At first glance, this little addendum to our discussions might seem off-topic. But, is it really, if all I am trying to convey is why you...as a grandparent, or a parent, some other relative or just a
good, caring friend of ALL children...should not overlook the times you
may play a role in a young person's Life as a teacher.
The short conversation that is the basis of this discussion is a bit irreverent...maybe even brusque. It is written from the…

Two years ago today, I met my best friend right here on TBD. She rescued me from a life of mediocrity, repression, and numbness by reaching out to me on a springlike Sunday afternoon. She took off my boots, set aside my gun, and kissed me ever so gently. She was already finding her own new way, and she encouraged me to find mine. We stayed up all night chatting, discovering each other, and realizing this connection we had was big. And since that time, our epic story has grown beyond…

the gift
He stood out in the rain, in the night, under the street light: hat in hand looking toward the heavens. Waiting. Expectant. Patient.
I looked down from my 3rd story window and watched him wait, wondering about the who, what, where and why of it all. I went back to the couch returning to my book, but it gave me no pleasure. I was bewitched by this sight of a man in the rain waiting for…

Beethoven moved to Vienna in 1792, when he was 21 years old. He was probably first introduced to the great composer Joseph Haydn in late 1790, when the latter was traveling to London and stopped in Bonn around Christmas time. They met in Bonn on Haydn's return trip from London to Vienna in July 1792, and it is likely that arrangements were made at that time for Beethoven to study with the old master.
Years later, after Beethoven achieved widespread fame, Haydn wanted to take…

I wanted to take the ride, sit under the stars with you by my side and watch the sky blanket the earth, wade through an ocean of rebirth; a simple moment in time, love to live, live to die, never to turn a blind eye on the freedom of choice, a river of hope, a baby's cry, the pain of doubt, never to forever decide on years ahead and those behind just take the ride and…
