisdom… Continue

ON THE ROAD AGAIN 19

The last blog was just after we arrived in Leesburg, VA. The Snow was deep, but most of the roads were plowed. And the ones that weren't plowed, the jeep handled with no problem. My son's flight from AZ got in late Sun night but it did arrive. On Monday,Tue, Wed, and Thursday I did my Christmas shopping and we put everything under the Christmas tree. Christmas eve we went to "NIDO'S" restaurant for a big dinner. This is tradition. We have done this every Christmas for 20 years. My Son, Bryan… Continue

"BROTHERS ALL ARE WE"

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH....
In my minds eye, there is a picture similar to "hands across America" where we all take a hold of another's hand all around the world as "Brothers All Are We" to share each moment and practice perfect harmony with all nations.
I am sending blessings to you and yours that our New Year may be one of ever growing peace.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS"

Last 10 update and "Getting back on the horse..."

You're kidding me, right? It's December 29th already?! Where did the time go and what have I been doing?! Oh, that's right....working!! I've tried to squeeze in some good livin' (and some lovin' along the way) but work has dominated. Once fall hit I went into high gear at work and have barely taken my hand from the plow for a second. This week, however, with the offices closed, I am taking some much needed and desired time to rest, breath deeply, reflect and reconnect.

The Daily… Continue

Tea and Sympathy

There's a small part of me that leans...occasionally...to the conservative side of the spectrum. Actually, I will confess to having a bit of sympathy for the current rash of Tea Party attendees. Oh, not for the Beck the Brick followers who drool over every tear from Mr Crusty, but for the INTENT of the movement.

We've been told that there are certain institutions in this country that have simply become "Too Big To Fail." If that is TRULY the case, then - de facto - those companies… Continue

Ive gone ape for you

Seems I was censored again. I don't even know who erased my post, so its no big deal coming from a sophisticated you know what....... Anyway, a idea for this blog post came to my mind.

Around TBD you can talk about religion, politics, sex, dancing, whatever..but on the other hand if you say all people remind you of apes you may be censored

It is a major control thing that happens around here. I mean you can call someone crazy as a run over dog, you can call them rats,… Continue

Livin' out here on "The Leelanau". They paid their last respects to Harry today.

Today I attended the funeral service for Harry. He was one of the old boys. He was a link to times gone by, and he lived in Leelanau County...."The Leelanau" was not his home.

Harry was not an book educated guy. He left school at a very young age, and went to work. It was rumored that he couldn't read or write. He joined the US Navy during WWII, and put himself in harms way to save his ship. He never said much about it, but it took 41 years before he was awarded a medal for his… Continue
