The Value of Those who Dig the Past! Perhaps it’s funny, or maybe amazing, or even strange, but last night I received an email from an individual I hadn’t heard from (or even thought about) for almost six [6] decades. He was a former student of mine from a year that I taught part-time to […]

Friendships are being threatened. Families are perhaps about to be tested. Who would have thought that this country would ever face again a threat […]

More ego, not so much!! I’m falling behind…(end of February ‘25)… Snow has become deeper and even though we had some very cold days early in the month, things warmed up along with some excellent five (*) star days.
